  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMPEB059 - Currencies of company codes &1 and &2 are different ?

    The SAP error message FMPEB059 indicates that there is a mismatch in the currencies of two different company codes involved in a financial transaction or posting. This error typically arises when you are trying to process a transaction that involves multiple company codes, and the currencies assigned to those company codes are not the same.

    Cause:

    1. Different Currencies: The primary cause of this error is that the two company codes involved in the transaction are set up with different local currencies. For example, if Company Code A is set to use USD and Company Code B is set to use EUR, this error will occur when trying to post a transaction that involves both company codes.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP system where the currencies for the company codes were not set up correctly or were changed after transactions were already posted.
    3. Transaction Type: Certain transaction types may require that the company codes involved use the same currency.

    Solution:

    1. Check Company Code Settings: Verify the currency settings for both company codes involved in the transaction. You can do this by navigating to the following path in SAP:

      • Transaction Code: OX02 (for company code settings)
      • Check the "Currency" field for both company codes to ensure they match.
    2. Adjust Transaction: If the currencies are different and you need to process the transaction, consider adjusting the transaction to involve only one company code or converting the amounts to the same currency if applicable.

    3. Use a Common Currency: If the business process requires transactions between the two company codes, consider using a common currency for inter-company transactions. This may involve configuring a new currency or using a currency conversion process.

    4. Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about changing currency settings or if it impacts financial reporting, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with financial regulations and reporting standards.

    5. Check for Custom Logic: If there are any custom developments or enhancements in your SAP system that might affect currency handling, review those as well.
