• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W5099 - The BAPI_REQUIREMENT_CREATE can only create the PReq in local currency & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W5099 – The BAPI_REQUIREMENT_CREATE can only create the PReq in local currency &
  
  Cause:
  The warning message W5099 occurs when you attempt to create a Purchase Requisition (PReq) using the BAPI BAPI_REQUIREMENT_CREATE with a currency other than the local currency of the plant or company code. The standard BAPI BAPI_REQUIREMENT_CREATE is designed to create purchase requisitions only in the local currency of the plant/company code. If you pass a different currency, the system raises this warning.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The BAPI BAPI_REQUIREMENT_CREATE does not support creating purchase requisitions in foreign currencies.
  The purchase requisition must be created in the local currency defined in the material master or plant/company code settings.
  This is a standard limitation in many SAP BAPIs related to purchasing documents.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use Local Currency:
  
  Ensure that the currency you pass to the BAPI is the local currency of the plant or company code. You can check the local currency in:
  
  Company Code (transaction OB22 or OB08 for currency settings)
  Plant settings or material master data
  
  
  
  Currency Conversion:
  
  If you have a requirement to create purchase requisitions in foreign currency, you need to:
  
  Convert the foreign currency amount to the local currency before calling the BAPI.
  Pass the converted amount and the local currency code to the BAPI.
  
  
  
  Alternative Approaches:  
  
  If your business process requires purchase requisitions in foreign currency, consider using other methods or custom developments.
  Some customers implement custom BAPIs or enhancements to handle foreign currency scenarios.
  Alternatively, create the PReq in local currency and handle currency differences in subsequent purchasing documents (e.g., Purchase Orders).
