• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WH018 - Currency & differs from local currency & ?

  The SAP error message WH018 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the currency of the document you are trying to process and the local currency defined in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of inventory management, warehouse management, or financial transactions where currency conversion is involved.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Mismatch: The currency of the transaction (e.g., the currency of the purchase order, invoice, or goods movement) does not match the local currency set in the system for the relevant company code or plant.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be properly configured to handle multiple currencies, or the currency settings for the relevant master data (like vendor, customer, or material) may not be aligned.
  Exchange Rate Issues: There may be missing or incorrect exchange rate entries in the system, which can lead to discrepancies when converting between currencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Currency: Verify the currency of the document you are trying to process. Ensure that it matches the local currency defined for the company code or plant.
  Review Master Data: Check the master data for the relevant vendor, customer, or material to ensure that the currency settings are correct and consistent.
  Update Exchange Rates: If applicable, ensure that the exchange rates are correctly maintained in the system. You can do this by navigating to the transaction for maintaining exchange rates (e.g., OB08).
  Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that the currency settings for the company code and other relevant entities are correctly set up.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling currency-related issues in your version of SAP.
