  Price list and document currency fields: either both empty or populated
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when there is an inconsistency between the Price List Currency and the Document Currency fields in a sales or purchasing document. Specifically:
  
  Both fields should either be empty or filled.
  If one field is filled and the other is empty, the system raises this warning.
  
  This typically happens during document entry or pricing procedures where the currency fields are not aligned properly.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Price List Currency: The currency in which the price list is maintained.
  Document Currency: The currency in which the sales or purchasing document is created.
  
  For correct pricing and currency conversion, these two fields must be consistent:
  
  If you specify a price list currency, the document currency must also be specified.
  If no price list currency is specified, the document currency should also be left empty.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Document Currency Field:
  
  Ensure that the document currency is entered if the price list currency is specified.
  If the price list currency is empty, leave the document currency empty as well.
  
  
  
  Check the Price List Currency:
  
  Verify the price list currency in the pricing procedure or condition records.
  Make sure it is consistent with the document currency.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Data Entry:
  
  When creating or changing the document, enter both currencies or none.
  Avoid mixing empty and populated fields for these currencies.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure and Condition Records:
  
  Sometimes, the condition records or pricing procedures might have currency fields that cause this inconsistency.
  Adjust or maintain condition records properly in transaction VK11/VK12 or relevant pricing transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If this issue persists, check the configuration in SPRO under Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control.
  Ensure currency settings are consistent.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This is a warning message (W0033), so it does not stop document processing but indicates a potential data inconsistency.
  Ignoring this warning might lead to incorrect pricing or currency conversion issues.
  Always ensure currency fields are consistent to avoid downstream issues in billing, accounting, or reporting.
