  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VEC02004 - Formulas and tolerance have different currencies. ?

    The SAP error message VEC02004 indicates that there is a mismatch in currencies between the formulas and tolerances defined in the system. This typically occurs in the context of pricing, cost calculations, or financial reporting where different components are expected to be in the same currency but are not.

    Cause:

    1. Currency Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the formulas used for calculations (like pricing or cost) are defined in one currency, while the tolerances (the acceptable limits for those calculations) are defined in another currency.
    2. Master Data Issues: The master data for materials, vendors, or customers may have different currency settings, leading to inconsistencies.
    3. Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system for pricing or financial calculations may not be aligned, causing discrepancies in currency definitions.

    Solution:

    1. Check Currency Settings: Review the currency settings for the relevant master data (materials, vendors, customers) to ensure they are consistent. Make sure that all related entries are in the same currency.
    2. Review Formulas and Tolerances: Go to the configuration settings where the formulas and tolerances are defined. Ensure that both are set to the same currency. This may involve adjusting the settings in the pricing procedure or tolerance limits.
    3. Adjust Master Data: If the master data is causing the issue, you may need to update the currency settings for the affected materials or vendors.
    4. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to adjust the formulas and tolerances in your version of SAP.
    5. Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that calculations are functioning as expected.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like VK11 (Create Condition) or VK12 (Change Condition) to review and adjust pricing conditions.
    • Configuration Path: The configuration for pricing and tolerances can typically be found under the following path in the SAP IMG:
      • Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Pricing Procedures.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP configuration and pricing.
