Symptoms

Two ledgers exist in the system, the context is as following:

Primary Ledger (PL) - Functional Currency is USD
Secondary Ledger (SL) - Functional Currency is USD
Conversion type is 'Journal'.  Account Specific Conversion Type: Not Enabled

Created a manual foreign currency (EUR) journal in the Primary Ledger. The entered amount in foreign currency(EUR) is zero, but in the functional currency(USD), converted amount is not zero.
On posting, a journal is created in the Secondary Ledger, but with all 0 amounts (both entered and accounted amounts).

This type of journal is unusual, but used at period/year end to record some gain-loss amounts.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. GL responsibility > Accounting Setup Manager > Identify Primary and Secondary Ledgers having the same functional currency

2. Journals > Enter > Create a Manual journal in foreign currency where the entered amount is zero but the converted amount is not zero

3. Post the journal

4. Verify the Secondary Ledger journal created by Posting, observe this shows all amounts as zero
