1J628 - Details

• The SAP error message 1J628 indicates that there is a mismatch between the account currency and the required currency for a SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) payment method. Specifically, it states that the account currency should be in EUR (Euros) when using the SEPA payment method.
  
  Cause:
  
  Currency Mismatch: The account from which the payment is being made is not set to Euro (EUR). SEPA payments are designed to work with Euro transactions, and thus the system enforces this requirement.
  
  Configuration Issues: The payment method configuration in SAP may not be set up correctly to handle SEPA payments for accounts that are not in EUR.
  Master Data Issues: The vendor or customer master data may have an incorrect currency setting.

  Check Account Currency:
  
  Verify the currency of the bank account being used for the SEPA payment. Ensure that it is set to EUR.
  If the account is not in EUR, you may need to change the account
