  Adjust Transaction: If the transaction can be adjusted to involve only one company code or to ensure that the currencies match, do so.
  
  
  Intercompany Settings: If the transaction is intercompany, ensure that the intercompany settings are correctly configured. This includes ensuring that the intercompany pricing and currency conversion settings are properly set up.
