• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GG104 - Only assign global companies to company codes with the same currency ?

  The SAP error message GG104 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of global companies to company codes that do not share the same currency. This error typically arises when you attempt to assign a global company to a company code that uses a different currency than the one defined for the global company.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the currency of the global company does not match the currency of the company code you are trying to assign it to. In SAP, a global company can only be assigned to company codes that use the same currency to ensure consistency in financial reporting and transactions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the GG104 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Currency Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or navigate through the SAP menu) to check the currency settings for the company code.
  Verify the currency assigned to the company code you are trying to assign to the global company.
  
  
  
  Modify Company Code Currency:
  
  If the company code's currency is incorrect and needs to be changed, you can modify it. However, changing the currency of a company code can have significant implications, so it should be done with caution and typically requires thorough planning and possibly consultation with your finance team.
  
  
  
  Adjust Global Company Settings:
  
  If the global company is incorrectly set up with the wrong currency, you may need to adjust its currency settings. This can be done in the configuration settings for the global company.
  
  
  
  Create a New Company Code:
  
  If changing the currency is not feasible, consider creating a new company code that uses the same currency as the global company and then assign the global company to this new company code.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific instructions related to your version of SAP, as the steps may vary slightly.
