Specifically, the error states that the header currency (denoted as &1) and the currency code of the item (denoted as &2) for item &3 should be equal.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Currency Mismatch: The currency defined at the header level of the purchasing document does not match the currency defined for one or more line items.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the currency settings for the purchasing document type or the material master.
  Manual Entry Errors: Users may have manually entered different currencies for the header and item levels.
  
  Solution:

  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the purchasing document type in the SAP customizing (transaction SPRO).
