How To Fix TPM_TRG219 - Currency category &1 is not supported

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TPM_TRG - Treasury Position Management: Cross-Package Messages

• Message number: 219

• Message text: Currency category &1 is not supported

What causes this issue?

You have opted to post to FI for this valuation area. The currency
category assigned is not the company code currency (10). This is
only supported in the standard system if the posting is made to a
special purpose ledger or ledger group (SL), since a special purpose
ledger can be set up to use only one currency category.
It is not possible to define a ledger with only one currency category
that is different from the company code currency in new General Ledger
Accounting. A ledger/view of <LS>General Ledger Accounting (New)</>
always uses all defined currency categories (including the company code
currency). With the standard settings, <LS>Treasury and Risk
Management</> (TRM) postings supply only one currency category. New
General Ledger Accounting calculates the missing amounts in the other
currency categories (for example, the amounts in company code currency).
This calculation could lead to contradictory/unexpected amounts. That is
the reason why the option to post to FI using another currency category
other than the company code currency is deactivated by default.
In some situations, however, it might be necessary to make postings in
another currency category other than the company code currency, even if
FI will fill the amounts in the additional currency categories.
Example: Two accounting principles
LOCL for the local GAAP balance sheet with currency BRL (BRL is the
company code currency)
GAAP for the US GAAP balance sheet (on group level) with currency USD
(USD is group currency)
To implement this scenario, two valuation areas are set up:
Valuation area 001
Valuation currency: BRL
Accounting principle: LOCL
Currency category: company code currency
Valuation area 002
Valuation currency: USD
Accounting principle: GAAP
Currency category: group currency
Both valuation areas post to FI but to different ledgers/views. TRM
generates postings for the accounting principle LOCL in the company code
currency. Although new General Ledger Accounting will determine an
amount in the group currency even in accounting principle LOCL, the
balance sheet only requires amounts in the company code currency. The
amount in the group currency can be ignored.
TRM generates additional postings for the accounting principle GAAP in
the group currency. Since no amount is supplied for these postings in
the company code currency, new General Ledger Accounting determines the
amount in the company code currency. However, only the amount in the
group currency (USD) is relevant for the balance sheet on group level
(accounting principle GAAP). The amount in company code currency for
accounting principle GAAP can be ignored.
If, after reading the above information regarding system behavior, you
would like to use this function, you can change this error message into
a warning message. This will allow a different currency category to be
used other than the company code currency, even if new General Ledger
Accounting is activated.
Ensure that you use different accounting principles for the different
currencies (currency types and valuation areas). Furthermore, different
ledgers/views should be assigned to the accounting principles.

How to fix this error?

Correct either the currency category or the accounting principle.
To enable FI postings with a different currency category to new General
Ledger Accounting, you can change error message 219 of application area
TPM_TRG into a warning message in the following Customizing activity:
<LS>Transaction Manager -> General Settings -> Tools -> Configurable
Messages -> <DS:TRAN.OBA5> Change Message Control</></>
