• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOE_MESSAGE069 - Country for Company Code and Bank Key must be the same ?

  The SAP error message BOE_MESSAGE069 indicates that there is a mismatch between the country of the company code and the country associated with the bank key. This error typically occurs during financial transactions or when setting up bank details in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the country specified for the company code does not match the country associated with the bank key. Each company code in SAP is assigned a specific country, and similarly, each bank key is also linked to a specific country. If these do not align, the system will throw this error to prevent inconsistencies in financial transactions.
  Solution:

  Look for the bank key that is causing the issue and check the country associated with it.
  
  
  
  Align the Countries:
  
  If the countries do not match, you will need to either:
  
  Change the country of the bank key to match the company code.
  Or, if necessary, create a new bank key that corresponds to the correct country.
  
  
  
  
  
  Update Bank Details:
  
  If you are entering bank details for a vendor or customer, ensure that the bank details you are entering correspond to the correct company code.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
