Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABX_CUSTOMIZING022 - Conversion factor for currency combination &1/&2 could not be determined ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABX_CUSTOMIZING022 indicates that the system is unable to determine the conversion factor for a specific currency combination. This typically occurs in scenarios where currency conversion is required, such as in financial transactions, reporting, or when dealing with multiple currencies in a single document.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Exchange Rate: The most common cause is that there is no exchange rate defined for the currency pair in the system. This can happen if the exchange rate has not been maintained in the system for the specific currencies involved.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The currency settings in the customizing may not be correctly configured, leading to issues in determining the conversion factor.
  
  
  Date Issues: The exchange rate may not be valid for the date of the transaction. If the exchange rate is only defined for certain periods, and the transaction date falls outside of that range, the conversion factor cannot be determined.
  
  
  Currency Type: The currency type being used may not have a corresponding exchange rate defined.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Exchange Rates:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB08 (or OBBS for batch input) to maintain exchange rates.
  Ensure that the exchange rate for the specific currency combination (e.g., from currency &1 to currency &2) is defined and valid for the relevant date.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to currencies and exchange rates. Ensure that the currency types and settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Validate Dates:
  
  Check the date of the transaction and ensure that it falls within the validity period of the exchange rates maintained in the system.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Currency Types:
  
  Ensure that the correct currency types are being used in the transaction. For example, if you are using a specific currency type (like "M" for company code currency), make sure that the exchange rates for that type are maintained.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or support for further troubleshooting steps specific to your version and configuration.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
