FI_E287 - Details

• The SAP error message FI_E287 "No automatic Down Payment Clearing because of different currency" typically occurs when there is an attempt to clear down payments that are in different currencies. This situation arises when the down payment and the invoice or payment being cleared do not share the same currency, which prevents automatic clearing in the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Currency Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the down payment and the invoice or payment you are trying to clear against it are in different currencies. For example, if the down payment is in USD and the invoice is in EUR, the system will not allow automatic clearing.
  Exchange Rate Issues: Even if the currencies are the same, if the exchange rates are not properly maintained or if there are discrepancies in the exchange rate used for the down payment and the invoice, this can also lead to this error.
