  The SAP error message FMCJ034, which states "Document not saved, translation from & to & not possible," typically occurs in the context of financial document processing, particularly when dealing with currency translations in SAP. This error indicates that the system is unable to perform a currency translation for the specified document due to various reasons.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Exchange Rate: The most common cause is that there is no exchange rate defined for the currency pair involved in the transaction. If the system cannot find a valid exchange rate for the currencies specified, it will throw this error.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the currency translation settings in the SAP system.
