Specifically, the error states that the conversion to the KHS1 (costing variant) is only possible when the costed CO area currency is being used. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:

  Costing Variant Settings: The costing variant may not be configured correctly to handle the currency conversion.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data of the cost objects, such as incorrect currency settings in the material master or cost center master data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check CO Area Currency: Verify the currency settings for the controlling area. Ensure that the currency used in the cost object matches the currency defined for the CO area.
