Open Item Clearing: Exchange Rate Differences

Question

Hi guru
I have one account 100 and in fbl3n I have the following posting:
document number 1: account 100--> Amount 2000$ in S, Exchange rate 0,63
document number 2: account 100--> Amount 2000$ in H, Exchange rate 0,70
Then I have cleared this account but in the posting I have 3 lines item:
1 the account : amount 20 in S         
2 passive difference:  amount 100 in S
3 active difference: amount 120 in H
The user asked me a posting with two lines items:
1 the account: amount 20 in S
2 active difference: amount 20 in H
He would like to see only the difference (120-100)
is it possible?
Thanks
