  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP376 - Enter different currencies ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WXP376 - Enter different currencies


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you are trying to enter or post a document in SAP where the currency fields involved are the same, but the system expects different currencies. Typically, this happens in scenarios involving currency conversion, exchange rate differences, or when the system requires a transaction to involve two different currencies (e.g., local currency and foreign currency).

    For example, in financial postings, if you enter the same currency in both the document currency and the local currency fields where the system expects them to differ, SAP will trigger this error.


    When does it occur?

    • During document entry in Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO) modules.
    • When posting foreign currency transactions.
    • When entering exchange rate differences or currency translation postings.
    • In payment transactions where currency conversion is expected.
    • In asset accounting or vendor/customer invoice postings involving multiple currencies.

    Solution:

    1. Check Currency Fields:

      • Verify the currency entered in the document currency field and the local currency field.
      • Ensure that the currencies are different if the transaction requires it (e.g., document currency = USD, local currency = EUR).
    2. Correct Currency Entry:

      • If you mistakenly entered the same currency in both fields, change one to the appropriate currency.
      • For foreign currency transactions, ensure the document currency is the foreign currency and the local currency is your company code currency.
    3. Exchange Rate Maintenance:

      • Check if the exchange rates are maintained correctly in transaction OB08.
      • If exchange rates are missing or incorrect, update them accordingly.
    4. Transaction Type and Configuration:

      • Review the transaction type or posting key configuration to ensure it supports the currency combination you are trying to post.
      • Sometimes, customizing in IMG (Implementation Guide) under Financial Accounting settings might restrict certain currency combinations.
    5. Check Master Data:

      • Verify the currency settings in master data (e.g., vendor, customer, asset master) to ensure consistency.

    Additional Information:

    • Message Class: WXP
    • Message Number: 376
    • This message is a warning or error depending on the transaction context.
    • The error helps prevent postings that do not make sense from a currency perspective and ensures proper currency handling in financial documents.

    Example:

    If your company code currency is EUR and you are posting a vendor invoice in EUR, but the system expects a foreign currency (e.g., USD) for the document currency, entering EUR in both fields will trigger WXP376.


    If you continue to face issues, consider checking SAP Notes related to currency postings or consult your SAP FI consultant for detailed analysis based on your system configuration.
