This error typically arises in the context of financial contracts, particularly in the SAP system's contract management or financial accounting modules.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system attempts to process a contract (identified by &1) and finds that the exchange rate for the third local currency is not defined or is missing. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Exchange Rate Configuration: The exchange rate for the third local currency has not been set up in the system.

  Review Contract Data:
  
  Use transaction FARR (or the relevant transaction for contract management) to review the contract identified by &1.
  Ensure that all currency fields are correctly populated, including the third local currency.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Review:
  
  If this error occurs during a data migration process, check the data source to ensure that it includes the necessary exchange rate information for the third local currency.
