  Causes of the Error
  
  
  Missing Exchange Rate: The most common cause is that there is no exchange rate defined for the currency pair involved in the transaction. If the system cannot find a valid exchange rate for the currencies being converted, it will throw this error.
  
  
  Invalid Currency Pair: The currencies specified in the transaction may not be valid or recognized by the system.
  
  
  Exchange Rate Type Issues: The exchange rate type being used may not be set up correctly or may not have valid rates for the required date.
  
  
  Date Issues: The date for which the currency conversion is being attempted may not have a valid exchange rate defined. Exchange rates can be date-sensitive, and if the rate is not available for the specific date, the conversion will fail.
