  The SAP error message FIN_EDI053 indicates that there are different currencies in the line items of a financial document, which is causing a conflict. This error typically arises in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transactions, particularly when dealing with invoices or payment documents that involve multiple currencies.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  Multiple Currencies: The document contains line items that are in different currencies. For example, one line item may be in USD while another is in EUR.
  Currency Configuration: The system is configured to expect all line items in a single currency, and the presence of multiple currencies violates this expectation.
  Inconsistent Currency Settings: The currency settings in the master data (like vendor or customer master records) do not match the currency of the line items in the document.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FIN_EDI053 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Line Items: Review the line items in the document to identify any discrepancies in currency. Ensure that all line items are in the same currency.
  
  
  Adjust Currency Settings:
  
  If the document is supposed to have multiple currencies, check the configuration settings in SAP to allow for this.
  Ensure that the currency settings in the vendor or customer master data are consistent with the line items.
  
  
  
  Convert Currencies: If necessary, convert the amounts in the line items to a single currency before processing the document. This may involve adjusting the amounts based on the current exchange rates.
  
  
  Review EDI Configuration: If the error is occurring during an EDI transaction, review the EDI configuration settings to ensure that they are set up to handle multiple currencies if that is a requirement.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling currency issues in EDI transactions.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FB60 (Enter Incoming Invoice) to review the document and its line items.
  Currency Configuration: Check the configuration in the SAP system under SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) for financial accounting settings related to currencies.
  Exchange Rates: Ensure that the exchange rates are correctly maintained in the system, which can be checked using transaction code OB08.
