SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AO - Appropriation requests - Master data / Customizing

• Message number: 018

• Message text: Co. code currency &1 was adopted, since differnt CO area currency allowed

What causes this issue?

In controlling area &V2&, the company code currency is allowed to
differ from the controlling area currency. Therefore, the appropriation
request currency (object currency) always has to be the same as the
company code currency.
However, this is not the case.
&NOTE&
At the present time, it is not possible to plan on the appropriation
request in object currency. However, it is possible on the measures
(WBS element or order) that are created from the appropriation request.

System Response

The system automatically adopts company code currency &V1& as the
object currency of the appropriation request.

How to fix this error?

Check if the adoption of company code currency &V1& is correct. Also
check the company code you entered.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AO018 - Co. code currency &1 was adopted, since differnt CO area currency allowed ?

  The SAP error message AO018 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the currency settings of the company code and the controlling area. Specifically, it suggests that the company code currency has been adopted, but the controlling area allows for different currencies. This can lead to issues when trying to post transactions or perform reporting, as the system expects consistency in currency usage.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Configuration Mismatch: The company code is set up with a specific currency, but the controlling area is configured to allow multiple currencies or a different currency.
  Transaction Posting: When attempting to post a transaction, the system detects that the currency of the company code does not match the expected currency settings of the controlling area.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for either the company code or the controlling area may not be aligned in terms of currency settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Currency Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for both the company code and the controlling area.
  Ensure that the currency settings are consistent. If the controlling area allows multiple currencies, ensure that the company code currency is one of the allowed currencies.
  
  
  
  Adjust Controlling Area Settings:
  
  If necessary, you can change the controlling area settings to match the company code currency. This can be done in the configuration settings under the controlling area definition.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
