• Message number: 019

• Message text: The assigned rounding method cannot be used

What causes this issue?

A rounding method is assigned to currency translation method &V1&.
However, this rounding method cannot be used either because it was not
found in the database or because it is not of the type <ZK>Rounding</>.
This points to a serious inconsistency in the Customizing settings for
the currency translation method.

System Response

The system cannot perform rounding.

How to fix this error?

If the Customizing settings are transported into your system, you need
to check these settings in the relevant source system. The
inconsistency may have arisen because the assigned rounding method was
<ZH>not</> included in the transport. If this is the case, transport
currency translation method &V1& again.
Otherwise, assign the desired rounding method manually in the
Customizing settings for currency translation method &V1& and then save
your settings.
