  The SAP error message IDGT_LC175 indicates that there is a mismatch in the exchange rates between a red-letter invoice (credit memo) and a positive invoice (debit memo or original invoice) in the system. This error typically arises in scenarios involving foreign currency transactions where the exchange rates used for the two invoices do not match.
  Cause:
  
  Different Exchange Rates: The most common cause of this error is that the exchange rate used for the red-letter invoice is different from the exchange rate used for the original invoice. This can happen if the invoices were created on different dates or if the exchange rate was updated in the system between the creation of the two invoices.
  Currency Settings: There may be issues with the currency settings in the configuration of the company code or the specific transaction.
  Manual Entry Errors: If the exchange rates were entered manually, there could be discrepancies due to human error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Exchange Rates: Verify the exchange rates used for both the original invoice and the red-letter invoice. You can do this by checking the transaction details in SAP.
  
  Use transaction code OB08 to view and maintain exchange rates.
  Ensure that the exchange rates for the relevant currencies are the same for both invoices.
  
  
  
  Adjust Invoices: If the exchange rates are indeed different, you may need to adjust one of the invoices to ensure they match. This could involve:
  
  Changing the exchange rate on the red-letter invoice to match the original invoice.
  If the original invoice is still open, consider adjusting it to match the red-letter invoice's exchange rate.
  
  
  
  Recreate Invoices: If adjustments are not feasible, you may need to reverse the invoices and recreate them with the correct exchange rates.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your version of SAP and the configuration of your system.
