• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV20600038 - Company code &1 uses hard currency, but country &2 does not have any ?

  The SAP error message CNV20600038 indicates that there is a mismatch between the currency settings of a company code and the country associated with it. Specifically, it means that the company code is configured to use hard currency, but the country does not have any hard currency defined in its settings.
  Cause:
  
  Company Code Configuration: The company code is set up to use hard currency (for example, a currency that is stable and widely accepted, such as USD or EUR).
  Country Configuration: The country associated with the company code does not have any hard currency defined in its configuration. This could be due to missing settings in the country-specific configuration or incorrect mapping.
