  Error Message
  WS244: Different currency key exists for input data &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to post or process a document in SAP where the currency key (currency code) for a particular item or line does not match the currency key already stored or expected in the system for that reference (such as a vendor, customer, or material master record).
  In other words, the system detects that the currency you are trying to use in the transaction differs from the currency that is already assigned or maintained for the relevant master data or previous document line.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Posting an invoice or payment with a currency different from the vendor or customer master record currency.
  Entering a line item with a currency that conflicts with the currency of the header or other line items.
  Currency mismatch in material valuation or purchasing documents.
  Attempting to change currency in a document where currency is fixed.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Currency in Master Data:
  
  Verify the currency assigned to the vendor or customer master record.
  Use transaction codes like XK03 (Vendor Display) or FD03 (Customer Display) to check the currency.
  If the currency in the master data is different from the currency you want to post, you need to either:
  
  Use the currency assigned in the master data.
  Or, if appropriate, update the master data currency (note: changing currency in master data can have significant implications and should be done carefully).
  
  
  
  
  
  Check the Document Currency:
  
  Review the currency entered in the document header and line items.
  Ensure all line items use the same currency key.
  
  
  
  Check Reference Documents:
  
  If you are referencing a previous document (e.g., invoice referencing a purchase order), ensure the currency matches.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Currency Key:
  
  If the currency key is incorrect in the input data, correct it to match the master data or the expected currency.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  In some cases, currency determination or allowed currencies are controlled via configuration in IMG (Implementation Guide).
  Check if currency settings in the relevant module (FI, MM, SD) are consistent.
  
  
  
  If Multi-Currency is Required:
  
  Ensure that the system and master data are set up to handle multiple currencies.
  Use appropriate exchange rates and currency conversion settings.
