Displaying bals in loc.curr. only is not defined for foreign curr.accounts

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I've tried to change the account currency in the master data of a G/L account. I've tried to fill in USD instead of EUR.

SAP has given me the follow message:

Displaying bals in loc.curr. only is not defined for foreign curr.accounts

Message no. FH133

Could anyone tell me how to solve this?

Thanks

Proceed as follows:

1. In transaction code: FS00, enter the G/L account and company code you trying to make the changes for.

2. Enter and make note of the account group.

3. Go now to transaction code: OBD4 and locate the account group for that particular G/L account

4. Highlight the account group and click on Field Status

5. Double-click on Account Control

6. Select the radio button suppress for "Only Balances in Local Currency" and save.

7. Go back to FS00 and carryout your changes now.

Note: This change will however affect all G/L accounts that uses this account group. Is this something you really want to do?

Regards,

Elias
