Unexpected amount in Local currency

When you process open items in foreign currency, not the local currency amount from the edited documents is displayed (BSEG-DMBTR) but the amount in local currency calculated at the current exchange rate.

When you select open items within clearing procedures, the amount in local currency is recalculated as at the translation date/clearing date from the foreign currency amount.

The local currency amount is not transferred from the document (BSEG-DMBTR).

For example:

Local currency is THB
Open item of 1,000 USD (35,500 DEM when posted)
Clearing in local currency THB
Exchange rate at clearing date: 1 USD = 36 THB

- Equivalent at clearing date: 1,000 USD = 36,000 USD
- OI display: 36,000 USD

The solution is we have to set flag ‘No exchange rate differences for clearing in local currency’ through SAP Configuration (Transaction code: OBY6).
