• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST187 - CoCode &1 has crcy types &2 and &3; however, CO area uses crcy type &4 ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST187 indicates a currency type mismatch between the company code and the controlling area. Specifically, it suggests that the company code has two currency types defined (e.g., local currency and document currency), but the controlling area is using a different currency type.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Type Mismatch: The company code is configured with specific currency types (e.g., local currency and hard currency), while the controlling area is set up with a different currency type that does not match the company code's configuration.
  Configuration Issues: This can occur if the controlling area was created or modified after the company code, and the currency types were not aligned properly.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the setup of either the company code or the controlling area can lead to this mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for both the company code and the controlling area.
  Ensure that the currency types are consistent. You can check this in the following paths:
  
  For Company Code: SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? General Ledger Accounting ? Master Data ? G/L Account ? Prepare G/L Account Creation ? Define Company Code.
  For Controlling Area: SPRO ? Controlling ? General Controlling ? Master Data ? Controlling Area ? Define Controlling Area.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Currency Types:
  
  If you find that the currency types are indeed mismatched, you may need to adjust the settings in either the company code or the controlling area to ensure they align.
  You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to make these changes, as they may require specific authorizations.
  
  
  
  Recreate Controlling Area:
  
  If the mismatch is significant and cannot be resolved through configuration changes, you may need to consider recreating the controlling area with the correct currency types. This is a more drastic measure and should be done with caution.
