    Differences between the receiver and sender ledgers were found in the

    The receiver combination of global company/ledger &v1& that you defined
    in Customizing uses currency &v2&, but the sender combination of global
    company/ledger &v3& uses currency &v4&.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    System Response

    Rollup:
    During rollup, all amount fields of the relevant currency group (HSL,
    KSL, OSL) are in this case set to amount 0 in the rollup ledger unless,
    in the rollup definition under "Extras -> Different Currencies" you set
    the indicator "Do not initialize currency fields".
    Copying planning templates:
    Planning data cannot be copied.

    How to fix this error?

    Rollup:
    If you activated the "Do not initialize currency fields" indicator, and
    differences exist in your second, third or fourth currencies, you can
    use a user exit to enter the correct amount in the corresponding amount
    fields (HSL, KSL, OSL). For example, you can use a user exit to have
    the system calculate correct group currency amounts from the local
    currency amounts.
    Copying planning templates:
    Change your entries.
    &NOTE&
    If you do not use a user exit to calculate amounts in a third currency,
    you can calculate these amounts later with the currency translation
    program.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
