F.05 - Posting Logic - How are the open items grouped?

Question

Hi,
I am trying to understand how the posting logic works. We are on ECC 6, Classic Ledger and use F.05 for the revaluation. I am trying to revalue a Open Item managed balance sheet account, that has open items since 2009. It has  a total of 480 open items, but after reval system posts only 19 entries. I am trying to understand how SAP groups these open items, what criteria is used to group open items to different documents. The totals are matching, but I am failing to understand the how SAP combined these different open items into a smaller set that were actually posted. Can anyone please enlighten me with this logic?
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
In terms of open item valuation, open items are grouped by the Vendor/customer and the transaction currency of the open item. But if corporate group of the vendor/customer are same and group vendor/customer is checked in settings of valuation method, the grouping will be based on corporate group and transaction currency of the open item.
For example: You have 6 open items (say invoices)
Local currency is USD
1. Vendor ABC (GL account 160000) - 100EUR => diff 3$
2. Vendor ABC (GL account 160000) - 150INR => diff 2$
3. Vendor ABC (GL account 160000) - 200AUD => diff -2$
4. Vendor ABC (GL account 160000) - 300EUR => diff 1$
5. Vendor XYZ (GL account 160000) - 350EUR => diff 1.5$ (corporate group - A123)
6. Vendor TTT (GL account 161000) - 200EUR => diff 0.5$ (corporate group - A123)
If you carry out foreign currency valuation now, Assuming that each of these 6 open items gives valuation difference.
1 & 4 will be grouped together and 5 & 6 will be grouped together.
Once the open items are grouped, the following logic applies into each group.
If post per line check is checked in the settings of valuation method, then each differences will be separate line item.
If post per line check is not checked, then all the gains will be grouped as one line item and losses will be grouped as one line item.
