This error occurs when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the currency settings for a particular transaction or posting, especially when dealing with multiple currencies.
  Cause:
  
  
  Currency Mapping Issues: The error suggests that the system is unable to map the ISO code (currency code) specified in the transaction to the default currencies defined in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The currency is not defined in the system.
  The currency is not assigned to the relevant company code or controlling area.
  There are inconsistencies in the currency settings across different configurations (e.g., master data, transaction data).
  
  
  
  Default Currency Settings: The default currencies for various entities (like company codes, controlling areas, etc.) may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts when trying to process transactions.
  
  
  Transaction Currency vs. Local Currency: If the transaction currency does not match the local currency settings of the company code or if there are discrepancies in the exchange rates, this error can occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Currency Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB08 to check the exchange rates and ensure that the currency in question is properly defined and has valid exchange rates.
  Verify that the currency is assigned to the relevant company code in the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Review Company Code Settings:
  
  Use transaction code OBY6 to check the settings for the company code and ensure that the default currency is correctly set.

  Master Data Review:
  
  Check the master data (e.g., vendor, customer, material) to ensure that the currency settings are consistent and correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Transaction Data Review:
  
  Review the specific transaction that triggered the error to ensure that all currency-related fields are populated correctly.
