• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLPL713 - Ledger does not allow a second currency ?

  The SAP error message GLPL713 indicates that the ledger you are trying to use does not allow a second currency. This typically occurs in the context of financial postings where a second currency is expected, but the configuration of the ledger does not support it.
  Cause:
  
  Ledger Configuration: The ledger in question is configured to only allow a single currency. This is often the case for ledgers that are set up for specific purposes, such as local reporting or compliance, where only the local currency is needed.
  Posting Settings: The posting you are attempting may require a second currency (for example, if you are trying to post in a foreign currency), but the ledger does not support this.
  Company Code Settings: The company code settings may also restrict the use of multiple currencies in certain ledgers.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Ledger Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the ledger in question (Transaction Code: OB22 for ledgers).
  Verify if the ledger is set to allow a second currency. If it is not, you may need to create a new ledger that supports multiple currencies or modify the existing one if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Company Code Settings:
  
  Check the company code settings (Transaction Code: OBY6) to ensure that the currency settings allow for a second currency.
  Ensure that the company code is set up to handle multiple currencies if that is required for your business processes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Posting:
  
  If the ledger does not support a second currency, consider adjusting your posting to use the local currency only, if that is acceptable for your transaction.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Finance team to understand the implications of changing ledger settings, as this may affect reporting and compliance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, perform a test posting to ensure that the error is resolved and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB22 (for ledger configuration) and OBY6 (for company code currency settings).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to the GLPL713 error.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to ledger configurations or company code settings.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
