  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_FI_MIG087 - Company code &1 uses currency types &2 and &3. Controlling uses &4 ?

    The SAP error message FINS_FI_MIG087 indicates a mismatch in currency types between the Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) modules for a specific company code. This error typically arises during the migration or configuration process when the currency settings for the company code in FI do not align with those in CO.

    Cause:

    1. Currency Type Mismatch: The company code is configured to use certain currency types in the FI module (e.g., local currency, document currency) that do not match the currency types used in the CO module.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be discrepancies in the configuration settings for currency types in the FI and CO modules.
    3. Migration Process: If you are migrating data from an older version of SAP or from another system, the currency settings may not have been properly aligned.

    Solution:

    1. Check Configuration:

      • Go to the configuration settings for both FI and CO modules.
      • Verify the currency types assigned to the company code in both modules.
      • Ensure that the currency types used in FI (e.g., &2 and &3) match the currency type used in CO (&4).
    2. Adjust Currency Types:

      • If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust the currency types in either the FI or CO configuration to ensure they are consistent.
      • This can typically be done in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) under:
        • Financial Accounting (FI) > General Ledger Accounting > Master Data > G/L Accounts > Define Account Groups.
        • Controlling (CO) > Cost Element Accounting > Master Data > Define Cost Elements.
    3. Data Migration:

      • If this error occurs during a data migration process, ensure that the migration scripts or tools are correctly mapping the currency types between the source and target systems.
    4. Testing:

      • After making the necessary adjustments, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that transactions can be processed without issues.

    Related Information:

    • Currency Types: In SAP, currency types are used to define how different currencies are handled in financial transactions. Common currency types include:
      • 10: Local currency
      • 20: Document currency
      • 30: Index currency
    • Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like OB22 (for defining currency types) and OX15 (for company code settings) to check and modify the relevant settings.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message, as there may be specific fixes or recommendations provided by SAP.

    By ensuring that the currency types are consistent across both modules, you should be able to resolve the FINS_FI_MIG087 error.
