This typically occurs in financial or controlling modules where different currencies are involved in calculations, and SAP requires that all currencies be consistent for the formula to be processed correctly.

  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the currency settings in the relevant SAP modules may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Currency Consistency: Ensure that all amounts involved in the formula are in the same currency. If they are not, you will need to convert them to a common currency.

  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the relevant modules (like Financial Accounting or Controlling) to ensure that currency settings are correctly defined.
