  Navigating to the relevant invoice or contract in SAP and checking the currency field.

  Changing the payment currency in the payment processing screen.
  Creating a new payment document with the correct currency.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be necessary to review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to currency handling. This may involve:
