• Message number: 240

• Message text: Valuation area &1 can't use curr.type &2 with real-time conversion

What causes this issue?

You have defined a valuation area for use as an inception run.

System Response

Error, since the valuation method uses a currency type with real-time
conversion

How to fix this error?

If a currency type is updated in real-time, an inception run does not
make sense. If you want to set up a valuation area for an inception run,
you need to specify a currency type that is not updated in real-time. An
inception run is used to create initial values for non-real-time
currencies.
If the valuation area is not for use as an inception run, remove the
inception indicator.
