How To Fix FINS_ACDOC_CUST399 - Curr. type &1 cannot be added in ledger &3 for comp. code &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FINS_ACDOC_CUST - Unified Journal Entry - Customizing

• Message number: 399

• Message text: Curr. type &1 cannot be added in ledger &3 for comp. code &2

What causes this issue?

The system tries to add the currency type &V1& as
<DS:DE.FINS_CURTYPE_K>global currency</> in the
<DS:SIMG.FINSVC_LEDGER>Company Code Settings for the Ledger</> for
ledger &V3& and company code &V2&.

System Response

The currency type &V1& is already an additional FI currency in the
leading ledger. As a consequence it must also be defined in this
non-leading ledger as additional FI currency. But introducing a new
additional FI currency in this non-leading ledger &V3& requires that the
entries in tables BSEG_ADD and BKPF are updated: Fields BSEG_ADD-DMBE2
and BKPF-HWAE2 or BSEG-DMBE3 and BKPF-HWAE3 must be updated. This is not
yet supported by an automated process.
