  • What causes this issue?

    In preceding document &v1& , the transaction currency &v2& is different
    from the currency &v3& of the company code &v4&.
    Since this document is to be billed in IS-U, the transaction currency
    must match the currency stored in the contract account.
    If no currency is stored in the contract account, the transaction
    currency must match the currency of the company code.

    How to fix this error?

    INCLUDE NA_SYSADMIN1 OBJECT DOKU ID TX

    Procedure for System Administrators

    You have the following alternatives:
    Post the document directly in FI-CA Contract Accounts Receivable and
    Payable.
    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 (billing category unequal to U).
    In contract accounts receivable and payable, the document can be posted
    in currency &v2&.
    If the error occured in the FI/CO interface and an SD billing document
    already exists, then this document must be reversed first.
    Change the document currency in the SD order
    To change the document currency in the order header, you must reverse
    the whole process in SD.
    If the error occured 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.
    Do not change the currency in the contract account, since this affects
    billing in IS-U.
