• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F7247 - Display is in local currency ?

  The SAP error message F7247, which states "Display is in local currency," typically occurs when you are trying to view financial data in a currency that is not the local currency of the company code or the transaction. This can happen in various SAP transactions, especially in financial reporting or when dealing with documents that involve multiple currencies.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Settings: The transaction or report you are trying to access is set to display data in the local currency of the company code, but the data you are trying to view is in a different currency.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that dictate how currencies are displayed or converted.
  User Settings: The user profile or settings may be configured to display data in a specific currency that does not match the local currency of the company code.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Display Currency: If you want to view the data in a different currency, check if there is an option to change the display currency in the report or transaction. Look for a currency selection field or dropdown.
  Check Company Code Settings: Ensure that the company code settings are correctly configured to handle multiple currencies if needed. You can check this in the configuration settings under Financial Accounting (FI).
  User Profile Settings: Review your user profile settings to see if you can change the default currency display. This can often be done in the user settings or preferences.
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are using a specific transaction code, ensure that you are using the correct one that allows for multi-currency reporting, if applicable.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific instructions related to the transaction you are using.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Local Currency: This is the currency in which the company code operates. It is defined in the company code settings in SAP.
  Parallel Currencies: SAP allows for the use of parallel currencies (e.g., group currency, hard currency) in addition to the local currency. Ensure that these are set up correctly if you need to work with multiple currencies.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB03 (Display Document), FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display), or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to understand how they handle currency displays.
