  The SAP error message HRTIM00CATS180 indicates that the system is unable to determine a currency for a specific personnel number on a given date. This issue typically arises in the context of time management or time recording in SAP, particularly when dealing with employee time data in the Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) module.
  Causes:

  Date-Specific Issues: The date specified may not have valid data in the relevant infotypes, or the employee may not have been assigned a currency for that specific date.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system related to currency settings or the way the time data is processed.
