“Trip currency *** must match currency ### of total amount”

[Former Member]

Hello T&E Experts,

We have the following scenario in T&E;

Scenario: This is related to the Amex upload (we are using the GL1025 file) for transactions happening in foreign currency. E.g. A Canadian employee travels to US and swipes his card, the Amex file captures all the details including the exchange rate to be used, when this file is uploaded
the transactions error out and we get the following message;

“Trip currency CAD must match currency USD of total amount”

We have all the currency related setting in place i.e. have maintained the exchange rate types for the combination and also the exchange
rate.

Wanted to check out with have you all faced similar issues in any of your T&E implementation and is there a configuration that we are missing to get this resolved.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Amit,

Need some clarifications on your issue.

• Where you are getting this error message means in which transaction?
• What is the type/structure of your Amex file using for upload?
• Can you provide the exchange rate types screenshot.
• For all the employees or only for specific employee, you are getting this error?
• If possible, better to provide the process flow of "Data upload to Amex" which means, the from SAP system to Amex.
