  The SAP error message 65306, which states "Enter an exchange," typically occurs in the context of foreign currency transactions or when dealing with exchange rates in SAP. This error indicates that the system requires an exchange rate to be specified for the transaction you are trying to process.

  Review Transaction Date:

  If necessary, update the exchange rates to include the required date.
