• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CID199 - Inconsistent currencies (header <> line item): & & ?

  The SAP error message CID199, which indicates "Inconsistent currencies (header <> line item)," typically arises when there is a mismatch between the currency specified in the document header and the currency used in the line items of a financial document. This inconsistency can prevent the document from being processed correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Mismatch: The most common cause is that the document header has a different currency than the line items. For example, the header might be in USD while the line items are in EUR.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that are not aligned, such as currency settings in the company code or controlling area.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during document creation can lead to inconsistencies in currency.
  Document Type Settings: Certain document types may have specific currency settings that need to be adhered to.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Header and Line Items: Review the document to ensure that the currency in the header matches the currency in all line items. If they do not match, you will need to correct the currency in either the header or the line items.
  Adjust Currency Settings: If the mismatch is due to configuration, check the settings in the company code or controlling area to ensure that they are set up correctly for the currencies being used.
  Recreate the Document: If the document is not too complex, it may be easier to delete the erroneous document and recreate it with the correct currency settings.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like FB01 (for general journal entries) or FB50 (for general ledger) to create or modify documents, ensuring that the currency is consistent.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling currency issues in your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB03 (Display Document) to review the document details.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to currency inconsistencies.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that users have the appropriate permissions to make changes to document currencies.
  Training and Best Practices: Provide training for users on how to correctly enter financial documents to avoid currency mismatches in the future.
  
  By addressing the root cause of the inconsistency and ensuring proper configuration and data entry practices, you can resolve the CID199 error and prevent it from occurring in the future.
