• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCURMAINT105 - Both currency keys are identical ?

  The SAP error message SCURMAINT105, which states "Both currency keys are identical," typically occurs when you are trying to create or maintain a currency conversion or a currency type in the SAP system, and the source and target currency keys you are using are the same. This situation is not valid because a currency conversion requires two distinct currencies.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You attempt to set up a currency conversion where the source currency and target currency are the same (e.g., converting from USD to USD).
  You may be trying to maintain a currency type or configuration that inadvertently uses the same currency key for both the source and target.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check Currency Keys: Review the currency keys you are using in the transaction or configuration. Ensure that the source currency and target currency are different.
  Correct the Configuration: If you are maintaining a currency conversion, ensure that you are selecting two distinct currencies. For example, if you are converting from USD, the target currency should be something other than USD (e.g., EUR, GBP, etc.).
  Review Transaction: If you are using a specific transaction code (like OB22 for currency conversion), double-check the entries you are making to ensure they are correct.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct currencies to use, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant for guidance on currency settings.
