• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_CFIN_BC_REPORT084 - Diffnt number of decimal places for currency &1 in source &2 and CFIN ?

  The SAP error message FINS_CFIN_BC_REPORT084 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the number of decimal places for a specific currency between the source system and the Central Finance (CFIN) system. This can occur during the data transfer process when the configuration for currency handling is not consistent across the systems involved.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The source system and the Central Finance system have different settings for the number of decimal places for the same currency. For example, if the source system is configured to use two decimal places for USD, but the CFIN system is set to use three decimal places, this error will occur.
  Data Transfer Issues: During the data transfer process, if the currency data is not formatted correctly or if there are inconsistencies in the data structure, it can lead to this error.
  Custom Developments: If there are custom programs or enhancements that manipulate currency data, they may not adhere to the expected decimal place settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings in both the source system and the CFIN system.
  Verify the number of decimal places set for the currency in question. This can typically be found in the transaction code OB08 (for currency settings).
  Ensure that both systems are aligned in terms of currency configuration.
  
  
  
  Adjust Decimal Places: 
  
  If a mismatch is found, adjust the decimal places in either the source system or the CFIN system to ensure consistency.
  Note that changing the decimal places in a live system may have implications, so it should be done with caution and proper testing.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: 
  
  Before transferring data, validate the data in the source system to ensure that it adheres to the expected format and decimal places.
  Implement checks in any custom developments to ensure they respect the currency settings.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Data: 
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, reprocess the data transfer to see if the error persists.
