This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when the system expects a certain currency format for a key figure but finds a different one.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Mismatch: The key figure (e.g., sales amount) is defined in a specific currency, but the characteristic (e.g., currency type) does not match this definition.
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoObject settings for the key figure or characteristic may not be properly configured to handle currency conversions or relationships.
  Data Loading Issues: There may be issues with the data loading process that result in incorrect or inconsistent data being loaded into the InfoProvider.
  Query Design: The query may be designed in a way that does not properly align the key figures with their corresponding currency characteristics.

  Check Key Figure and Characteristic Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance and verify the settings for both the key figure and the currency-bearing characteristic.

  Data Consistency Check:
