• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKK_SEPA151 - Determined bank country &1 is different: bank data is overwritten ?

  The SAP error message FKK_SEPA151 indicates that there is a mismatch between the bank country determined in the system and the bank data being used for a transaction. This typically occurs in the context of SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) transactions, where the bank details must align with the country of the bank account.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The bank country derived from the customer/vendor master data does not match the country of the bank account information being used in the payment run.
  There may be inconsistencies in the configuration of the bank data or the master data of the customer/vendor.
  The bank account details may have been changed or incorrectly entered, leading to a mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify the customer or vendor master data to ensure that the bank country is correctly set. You can do this by navigating to the relevant master data transaction (e.g., FD03 for customers or FK03 for vendors) and checking the bank details.
  
  
  
  Review Bank Data:

  Consistency Check:
  
  Make sure that the bank data used in the payment run matches the country of the bank account. If the bank account is in a different country, you may need to update the payment method or bank details accordingly.
