• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS680 - Payment currency &1 is not SEPA-relevant; mandate reference is deleted ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS680 Payment currency &1 is not SEPA-relevant; mandate reference is deleted
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of SEPA direct debit payments in SAP. The system checks whether the payment currency is valid for SEPA transactions. SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) mandates are only valid for certain currencies, primarily the Euro (EUR).
  
  The error indicates that the payment currency used in the transaction is not SEPA-relevant (i.e., it is not a currency supported for SEPA direct debit processing).
  Because the currency is not SEPA-relevant, the system deletes the mandate reference associated with the direct debit.
  This typically happens if you try to process a SEPA direct debit in a currency other than EUR or other SEPA-approved currencies.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  SEPA direct debit mandates are only valid for payments in SEPA currencies.
  If the payment currency is outside the SEPA currency list, the mandate reference cannot be used.
  SAP enforces this to comply with SEPA regulations and to avoid invalid direct debit transactions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Payment Currency:
  
  Verify the currency of the payment document.
  Ensure that the currency is SEPA-relevant (usually EUR).
  
  
  
  Adjust the Currency:
  
  If the payment currency is incorrect, correct it to EUR or another SEPA-approved currency.
  This might involve changing the currency in the vendor master data, payment run parameters, or the invoice document.
  
  
  
  Review Mandate Setup:
  
  Confirm that the mandate reference is correctly maintained and valid for the currency.
  Mandates are only valid for SEPA currencies.
  
  
  
  If Non-SEPA Currency is Required:
  
  You cannot use SEPA direct debit mandates for non-SEPA currencies.
  Use alternative payment methods for non-SEPA currencies.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration in transaction OBPM1 (Payment Methods in Country) to ensure that the payment method and country settings align with SEPA requirements.
  Verify the currency settings in the payment method configuration.
