C_TS4FI Financial Accounting Practice Question
A financial accountant is using the foreign currency revaluation program (FAGL_FC_VAL) in SAP S/4HANA to revalue open items in a foreign currency. The accountant notices that some open items are not being revalued. What is a possible reason?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming all open items in foreign currency are automatically revalued, overlooking that special G/L indicators can be excluded in the valuation method.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The open items have a special G/L indicator that is excluded from revaluation in the valuation method configuration.
The valuation method configuration includes settings for which special G/L indicators are revalued. Open items with special G/L indicators that are excluded will not be revalued. This allows accountants to selectively exclude certain transactions, such as down payments or bills of exchange, from foreign currency revaluation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The exchange rate used for revaluation is not maintained for the current date in the system.
Why it's wrong here
If the exchange rate is not maintained, the program would either use the last maintained rate or issue an error, but it would not selectively skip some open items. The issue would affect all items requiring that rate. The scenario indicates some items are revalued, so the rate is likely available for most, making this an unlikely cause for selective skipping.
- ✓
The open items have a special G/L indicator that is excluded from revaluation in the valuation method configuration.
Why this is correct
In the valuation method configuration, you can specify which special G/L indicators are included or excluded from revaluation. If an open item has a special G/L indicator that is excluded, it will not be revalued. This is a common reason for specific open items being skipped during revaluation.
- ✗
The revaluation program only selects items with a valuation method that is assigned to the company code.
Why it's wrong here
The valuation method is determined by the valuation area, which is assigned to the company code. However, the program selects items based on the valuation method and other criteria. If the valuation method is not assigned, no items would be selected, but the scenario suggests some items are selected. This is not the most likely reason for selective skipping.
- ✗
The open items are already cleared and therefore not selected for revaluation.
Why it's wrong here
Cleared items are not included in revaluation, but if they are cleared, they would not be considered open items. The scenario states that some open items are not being revalued, implying they are still open. Cleared items would not appear in the open item list, so this is not a reason for open items being skipped.
