How To Fix GLT0005 - Curr. key &1 for curr. type &2 in item &3 cannot be identified uniquely

GLT0005 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GLT0 - Split processor

• Message number: 005

• Message text: Curr. key &1 for curr. type &2 in item &3 cannot be identified uniquely

What causes this issue?

The errors occurs in an additional function for document splitting that
splits special processes (such as invoice reductions or security
retention amounts) independently of rules defined in Customizing. With
this function, the relevant rows are split using the base amounts that
the sending application delivers explicitly. There is the option of
transferring base amounts in multiple parallel currencies. In such
cases, a currency type is added to the base amount and the currency key
when each base row is posted.
For items to be split consistently, the currency key for each currency
type must be the same for all base rows.
Example:
Row Currency Type Base Amount Currency Key Base
1 00 100 EUR
X
1 10 150 USD
X
2 00 200 INR
X
2 10 300 USD
X

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

In this example, the currency key for currency type 00 is not uniquely
identifiable because EUR is used in the first base row and INR is used
in the second row.

System Response

The relevant row cannot be split, and it might not be possible to post
the document in some circumstances.

How to fix this error?

It is necessary to check the transfer of the base amounts in the sending
application. For a more detailed analysis, address a support message to
SAP.
