  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_LOG_GUI200 Currency translation failed for obj. &1 &2. Currency from &3 to &4 typically indicates that there was an issue with currency translation during a financial transaction or reporting process. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during the posting of documents, running reports, or executing transactions that involve currency conversion.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Exchange Rate: The most common cause 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 currencies specified, it will throw this error.
  
  
  Incorrect Currency Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the currencies in the system, such as incorrect currency types or settings.
  
  
  Date Issues: The exchange rate may not be valid for the date of the transaction. Exchange rates are often time-sensitive, and if the rate is not maintained for the specific date, the system will fail to perform the conversion.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the exchange rate data.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as problems with the database or the application server.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Exchange Rates: Go to the transaction code OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates) and verify that the exchange rate for the currency pair (from &3 to &4) exists for the relevant date. If it does not exist, you will need to enter the appropriate exchange rate.
  
  
  Review Currency Configuration: Ensure that the currencies involved are correctly configured in the system. Check the currency types and settings in the configuration.
  
  
  Validate Transaction Date: Make sure that the date of the transaction falls within the range for which the exchange rate is valid. If necessary, adjust the date or maintain the exchange rate for the required period.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to access and use the exchange rate data.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: If the issue persists, check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or bugs related to currency translation.
