• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/PRTPURDOC035 - The currency should be the same on every item of a document ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/PRTPURDOC035 indicates that there is a currency mismatch among the items in a purchasing document. This error typically occurs in the context of supply chain management and procurement processes where multiple items are being processed in a single document, such as a purchase order or a purchase requisition.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the items in the document are assigned different currencies. In SAP, all items in a purchasing document must have the same currency to ensure consistency in pricing and financial reporting. This can happen if:
  
  Different items are sourced from vendors that operate in different currencies.
  Manual entry errors where the currency for some items is incorrectly specified.
  Data import or migration issues where currency information is not aligned.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Currency Settings: Review the currency settings for each item in the document. Ensure that all items are set to the same currency.
  
  
  Edit the Document: If you find that some items have different currencies, you will need to edit the purchasing document:
  
  Open the document in the relevant transaction (e.g., ME21N for purchase orders).
  Change the currency of the items to match the currency of the other items in the document.
  
  
  
  Create Separate Documents: If the items must be in different currencies (e.g., if they are from different vendors with different currency requirements), consider creating separate purchasing documents for each currency.
  
  
  Review Vendor Master Data: Ensure that the vendor master data is correctly set up with the appropriate currency. If a vendor operates in a specific currency, all transactions related to that vendor should reflect that currency.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the currency settings or how to edit the document, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME21N (Create Purchase Order), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), and ME23N (Display Purchase Order).
  Currency Configuration: Understand how currency is configured in your SAP system, including the use of different currency types (e.g., document currency, local currency).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address specific issues.
  
  By ensuring that all items in a purchasing document share the same currency, you can avoid this error and facilitate smoother procurement processes in SAP.
