This error indicates that the system has detected inconsistencies in the exchange rates used for different line items within the same document.
  Cause:
  
  Different Exchange Rates: The most common cause of this error is that the line items in the document are using different exchange rates. In SAP, when posting a document that involves multiple currencies, all line items must use the same exchange rate for the transaction.
  Currency Conversion Settings: There may be issues with the currency conversion settings in the system, such as missing or incorrect exchange rate types.
  Manual Entry Errors: If users are manually entering exchange rates for different line items, they may inadvertently enter different rates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Exchange Rates: Review the exchange rates applied to each line item in the document. Ensure that they are consistent across all line items.
  Use the Same Rate: If you are entering the exchange rate manually, ensure that you use the same rate for all line items. If the rates are supposed to be different, consider splitting the document into multiple entries.
  Review Currency Settings: Check the currency settings in the document and ensure that the correct exchange rate type is being used. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  Update Exchange Rates: If the exchange rates are outdated or incorrect, update them in the system. This can usually be done through transaction codes like OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates).
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct exchange rate to use, consult your financial department or refer to the relevant financial documentation.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to currency management, such as OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates) and FB50 (General Ledger Account Document Entry).
  Exchange Rate Types: Understand the different exchange rate types (e.g., average rate, spot rate) and how they are configured in your SAP system.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error or provide additional guidance on handling exchange rates in financial documents.
  
  By ensuring that all line items in the document have the same exchange rate, you should be able to resolve the GLE_MCA214 error and proceed with your transaction.
