Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST189 - Ledger/CoCode &1/&3 uses crcy type &2, which is not in the leading ledger ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST189 indicates that there is a mismatch between the currency type used in a specific ledger and the currency types defined in the leading ledger for the specified company code. This typically occurs in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) and General Ledger (G/L) accounting.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Type Mismatch: The error arises when a ledger (in this case, a specific company code and ledger combination) is configured to use a currency type that is not defined in the leading ledger. Each ledger can have different currency types, and if the currency type used in a non-leading ledger is not available in the leading ledger, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: This can happen due to incorrect configuration settings in the system, particularly in the settings for ledgers and currency types.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Ledger Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB22 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > G/L Account > Prepare G/L Account Creation).
  Verify the configuration of the leading ledger and the specific ledger in question. Ensure that the currency types are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Add Currency Type to Leading Ledger:
  
  If the currency type used in the non-leading ledger is not defined in the leading ledger, you may need to add it. This can be done in the same configuration area where you checked the ledger settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Company Code Settings:
  
  Check the company code settings (transaction code OBY6) to ensure that the currency types are correctly assigned to the company code and that they match the requirements of the ledgers.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or FI consultant to ensure that the configuration aligns with best practices and your organization's requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that transactions can be processed without issues.
