• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ME568 - Translation between & and & not possible with exchange rate type & ?

  The SAP error message ME568 indicates that there is an issue with the translation of currency values between two currencies using a specified exchange rate type. This typically occurs in the context of purchasing documents, such as purchase orders or contracts, where currency conversion is necessary.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Exchange Rate: The exchange rate for the specified currency pair (from currency to to currency) is not maintained in the system for the given exchange rate type.
  Incorrect Exchange Rate Type: The exchange rate type specified in the document may not be appropriate for the transaction or may not have valid rates defined.
  Date Issues: The exchange rate may not be valid for the date of the transaction. Exchange rates are often time-sensitive, and if the date falls outside the range of valid rates, the conversion will fail.
  Currency Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of currencies in the system, such as missing currency settings or incorrect currency types.

  To resolve the ME568 error, you can take the following steps:

  Ensure that the exchange rate is valid for the date of the transaction.
  
  
  
  Verify Exchange Rate Type:
  
  Check the exchange rate type used in the document. You can do this by reviewing the document in question (e.g., purchase order) and ensuring that the exchange rate type is appropriate for the transaction.
  
  
  
  Maintain Exchange Rates:
  
  If the exchange rate is missing, you can maintain it in transaction code OB08. Enter the required currencies, exchange rate type, and the valid date range.
  
  
  
  Review Currency Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the currencies involved are correctly configured in the system. Check for any inconsistencies in the currency settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the exchange rate types or how to maintain them, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant.
