• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AO_PLANNING026 - Currency changed from &1 to &2 - only display is possible ?

  The SAP error message AO_PLANNING026 indicates that there has been a change in the currency used for planning data. Specifically, it states that the currency has changed from one type (denoted as &1) to another (denoted as &2), and as a result, only display actions are permitted for the planning data in question. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's planning applications, such as SAP Analytics Cloud or SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC).
  Cause:
  
  
  Currency Change: The primary cause of this error is that the currency in which the planning data was originally created or saved has been changed. This could happen due to:
  
  Changes in the master data settings.
  Updates to the currency settings in the planning environment.
  Changes in the organizational structure or currency settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency: SAP enforces data consistency rules, and when a currency change is detected, it restricts modifications to prevent inconsistencies in the planning data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Currency Settings: Review the currency settings in the planning environment. Ensure that the currency settings are consistent with the data you are trying to modify.
  
  
  Revert Currency Change: If the currency change was unintentional, revert the currency settings back to the original currency (from &1 to &2) to allow for editing.
  
  
  Create New Planning Data: If the currency change is intentional and you need to work with the new currency, consider creating new planning data in the new currency instead of trying to modify the existing data.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling currency changes in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about the changes, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on your SAP environment, you may need to use specific transaction codes to check or modify currency settings (e.g., OB08 for exchange rates).
  Planning Applications: This error is commonly encountered in applications like SAP BPC, SAP S/4HANA, or SAP Analytics Cloud.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to planning data and currency settings.
  
  By addressing the currency change and ensuring consistency in your planning data, you should be able to resolve the AO_PLANNING026 error and proceed with your planning activities.
