What causes this issue?

There are differences in the group currency values of totals records and
the corresponding documnets. In addition, one of the following
conditions is met:
Translation in group currency is set in the Customizing of the document
type. The document type posts in group currency and in at least one
other currency.
Translation in group currency is not set in the Customizing of the
document type. The document type does not post in group currency but in
local or transaction currency only. The totals records are filled with
values and the document records do not contain values in group currency.
This is typically caused when currency translation (which only processes
totals records) creates these values (during translation and/or
rounding). This is not an error.
