• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RO221 - Payment program cannot combine all flows with currency &1 ?

  The SAP error message RO221, which states "Payment program cannot combine all flows with currency &1," typically occurs during the execution of the payment program (transaction F110) when there are issues related to currency handling in the payment proposal. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Currency Mismatch: The payment program is trying to combine payment items (invoices, credit memos, etc.) that have different currencies. SAP does not allow the combination of payment items in different currencies in a single payment run.
  
  
  Currency Settings: The configuration settings for the payment program may not allow for the processing of multiple currencies in a single run.
  
  
  Open Items: There may be open items in the accounts that are in different currencies, which cannot be processed together.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Separate Payment Runs: If you have open items in different currencies, you will need to run separate payment proposals for each currency. You can filter the payment run by currency in the selection criteria.
  
  
  Check Open Items: Review the open items in the accounts involved. Ensure that you are only selecting items that are in the same currency for a single payment run.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration of the payment program in transaction OBVCU (for payment methods) and ensure that the settings allow for the desired currency handling.
  
  
  Payment Method Settings: Ensure that the payment method you are using is correctly configured to handle the currencies involved. You can check this in transaction FBZP.
  
  
  Currency Conversion: If necessary, consider using currency conversion to convert amounts to a common currency before processing payments, but be aware that this may involve additional steps and considerations.
