ACE045 - Details

• The SAP error message ACE045, which states "The currency of the accrual object cannot be changed," typically occurs in the context of financial postings or accrual accounting when there is an attempt to change the currency of an accrual object that has already been created. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to modify an existing accrual document or when attempting to post a new document that references an existing accrual object.
  
  Cause:
  
  Existing Accrual Object: The accrual object (e.g., a cost center, internal order, or project) has already been created with a specific currency, and SAP does not allow changing the currency once it has been established.
  Currency Configuration: The system may have specific configurations that restrict changes to the currency of certain financial objects.
  Data Consistency: Changing the currency could lead to inconsistencies in financial reporting and data integrity, which is why SAP enforces this restriction.
