  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KM427 - Profile &: each valuation method can only be stored in one currency ?

    The SAP error message KM427 ("Profile &: each valuation method can only be stored in one currency") typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) or Material Ledger (ML) when there is an inconsistency in the currency settings for valuation methods. This error indicates that the system has detected multiple currencies assigned to a single valuation method, which is not allowed.

    Cause:

    1. Multiple Currencies Assigned: The valuation method in question has been assigned multiple currencies, which violates the requirement that each valuation method can only be associated with one currency.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the settings for the valuation method or the currency settings in the relevant configuration areas.
    3. Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there have been changes in the configuration, it may lead to inconsistencies in currency assignments.

    Solution:

    1. Check Valuation Method Configuration:

      • Go to the configuration settings for the valuation method in question (Transaction code: OAYZ for Asset Accounting or OML2 for Material Ledger).
      • Ensure that each valuation method is assigned only one currency. If multiple currencies are assigned, remove the unnecessary ones.

      • Check the currency settings in the relevant areas (e.g., company code settings, controlling area settings) to ensure they are consistent with the valuation methods.
      • Ensure that the currency settings for the company code and controlling area are correctly defined.
    3. Data Consistency Check:

      • Run consistency checks to identify any inconsistencies in the data related to the valuation methods and currencies.
      • Use transaction codes like OABN (for Asset Accounting) to perform a consistency check.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific valuation method and currency settings for further guidance.
