  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VEC02003 - Different currencies not allowed in the same formula. ?

    The SAP error message VEC02003, which states "Different currencies not allowed in the same formula," typically occurs in the context of SAP's pricing and condition techniques, particularly when dealing with pricing conditions in sales documents or purchase orders. This error indicates that there is an attempt to use multiple currencies in a calculation or formula where only a single currency is expected.

    Cause:

    1. Mixed Currencies: The most common cause of this error is that the formula or calculation is trying to combine values that are in different currencies. For example, if you have a condition that uses both USD and EUR in the same formula, SAP will throw this error.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of pricing conditions or the way the condition types are set up in the system.
    3. Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry in the pricing conditions or master data (like customer or vendor master records) can lead to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Currency Consistency: Ensure that all the values being used in the formula are in the same currency. You may need to convert currencies or adjust the pricing conditions to ensure consistency.
    2. Review Condition Types: Check the configuration of the condition types involved in the formula. Make sure that they are set up to handle the same currency.
    3. Adjust Master Data: Verify the master data for customers, vendors, and materials to ensure that the currency settings are consistent and correct.
    4. Use Currency Conversion: If necessary, implement currency conversion logic in your pricing conditions to ensure that all values are converted to a common currency before being used in calculations.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance on the condition types and formulas you are using.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling currency issues in pricing.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to pricing conditions (e.g., VK11, VK12 for condition maintenance) to review and adjust the conditions as needed.
    • Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the error is resolved and that the pricing calculations are functioning as expected.

    If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP pricing and condition techniques for further assistance.
