SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FINS_ACDOC_CUST - Unified Journal Entry - Customizing

• Message number: 404

• Message text: Curr. type &1 added as additional FI currency for comp. code &2

What causes this issue?

The system adds 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 company code &V2& and the leading ledger &V3&.
Also in non-leading ledgers (if there are some) the settings are
adjusted by the system accordingly.

System Response

Since no postings exist yet, the system automatically defines this
currency type as 2nd or 3rd FI currency in the <ls>Company Code Settings
for the Ledger </>. This is the recommended setting in S/4HANA.

How to fix this error?

You can manually remove the currency type &V1& from being 2nd or 3rd FI
currency if you do not want to use this currency type as additional FI
currency. You can do this in the <ls>Company Code Settings for the
Ledger</>. As a consequence the amounts for currency type &V1& will be
calculated by Controlling (CO) instead of by Financial Accounting (FI).
See <DS:TX.FINS_UNIFIED_CURCONV_FI_CO>here</> for more information on
the logic how Controlling calculates amounts.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
