Reproducing the Issue
1. You changed the use of currency types in Material Ledger, in transaction OMX2.
2. You create a new material with transaction MM01 and error message C+039 appears, or you post a goods
movement for the material.
Cause
Material Ledger is active already. The currencies that are currently set in the material ledger or currency types for the
valuation area deviate from those that exist at the Material Ledger production startup time. Please check the information
in SAP note 53947 (/sap/support/notes/53947).
Resolution
There is no possibility to change the currency type with the Material Ledger already active.
1. In ERP version, the currency in T000-MWAER must remain the SAME after the ML-startup program. If you change it
later you have inconsistent data. In the case of you are working with a test system, you must deactivate the ML, and
then you must run the startup program again with the currencies you want to work with. This is described in SAP
notes 108374 (/sap/support/notes/108374) and 425487 (/sap/support/notes/425487).
Take into account that the deactivation means: Running report SAPRCKMJX, and this report DELETES all
ML-data.
But in case of that the productive environment is affected, there is no way to add or delete currency settings after
you set Material Ledger productive. Therefore, you have to reverse the customizing changes, deactivate Material
Ledger, change the customizing to the desired values and restart Material Ledger, as explained above.
2. In S/4 HANA, with the implementation of the SAP note 2434515 (/sap/support/notes/2434515) (Version 2), it is not
possible to execute SAPRCKMJX, if corresponding ACDOCA entries already exist.
Please, check the SAP note 2512618 (/sap/support/notes/2512618) Error C+039 ML currencies are changed in CO.
There are possibilities here:
1. In case of development or test systems: If there already material ledger relevant postings in ACDOCA (=
there are BSX line items), it is posstible to deactivate productive start of the material ledger only after
implementing the note 2605071 - S/4HANA: Enable reset of Material Ledger and Actual Costing and carrying
out the solution steps as described in this note. It is important to emphasize that this is only possible in test
or development system.
2. In case of Production systems: Create a new plant with the new currency settings, carry out a Material
Ledger startup, upload inventory quantities and values and start to operate with the new plant. In case of
Production systems.
