  The SAP error message G00639, which states "Once data is corrected, you need to rerun currency translation," typically occurs during the currency translation process in SAP, particularly in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) or Controlling (CO) modules. This error indicates that there are issues with the data that need to be resolved before the currency translation can be successfully completed.
  Causes:
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data that are preventing the currency translation from being executed. This could include missing or incorrect exchange rates, missing data in the relevant tables, or discrepancies in the source data.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for currency translation may not be set up correctly. This includes settings related to the translation methods, exchange rate types, or the periods being translated.
  
  
  Missing Exchange Rates: If the required exchange rates for the translation period are not maintained in the system, the translation cannot be performed.
  
  
  Data Locking: Sometimes, data may be locked due to ongoing processes or transactions, preventing the currency translation from being executed.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data Consistency: Review the data that is being used for the currency translation. Ensure that all necessary data is complete and accurate. This may involve checking the relevant financial documents, master data, and any other related entries.
  
  
  Maintain Exchange Rates: Ensure that the required exchange rates are maintained in the system for the relevant currency pairs and periods. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates) in SAP.
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings for currency translation in the system. Ensure that the translation methods and exchange rate types are correctly defined. This can typically be done in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG).
  
  
  Unlock Data: If data is locked, identify the process or transaction that is causing the lock and resolve it. You may need to wait for the process to complete or manually unlock the data if necessary.
  
  
  Rerun Currency Translation: After correcting the data and ensuring that all necessary configurations and exchange rates are in place, rerun the currency translation process. This can usually be done through the relevant transaction code (e.g., FAGL_FC_VAL for Financial Accounting).
