• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSS4_MSG152 - Choose an Availability Control Profile that is mapped to Global Currency ?

  The SAP error message PSS4_MSG152 indicates that there is an issue with the availability control profile being used in a particular transaction or process. Specifically, it suggests that the availability control profile selected is not mapped to a global currency, which is a requirement for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Profile Configuration: The availability control profile you are trying to use is not configured to support global currency. This can happen if the profile is set up for a specific local currency or if it lacks the necessary settings to handle global currency transactions.
  Transaction Context: The transaction you are executing may require a global currency mapping due to the nature of the data being processed, such as cross-company code transactions or international operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Availability Control Profile:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for availability control profiles in SAP (Transaction Code: SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant section for availability control and check the settings of the profile you are using.
  Ensure that the profile is mapped to a global currency. If it is not, you may need to create a new profile or modify the existing one.
  
  
  
  Assign a Different Profile:
  
  If the current profile cannot be modified, consider assigning a different availability control profile that is already configured to support global currency.
  You can do this in the transaction where the error occurs, or by changing the settings in the relevant configuration area.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to availability control profiles and currency settings to ensure you understand the requirements and configurations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved and that the availability control works as expected.
