• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >3581 - Company code &1 and company code &2 have different local currencies ?

  The SAP error message 3581 indicates that there is a mismatch in the local currencies of two different company codes involved in a transaction. This typically occurs when you are trying to post a transaction that involves multiple company codes, and those company codes are set up with different local currencies in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Different Local Currencies: Each company code in SAP can have its own local currency. If you attempt to perform a transaction that involves two company codes with different local currencies, SAP will raise this error.
  Configuration Issues: The company codes may not be configured correctly in the system, leading to inconsistencies in currency settings.
  Transaction Type: Certain transactions, such as intercompany transactions, require that the company codes involved have the same local currency.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Company Code Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Settings > Company Code > Define Company Code).
  Verify the local currency settings for both company codes involved in the transaction. Ensure that they are set to the same local currency if they are meant to be used together.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transaction:
  
  If the company codes are meant to have different local currencies, consider adjusting the transaction to ensure it only involves one company code or to use a different method for intercompany transactions.
  
  
  
  Intercompany Transactions:
  
  If you are dealing with intercompany transactions, ensure that the necessary configurations for intercompany accounting are in place. This may involve setting up a common currency for intercompany transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance on handling transactions between company codes with different local currencies.
  
  
  
  Customizing Settings:
  
  If necessary, you may need to customize the settings in the system to allow for transactions between company codes with different local currencies, but this should be done with caution and typically requires a thorough understanding of the implications.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OBY6 (Define Company Code) and OB22 (Define Currency Types).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
  Intercompany Accounting: Understand the principles of intercompany accounting in SAP, as this may provide insights into how to handle transactions between different company codes.
