SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G00 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 721

• Message text: Exchange rate will be calculated again

What causes this issue?

The current data row contains currency values in local and group
currency as well as an exchange rate.
However, the explicitly specified exchange rate of &V2& does not
coincide with the implicitly provided exchange rate of &V1& using the
currency values.

System Response

The initial exchange rate will be replaced by the new, computed
exchange rate.

How to fix this error?

Check the values in local and group currencies. Make sure that the
values do not contradict the exchange rate.
If the values are generally provided in local and group currencies,
there is no need to specify an exchange rate at all. The system then
computes the exchange rate.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
