• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKK_PAY003 - Payment service is only possible in item currency (&1) ?

  The SAP error message FKK_PAY003 indicates that a payment service operation is being attempted in a currency that is not the item currency. This typically occurs in the context of contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA) when processing payments.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A payment is being processed in a currency that differs from the currency of the items (invoices, credit memos, etc.) that are being paid.
  The system is configured to only allow payments in the item currency, which is a common requirement to ensure consistency in financial reporting and transaction processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FKK_PAY003 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Payment Currency:
  
  Ensure that the payment is being processed in the same currency as the items. If the items are in a specific currency (e.g., EUR), the payment must also be made in EUR.
  
  
  
  Adjust Payment Method:
  
  If you are using a payment method that allows for different currencies, check the configuration of that payment method to ensure it is set up correctly to handle the item currency.
  
  
  
  Currency Conversion:
  
  If you need to make a payment in a different currency, you may need to convert the payment amount to the item currency. This can often be done through the use of exchange rates.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to payment processing and currency handling. This may involve reviewing the settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module or the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module.
