What causes this issue?

currency.

only post in group currency (and no other currency). There is one
exception: This restriction does not apply if you have activated <ZK>
Goodwill in Local Currency</> in the customizing settings for the
consolidation area.

Either go to the customizing settings for document types and check which
currencies are assigned to document type &V2&, or select a different
