Message text: Local currency field must use currency type &1 in Ledger &3 / CoCode &4



What causes this issue?

If a valuation is assigned to a ledger, then the currency type of the
local currency field (HSL) must contain accordingly the currency and
valuation type for local currency in that valuation (10, 11 or 12).
If no valuation is assigned to the ledger then local currency in legal
valuation (10) must be used for the local currency field (HSL).

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



System Response

Currency and valuation type &V2& cannot be used in ledger &V3& and
Company Code &V4&.


How to fix this error?

Try the following procedure to correct the local currency type:
In the IMG activity <DS:SIMG.FINSVC_LEDGER> Define Settings for Ledgers
and Currency Types</> in section <ls>Company Code Settings for the
Ledger</> delete the company code &V4& from the ledger &V3&. Save your
changes.
Start the IMG activity anew and assign the company code &V4& again to
ledger &V3&.
Afterwards the local currency type should have the correct value.
