SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FCOM_MONITOR - Messages for Variance Monitor

• Message number: 027

• Message text: Rule &1 cannot be evaluated due to currency inconsistency

What causes this issue?

An absolute limit value was defined for the rule in a currency that
cannot be used to evaluate the rule.
The rule was probably defined for a group of objects (cost center or
order group) in which all objects had the same currency that was not the
controlling area currency at the time the rule was defined. The object
group was changed after the rule was defined, resulting in a nonuniform
object currency.

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

System Response

The rule cannot be evaluated.

How to fix this error?

Update the rule definition by saving again (and adjusting the absolute
limit value).
