  Error Message
  WRMA_FI016:
  
  The transferred currency, &1, differs from company code currency &2.
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a financial document or transaction is posted in a currency that does not match the currency defined for the company code in SAP. Specifically, the currency used in the transaction (e.g., document currency or transferred currency) is different from the company code currency set in the system.
  
  The company code currency is the local currency in which the company code operates and reports.
  The transaction currency must either be the same as the company code currency or properly handled via currency conversion settings.
  This error often arises during postings in FI (Financial Accounting), such as invoice postings, payments, or asset postings, where currency consistency is mandatory.
  
  
  Common Scenarios Leading to the Error
  
  Posting a document in a foreign currency without proper exchange rate or currency settings.
  Incorrect configuration of company code currency in transaction code OB22 or OBY6.
  Data transfer or interface posting where currency fields are mismatched.
  Manual entry of currency that does not match company code currency without proper currency conversion.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Company Code Currency:
  
  Use transaction OB22 or OBY6 to verify the company code currency.
  Ensure the currency in the transaction matches this currency or is properly converted.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Currency:
  
  Check the currency entered in the document.
  If the transaction is supposed to be in a foreign currency, ensure that the company code allows foreign currency postings and that exchange rates are maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Exchange Rates:
  
  Use transaction OB08 to maintain exchange rates if foreign currency postings are required.
  
  
  
  Adjust Posting or Configuration:
  
  If the transaction must be posted in the company code currency, change the currency in the document to match.
  If foreign currency postings are needed, configure the company code to allow foreign currency postings.
  
  
  
  Check Interface or Data Transfer Programs:
  
  If the error occurs during data transfer (e.g., IDoc, BAPI), verify that the currency fields are correctly mapped and consistent.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes may address currency-related posting issues for your SAP version.
