  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MQ472 - No currency key was found for ISO code EUR ?

    The SAP error message "MQ472 No currency key was found for ISO code EUR" typically indicates that the system is unable to find a corresponding currency key for the Euro (EUR) in the currency configuration settings. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when processing financial transactions, creating documents, or running reports that involve currency conversion.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Currency Configuration: The currency EUR may not be properly configured in the SAP system. This could happen if the currency was not set up during the initial configuration or if it was inadvertently deleted.
    2. Incorrect Currency Key: The currency key for EUR might be incorrectly defined or not aligned with the ISO code.
    3. Client-Specific Settings: The currency settings may vary by client, and the client you are working in may not have EUR configured.
    4. Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to missing or incomplete data.

    Solution:

    1. Check Currency Configuration:

      • Go to the transaction code OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates) and check if the currency EUR is listed.
      • If EUR is not present, you will need to create it. Ensure that the currency key is set to "EUR" and that it is properly defined.
    2. Verify Currency Keys:

      • Use transaction code OB22 (Define Currencies) to check if the currency key for EUR is correctly defined.

    3. Check Client Settings:

      • Ensure that you are working in the correct client where the currency configuration is set up. You can check this in the client settings or by consulting with your SAP Basis team.
    4. Transport Issues:

      • If the configuration was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or issues. You may need to re-transport the configuration or manually adjust it.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or notes related to currency configuration for any additional steps or considerations that may be relevant to your specific version of SAP.
