How To Fix FR387 - Companny codes have different local currencies

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FR - Messages for FI Reporting

• Message number: 387

• Message text: Companny codes have different local currencies

What causes this issue?

Since the minimum/maximum amount as of which revenues must be reported
by a legal taxpayer is an essential criterion for generating the
withholding tax report, you can only do combined evaluations of company
codes in one selection if they have the same local currency. The
evaluation mainly involves local currency amounts. You could not
obtain valid results from evaluations in different currencies having
the same absolute amount as the minimum/maximum amount.

How to fix this error?

You should start a separate evaluation run for each currency if you
really want to do evaluations of company codes with different min./max.
amounts, and the amounts are required for the evaluation. In doing so,
you should deal with each of the company codes with the corresponding
currency.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FR387 - Companny codes have different local currencies ?

  The SAP error message FR387 indicates that there is a mismatch in the local currencies of the company codes involved in a transaction. This typically occurs when you are trying to post a transaction that involves multiple company codes, and those company codes have been configured with different local currencies.
  Cause:
  
  Different Local Currencies: Each company code in SAP can be assigned a different local currency. If you attempt to perform a transaction that involves multiple company codes with differing local currencies, SAP will generate this error.
  Transaction Type: Certain transactions, such as intercompany postings, require that the company codes involved have the same local currency.
  Configuration Issues: The company codes may not have been set up correctly in the system, leading to inconsistencies in currency settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Company Code Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Settings > Define Company Code).
  Verify the local currency settings for each company code involved in the transaction. Ensure that they are set to the same currency if they are meant to be used together.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transaction:
  
  If the transaction can be adjusted to involve only one company code, consider doing so to avoid the error.
  If intercompany transactions are necessary, ensure that all involved company codes are configured to use the same local currency.
  
  
  
  Use Currency Conversion:
  
  If the company codes must remain in different local currencies, consider using currency conversion methods or posting in a common currency (like a controlling area currency) if applicable.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the configuration, consult with an SAP Basis or functional consultant who can provide guidance based on your specific system setup.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Intercompany Transactions: When dealing with intercompany transactions, it is crucial to ensure that all involved company codes are aligned in terms of currency settings.
  Currency Types: Understand the different types of currencies in SAP (local currency, group currency, and transaction currency) and how they interact.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on configuring company codes and handling currency settings.
