• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLE_FXR002 - Use only market data exchange rate for FI document type & ?

  The SAP error message GLE_FXR002 indicates that there is an issue with the exchange rate used for a financial document in the system. Specifically, it suggests that only market data exchange rates should be used for the specified document type. This error typically arises in the context of foreign currency transactions where the system expects a specific type of exchange rate to be applied.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Exchange Rate Type: The document is using an exchange rate type that is not classified as a market data exchange rate. This can happen if the exchange rate type is set incorrectly in the document or if the configuration does not allow for the specified document type to use the current exchange rate type.
  
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type in question may not be configured to accept the exchange rate type being used. This can occur if the document type is set up to only allow certain types of exchange rates.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Exchange Rate: The required market data exchange rate may not be available in the system for the currency pair involved in the transaction.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Exchange Rate Type: Verify the exchange rate type being used in the document. Ensure that it is set to a market data exchange rate type. You can do this by checking the document in the relevant transaction (e.g., FB01, FB50) and looking at the exchange rate field.
  
  
  Review Document Type Configuration: Go to the configuration settings for the document type in question (e.g., via transaction OBA7) and ensure that it is set up to accept market data exchange rates. If necessary, adjust the configuration to allow the use of the appropriate exchange rate type.
  
  
  Update Exchange Rates: If the required market data exchange rate is missing, you may need to update the exchange rates in the system. This can be done through transaction OB08, where you can maintain exchange rates for different currency pairs.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team: If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team. They can provide insights into the configuration and help troubleshoot the issue further.
