  The SAP error message K8814, "You cannot use the transaction currency for recipe planning," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Product Costing module, particularly when dealing with recipe planning in the context of process industries. This error indicates that there is an issue with the currency settings in your recipe or material master data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Currency Settings: The error usually arises when the transaction currency (the currency in which the transaction is recorded) is not compatible with the currency settings required for recipe planning. This can happen if the recipe is set up to use a different currency than what is defined in the material master or the controlling area.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the controlling area or in the material master that do not align with the requirements for recipe planning.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: The material master or recipe may not have the correct currency settings, or there may be inconsistencies between the currency used in the recipe and the currency used in the cost estimates.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Verify the currency settings in the material master. Ensure that the currency used in the recipe matches the currency defined in the material master.
  
  
  Review Recipe Settings: Check the recipe settings to ensure that the currency is correctly defined. If necessary, update the recipe to use the correct currency.
  
  
  Controlling Area Configuration: Ensure that the controlling area is configured to support the currency used in the recipe. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to verify this.
  
  
  Costing Variant: Check the costing variant settings to ensure that they are compatible with the currency used in the recipe.
  
  
  Transaction Currency: If the transaction currency is not appropriate for recipe planning, consider changing it to a currency that is supported for this purpose.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on currency settings related to recipe planning.
