    The transaction currency &v1& of the document is different from the
    currency &v2& of the company code &v3&.
    Since this document is to be billed in <LS>IS-U</>, the transaction
    currency must match the currency stored in the <LS>contract account</>.
    If no currency is stored in the contract account, then the transaction
    currency must match the currency of the <LS>company code</>.
    &WARNUNG&
    It is essential that you do <LS>not</> change thet currency in the
    contract account in order to post the document. This would affect
    <ZH>billing in IS-U</>.
    &SOLUTION&
    You have the following alternatives:
    <ZH>Post</> the document <ZH>directly</> in the <ZH>Contract Accounts
    Receivable and Payable</> (FI-CA) component.
    Create the SD billing document using a billing type for which the
    billing category ensures that the billing document is transferred
    directly to FI-CA (the billing category must not be U). In FI-CA, the
    document can be posted in the currency &V1&. If the error occurred in
    the FI/CO interface and an SD billing document already exists, then
    this document must be reversed first.
    <ZH>Change</> the <ZH>document currency</> in the <ZH>SD order</>.
    To change the document currency in the order header, you must reverse
    the whole process in SD. If the error occurred in the FI/CO interface
    and an SD billing document already exists, then this document must be
    reversed. This also applies to any existing delivery.
