• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FE778 - No shared currency type for the selected company codes ?

  The SAP error message FE778 "No shared currency type for the selected company codes" typically occurs when there is a mismatch or configuration issue related to the currency settings of the company codes involved in a transaction. This error is often encountered in financial transactions, especially when dealing with multiple company codes that need to share a common currency type.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Configuration: The company codes involved in the transaction do not have a shared currency type defined. Each company code can have its own local currency, but for certain transactions, they may need to share a common currency (e.g., group currency).
  Missing Currency Type: The currency type (e.g., local currency, group currency) may not be set up correctly for one or more of the company codes.
  Transaction Type: The transaction being executed may require a specific currency type that is not configured for the selected company codes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Company Code Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or navigate through the SAP menu: Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > Company Code > Edit Company Code Data).
  Verify the currency settings for each company code involved in the transaction. Ensure that they have a common currency type defined.
  
  
  
  Define Shared Currency:
  
  If the company codes do not share a common currency, you may need to define a shared currency type. This can be done in the configuration settings under OB22 (Define Currency Types).
  Ensure that the currency types are correctly assigned to the company codes.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Settings:
  
  Check the specific transaction you are trying to execute. Ensure that it is compatible with the currency settings of the involved company codes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Finance team to ensure that the currency settings align with your organization's financial reporting requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the transaction again to see if the error persists.
