• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FARR_RAI - Revenue Accounting Item

• Message number: 676

• Message text: Different currencies in predecessor chain (&1/acct.principle &2)

What causes this issue?

Item &v3& is part of a predecessor document chain, that is, it refers
either to a predecessor document<(>,<)> or is a predecessor document
itself.
Items of a predecessor document chain are aggregated during processing
and must therefore have the same currency code.
The system tried to process one or more items of the predecessor
document chain that has item &v1& as its highest level predecessor
document. Not all of the processed items of this chain have the same
currency code. Therefore all items that belong to this chain could not
be processed.

System Response

The system cannot process item &v3& for accounting principle &v2&.

How to fix this error?

Correct the revenue accounting items of the predecessor document chain
that have a different currency code and process the chain again.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
