• Message number: 020

• Message text: It was not possible to determine a currency

What causes this issue?

An attempt was made to specify the payroll currency. As this does not
appear in the WAERS field of the VERSC payroll field string for the
current result (this should only be the case for results before Release
3.1H), the system had to call the RP_GET_CURRENCY function module,
which was unable to provide a result due to missing entries in the
tables T001 (Company codes), T500P (Personnel areas) or T500C
(Currencies).

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
