    Differences between the receiver and sender ledgers were found in the
    second, third or fourth currency.
    The receiver combination of global company/ledger &v1& that you defined
    in Customizing uses currency &v2&, but the sender combination global
    company/ledger &v3& uses currency &v4&.

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

    System Response

    Rollup:
    During rollup, all amount fields of the relevant currency group (HSL,
    KSL, OSL) are in this case set to amount 0 in the rollup ledger unless,
    in the rollup definition under "Extras -> Different Currencies" you set
    the indicator "Do not initialize currency fields".

    How to fix this error?

    Rollup:
    If you activated the "Do not initialize currency fields" indicator, and
    you have differences in your second, third or fourth currencies, you
    can use a user exit to enter the correct amount in the corresponding
    amount fields (HSL, KSL, OSL). For example, you can use a user exit to
    have the system calculate correct group currency amounts from the local
    currency amounts.
    Copying planning templates:
    Change your entries.
    &NOTE&
    If you do not use a user exit to calculate amounts in a third currency,
    you can calculate these amounts later with the currency translation
    program.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GL336 - Glob.company/ledger & uses currency &, but glob.company/ledger & uses & ?

    The SAP error message GL336 indicates a mismatch between the currency settings of a global company code and the ledger being used. Specifically, it suggests that the global company code and ledger are configured to use different currencies, which is causing the error.

    Cause:

    1. Currency Mismatch: The global company code is set to use one currency (e.g., local currency), while the ledger is configured to use a different currency (e.g., group currency or a different local currency).
    2. Configuration Issues: This can occur due to incorrect configuration in the Financial Accounting (FI) module, particularly in the settings for ledgers and company codes.
    3. Data Entry Errors: Sometimes, this error can arise from incorrect data entry when creating or modifying company codes or ledgers.

    Solution:

    1. Check Configuration:

      • Go to the configuration settings for the company code and ledger in SAP.
      • Ensure that the currency settings for both the global company code and the ledger match. You can check this in the following paths:
        • For Company Code: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > G/L Account > Prepare G/L Account Creation > Define Company Code
        • For Ledger: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > G/L Account > Prepare G/L Account Creation > Define Ledger
    2. Adjust Currency Settings:

      • If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust the currency settings for either the company code or the ledger to ensure they are consistent.
      • If you need to change the currency of a company code or ledger, be cautious as this may have implications for existing transactions.
    3. Review Transaction Data:

      • If the error occurs during a specific transaction, review the transaction data to ensure that the correct company code and ledger are being used.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on configuring currencies in company codes and ledgers.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that transactions can be processed correctly.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like OBY6 (for company code settings) and OB22 (for ledger settings) to access the relevant configuration screens.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
    • User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to company code and ledger settings.
