• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BP421 - Values were already entered in a currency different than &1 ?

  The SAP error message BP421 indicates that there is an issue with currency entries in a business partner (BP) transaction. Specifically, it means that values have already been entered in a currency that is different from the one specified in the error message (represented by &1). This typically occurs when there is an attempt to enter or modify data in a business partner record where the currency does not match the existing entries.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that enforce strict currency rules for business partner records.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Entries: Review the existing entries for the business partner to identify the currency that has already been used. You can do this by navigating to the relevant business partner transaction and checking the currency fields.
  Use the Correct Currency: If you need to enter new values, ensure that you are using the same currency as the existing entries. If the existing currency is not appropriate for your transaction, you may need to adjust the previous entries or create a new business partner record.
  Adjust Configuration: If this error is occurring frequently and is causing issues, consider reviewing the configuration settings related to currency handling in your SAP system. This may involve consulting with your SAP administrator or functional consultant.
