  Cause:
  
  
  Currency Mismatch: The error occurs when the currency used in a transaction (transferred currency) does not match the expected currency (risk currency) for the specified entity. This can happen if:
  
  The transaction is being processed in a currency that is not configured for the entity.
  There is a configuration issue in the currency settings for the entity in question.
  The data being processed has been incorrectly entered or imported.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The entity may not have the correct currency settings in the system, leading to discrepancies when transactions are processed.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors or incorrect data imports can lead to mismatched currencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Currency Configuration:
  
  Verify the currency settings for the entity in question. Ensure that the risk currency is correctly defined and that the transferred currency is allowed for transactions related to that entity.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP (e.g., in the customizing transaction SPRO) and check the currency settings for the entity.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data:
  
  Inspect the transaction data that triggered the error. Ensure that the transferred currency matches the risk currency defined for the entity.

  Adjust Transaction:
