  The SAP error message GPSC041 indicates that there is a mismatch in the currency types between the sender and target Profit Center (PC) or Profit Center Accounting (PCA) documents. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform a transaction that involves transferring or posting amounts between profit centers that are denominated in different currencies.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Mismatch: The sender profit center is set up with one currency type (e.g., USD), while the target profit center is set up with a different currency type (e.g., EUR).
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the profit centers may not align, leading to inconsistencies in currency types.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entries or data uploads may have inadvertently introduced inconsistencies in currency settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Profit Center Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code KE52 (Change Profit Center) or KE51 (Create Profit Center) and verify the currency settings for both the sender and target profit centers.
  Ensure that both profit centers are configured to use the same currency type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transaction Data:
  
  If the transaction involves manual entries, ensure that the amounts are entered in the correct currency and that both profit centers are using the same currency.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the controlling area to ensure that the currency settings are consistent across all profit centers.
  Use transaction code OKKP to review the controlling area settings.
  
  
  
  Currency Conversion:
  
  If necessary, consider converting the amounts to a common currency before posting the transaction. This may involve using exchange rates if the business process allows for it.
