• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message B1887 - For the ISO code &1 there is more than one SAP currency code for ALE ?

  The SAP error message B1887 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of currency codes for a specific ISO currency code in the context of Application Link Enabling (ALE). This error typically arises when there are multiple SAP currency codes mapped to a single ISO currency code, which can lead to confusion in data exchange processes.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system has been configured in such a way that more than one SAP currency code is associated with the same ISO currency code. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: During the setup of currency codes in the system, multiple entries may have been created for the same ISO code.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, it may have resulted in duplicate currency codes being created.
  Custom Development: Custom programs or enhancements may inadvertently create multiple mappings for the same ISO currency.
