  Navigating to the transaction code OB22 (for defining currencies) or OBY6 (for company code settings).
  Adding the currency back to the relevant company code.
  
  
  
  Check Existing Transactions: Review any existing transactions or documents that may be referencing the deleted currency. If necessary, update or reverse these transactions to remove dependencies on the deleted currency.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about the implications of restoring the currency, it may be beneficial to consult with SAP support or your internal SAP team for guidance.
  
  
  Review Configuration Changes: If the deletion was part of a broader configuration change, ensure that all related settings are consistent and that no other currencies are inadvertently affected.
