• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F5708 - Calculated exchange rate & is set instead of & ?

  The SAP error message F5708, which states "Calculated exchange rate & is set instead of &," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions involving currency conversion. This error indicates that the system has calculated an exchange rate that differs from the one that was expected or predefined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Exchange Rate Differences: The error usually arises when the exchange rate used for a transaction does not match the rate that was expected based on the configuration or the rate maintained in the system.
  Missing Exchange Rate: The exchange rate for the specific currency pair may not be maintained in the system for the relevant date.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the currency settings in the SAP system, such as incorrect settings in the currency translation or exchange rate types.
  Date Mismatch: The exchange rate might not be valid for the date of the transaction, leading to a recalculation of the rate.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Exchange Rate Maintenance:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB08 to check the exchange rates maintained in the system.
  Ensure that the exchange rate for the relevant currency pair is correctly maintained for the date of the transaction.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for currency translation in the SAP system. This can be done through transaction codes like OB22 (for exchange rate types) and OBY6 (for currency settings).
  Ensure that the correct exchange rate type is being used in the transaction.
  
  
  
  Validate Transaction Date:
  
  Verify that the transaction date falls within the range of valid exchange rates. If the transaction date is outside the range, the system may calculate a new rate.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transaction Settings:
  
  If applicable, adjust the settings in the transaction to use the correct exchange rate type or to allow for manual entry of the exchange rate.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your system configuration and the error message.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address the issue.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved in currency conversion, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect how exchange rates are calculated.
