• Message text: Document type & not allowed for the local currency subgroup

What causes this issue?

In <GL:document_type>document type</> &V1&, the <DS:DE.RLEVL>posting
level</> is greater than 1, which means that
<GL:eliminating_entry>eliminating</> or
<GL:consolidation_entry>consolidation entries</> should be posted in
the <GL:group_currency>group currency</>.
The currency of <GL:subgroup>subgroup</> &V2& does not concur with
the ledger currency, i.e. this is a local currency group. In this
case, the document type may not post in the group currency.
There could be two reasons:
The document type posts in the group currency instead of the local
currency.
You have selected a wrong subgroup.
