• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTBCVA078 - Overflow during conversion: Check exchange rate factors in table TCURF ?

  The SAP error message FTBCVA078 indicates that there is an overflow during the conversion of currency amounts, specifically related to the exchange rate factors stored in the table TCURF. This error typically occurs when the system attempts to convert an amount using exchange rates that are either too large or too small, leading to a numerical overflow.
  Cause:
  
  Exchange Rate Factors: The exchange rate factors in the TCURF table may have been incorrectly defined or may contain extreme values that lead to overflow during calculations.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect or extreme values entered in the currency conversion fields can also lead to this error.
  Currency Configuration: Issues with the configuration of currencies in the system, such as missing or incorrect exchange rates for the relevant currency pairs.
  System Limitations: The system may have limitations on the size of numbers it can handle, and if the exchange rate or the amount being converted exceeds these limits, an overflow will occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check TCURF Table: Review the entries in the TCURF table to ensure that the exchange rate factors are correctly defined. Look for any extreme values or anomalies.
  
  You can use transaction code SE16 or SE11 to view the TCURF table.
  
  
  
  Correct Exchange Rates: If you find incorrect exchange rates, update them using transaction code OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates) to ensure that they are within a reasonable range.
  
  
  Review Currency Configuration: Ensure that all necessary currency pairs have valid exchange rates defined. If any currency pair is missing, add the required exchange rates.
  
  
  Data Validation: Check the data being processed for any extreme values that may be causing the overflow. Validate the amounts and ensure they are within acceptable limits.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to currency conversion and exchange rates for any additional guidance or known issues.
