Message number: 853
Message text: Caution! Document type & posts in group currency
You are trying to post to <DS:GLOS.consolidation_unit>consolidation
unit</> &V2& using posting level 01, 02 or 10, although the unit does
NOT accept <DS:GLOS.group_currency>group currency.</>
However, the <DS:GLOS.document_type>document type</> being used (&V1&)
posts in group currency.
This is not an error, but the items will not be posted in
<DS:GLOS.local_currency>local currency</>, even though the
consolidation unit reports its data in local currency. In this case,
reports using local currency will not produce useful figures.
Note
Check the currency assignment in the definition of
<DS:GLOS.document_type>document type</> &V1& or, if applicable, allow
the data entry in group currency for consolidation unit &V2&.

GK853
- Caution! Document type & posts in group currency ?The SAP error message GK853, which states "Caution! Document type & posts in group currency," typically occurs in the context of financial postings in SAP, particularly when dealing with document types that are configured to post in group currency rather than local currency. This can lead to potential discrepancies or issues in financial reporting if not handled correctly.
Cause:
- Document Type Configuration: The document type being used is set up to post in group currency, which may not align with the expectations of the user or the configuration of the financial reporting.
- Currency Settings: The transaction may involve multiple currencies, and the system is alerting the user that the posting will be made in group currency, which could lead to confusion or errors in financial statements.
- User Awareness: The message serves as a caution to ensure that users are aware of the currency in which the document is being posted, especially if they are accustomed to working in local currency.
Solution:
- Review Document Type Settings: Check the configuration of the document type in the SAP system. If it is not intended to post in group currency, consider changing the settings to allow postings in local currency.
- User Training: Ensure that users are trained to understand the implications of posting in group currency and how it affects financial reporting.
- Transaction Review: Before proceeding with the posting, review the transaction details to confirm that posting in group currency is appropriate for the specific case.
- Consult with Finance Team: If there is uncertainty about the correct currency to use, consult with the finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with internal policies and reporting requirements.
