How To Fix V1746 - Item &1 has already been billed. Header exch. rate copied

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: V1 - Verkaufsbelegbearbeitung

• Message number: 746

• Message text: Item &1 has already been billed. Header exch. rate copied

What causes this issue?

You have changed the currency at header level, whereby the system has
determined that quantities have already been billed for the &V1& items.
&NOTE&
When you change the currency, the exchange rate is copied into all the
items regardless of whether these have been billed or not.
This also means that the data in the Sales Information System (for
example, the incoming order data) is changed. If you do not want this
to happen, you must change the data for the billed items manually, back
to their original values.
