  Verify that the currency types are consistent across the controlling areas.
  
  
  
  Adjust Currency Types:
  
  If you find that the currency types are different, you may need to adjust the configuration of one or more controlling areas to ensure they match.
  This may involve changing the currency type settings in the controlling area configuration.
