• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF_PRC_API005 - Document currency &1 on item differs from document currency &2. ?

  The SAP error message:
  VF_PRC_API005: Document currency &1 on item differs from document currency &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during billing document processing (e.g., in transaction VF01, VF04, or when using billing APIs) when the currency assigned to an individual billing document item does not match the currency assigned to the overall billing document header.
  In SAP SD billing documents, the document currency at the header level must be consistent with the currency assigned to each item. If there is a mismatch, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistent currency postings.
  Typical scenarios causing this error:
  
  The sales order or delivery items have a different currency than the billing document header.
  Manual changes or custom code that incorrectly sets item currency.
  Inconsistent currency determination in the pricing procedure or during data transfer from preceding documents.
  Currency conversion or exchange rate issues during billing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Currency Consistency:
  
  Verify the currency at the billing document header (VBRK-WAERK).
  Verify the currency at the billing document item level (VBRP-WAERK).
  Both should be the same.
  
  
  
  Check Preceding Documents:
  
  Check the sales order (VA03) and delivery (VL03N) currencies.
  Ensure that the sales order and delivery items have the same currency as the billing document header.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing and Copying Control:
  
  Check the pricing procedure and currency determination.
  Review the copying control settings (transaction VTFL for delivery to billing, VTFA for order to billing) to ensure currency fields are correctly mapped.
  
  
  
  Correct Data or Recreate Document:
  
  If the billing document is created via API or custom program, ensure the currency fields are correctly populated.
  If the document is inconsistent, consider canceling and recreating the billing document after correcting the source documents.
  
  
  
  Check for User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Review any custom code that might modify currency fields during billing document creation.
  
  
  
  Currency Conversion:
  
  If currency conversion is required, ensure it is done properly before billing document creation.
