Reset issue, message F5 579

Question

Hello All,
while try to reset a document I receive the error message  "Resetting this reverse document is not possible". In the long text of the message it says
The system required a reverse document to be created after resetting a
clearing procedure as otherwise documents would have been generated in
the system which could not have been processed correctly. The following
cases require the clearing document to be reversed:
Exchange rate differences were posted.
I don't understand why exchange rate differences prevent resetting of this document? Can someone explain?

Answer 1

HI,
If a clearing document with exchange rate difference will be reset a reversal of the clearing is forced. Reason for this is the following:
the invoices will be open again by reset clearing. If invoices are cleared again exchange rate differences are posted again (maybe with different exchange rates). Due to the reset clearing the basis of excahnge rate difference items
of clearing document was gone. That's why this clearing document must be reversed.
As you sent the long text please read it again.
"The system required a reverse document to be created after resetting a  clearing procedure as otherwise documents would have been generated in  the system which could not have been processed correctly. The following  cases require the clearing document to be reversed:  - Exchange rate differences were posted."
If you display the document you will see that there is a line item which corresponds to an exchange rate difference.
Therefore, that is the reason why the document cannot be just cleared.
