  The SAP error message CZ006, which states "The currency & is not defined," typically occurs when a transaction or process in SAP is attempting to use a currency that has not been defined in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the creation of financial documents, pricing, or reporting.
  Cause:
  
  Undefined Currency: The currency code being used in the transaction is not defined in the system.
