• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GK606 - Ledgers with differing ledger currencies are assigned to the cons groups ?

  The SAP error message GK606 indicates that there is a mismatch in the ledger currencies assigned to different ledgers within a controlling area or company code. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform a transaction that involves multiple ledgers, and those ledgers have different currencies assigned to them.
  Cause:
  
  Different Ledger Currencies: The primary cause of this error is that the ledgers involved in the transaction are configured with different currencies. For example, if one ledger is set to use USD and another is set to use EUR, this mismatch will trigger the error.
  Configuration Issues: This can also arise from incorrect configuration in the controlling area or company code settings, where the currency settings for ledgers are not aligned.
  Consistent Grouping: The error may occur when trying to assign or group ledgers that are not consistent in terms of their currency settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Ledger Configuration: Review the configuration of the ledgers involved in the transaction. Ensure that they are set up with the same currency if they are intended to be used together.
  
  Go to the transaction code OB22 to check the currency settings for the ledgers.
  
  
  Adjust Currency Settings: If you find that the ledgers have different currencies, you may need to adjust the settings to ensure they are consistent. This may involve changing the currency of one of the ledgers or creating a new ledger with the correct currency.
  Review Assignment of Ledgers: Ensure that the assignment of ledgers to the controlling area or company code is correct and that they are grouped appropriately.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Finance team to understand the implications of changing ledger currencies, as this can affect financial reporting and data integrity.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB22 (for ledger currency settings) and OKKP (for controlling area settings).

  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the changes do not adversely affect other areas of the system.
