  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SEPM_BO_COMMON305 - Purchase order has a different currency code ?

    The SAP error message SEPM_BO_COMMON305 indicates that there is a currency mismatch between the purchase order and the transaction you are trying to perform. This typically occurs when the currency of the purchase order does not match the currency of the document or transaction you are working with, such as an invoice or a goods receipt.

    Cause:

    1. Currency Mismatch: The purchase order is created in one currency (e.g., USD), while the transaction you are trying to execute is in another currency (e.g., EUR).
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that do not allow transactions in different currencies.
    3. Master Data Issues: The vendor or material master data may have a different currency set up than what is being used in the purchase order.

    Solution:

    1. Check Currency Settings: Verify the currency settings in the purchase order and the transaction. Ensure that both are using the same currency.
    2. Adjust the Transaction: If possible, change the currency of the transaction to match the currency of the purchase order.
    3. Create a New Purchase Order: If the mismatch cannot be resolved, consider creating a new purchase order in the correct currency.
