  • What causes this issue?

    In cross-company code cost accounting (see
    <GL:assignment_control>assignment control</>) you can maintain the
    fields "Currency" and "Chart of accounts" directly as long as no company
    code assignments exist.
    If assignments exist, two different situations can occur:
    Basic data maintenance
    The SAP system checks whether currency and chart of accounts match for
    the assigned company codes. If so, the field contents are set in the
    same fields of the controlling area.
    You receive an error message if the entries do not match.
    Maintaining the assignment
    Here, currency and chart of accounts are maintained for the basic data.
    If you delete all company code assignments (if allowed) and assign a new
    company code, the currency and chart of accounts of the new company code
    are transferred.
