The placeholder &1 typically provides additional context or details about the specific transaction or item that triggered the error.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Exchange Rate: The most common cause of this error is that there is no exchange rate defined for the currency pair involved in the transaction. If SAP cannot find a valid exchange rate for the conversion, it will throw this error.
  
  
  Invalid Currency Configuration: The currencies involved may not be properly configured in the system. This could include issues with the currency settings in the company code or controlling area.
  
  
  Date Issues: The exchange rate may not be valid for the date of the transaction. Exchange rates can be time-sensitive, and if the rate is not valid for the date of the transaction, the conversion will fail.
  
  
  Currency Type Issues: The error may also occur if there are issues with the currency type being used (e.g., if the system is expecting a specific type of currency).
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Exchange Rates:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB08 to check the exchange rates defined in the system.

  Update Exchange Rates:
  
  If the exchange rate is missing or outdated, you can update it in the same transaction (OB08) or use the appropriate method to upload exchange rates if you have a large number of updates.
  
  
  
  Verify Currency Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the currencies in the system. Ensure that both currencies are active and properly set up in the relevant company code or controlling area.
  
  
  
  Check Transaction Date:
  
  Ensure that the transaction date falls within the range of valid exchange rates. If necessary, adjust the transaction date or update the exchange rates accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Currency Types:
