3673351 - Error When Creating a New Journal Entry Voucher Due To Currency Mismatch

Symptom

  • Error occurs when attempting to create a new journal entry voucher for write-up/down.
  • Error message displayed: "Entry currency 123 should be the same as local currency XYZ of set of books ABC. Please check for incorrect add-on implementation."
  • Error message displayed: "Entry currency 123 should be the same as local currency XYZ of set of books DEF. Please check for incorrect add-on implementation."

(123 represents the currency)

(XYZ represents the local currency)

(ABC represents the set of books ID)

(DEF represents the another set of books ID)

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the General Ledger Work Center.
  2. Access the Journal Entry Vouchers subview.
  3. Click on the "New" button and select Journal Entry Voucher.
  4. Fill with the required parameters.
  5. Attempt to post or simulate the journal entry voucher.
  6. Observe the error messages:
  • "Entry currency 123 should be the same as local currency XYZ of set of books ABC. Please check for incorrect add-on implementation."
  • "Entry currency 123 should be the same as local currency XYZ of set of books DEF. Please check for incorrect add-on implementation."

The same behavior is observed for one more combination of Journal Entry Type and Screen Variant:

Journal Entry Type: 00085 - Manual Entry for Accounts Receivable

Screen Variant: 628 - Manual Write-Up/Write-Down Accounts Rec

Cause

The new journal entry voucher for write-up/down is being created without specifying a set of books parameter. Since the sets of books have different currencies compared to the company they are assigned to, the system raises an error message.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, please follow the steps below:

  1. Create a new journal entry voucher separately for each set of books if there is a currency difference.
  2. Ensure that the journal entry voucher is created with the correct set of books parameter to avoid currency mismatch errors.
