What causes this issue?

You are changing currency types. This change affects the Customizing
settings for the Flexible General Ledger and can lead to data being
inconsistent. Even if, after saving data, you then restore the previous
Customizing settings and then resave, you may have irreversibly changed
the Customizing settings for the Flexible General Ledger - leading to
subsequent data inconsistencies.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Changes in a non-productive system are not critical, provided (a) you
delete all transaction data before going live and (b) if inconsistent
data does not matter for test purposes.
If a currency type is changed or deleted when a system is live, you
must ensure that the Flexible General Ledger does not contain any more
data that refers to these currency types. If in doubt, contact your SAP
consultant.
