• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVD_CAPTR189 - A currency swap exists ?

  The SAP error message FVD_CAPTR189 indicates that a currency swap already exists for the transaction you are trying to process. This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions involving foreign exchange or currency management within SAP's Financial Services module.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to create or modify a financial transaction (like a currency swap or a related financial instrument) that conflicts with an existing currency swap.

  Adjust New Transaction Parameters:
  
  If the existing currency swap is valid and should remain, you may need to adjust the parameters of your new transaction (e.g., different currencies, amounts, or dates) to avoid the conflict.
