• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAU220 - Ex.rate InfoObject from currency translation type & not in the commStruc. ?

  The SAP error message RSAU220 indicates that there is an issue with the currency translation type in the context of an InfoObject that is not included in the communication structure (commStruc). This error typically arises during the data extraction or loading process in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with currency conversion.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing InfoObject in Communication Structure: The error suggests that the InfoObject related to the currency translation type is not included in the communication structure of the DataSource. This means that the system cannot find the necessary mapping or conversion information for the currency translation.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the DataSource or the InfoObject may not be set up correctly, leading to discrepancies in how currency data is handled.
  
  
  DataSource Issues: The DataSource may not be properly defined to handle currency translation, or it may not be activated correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Communication Structure: 
  
  Go to the DataSource in the SAP BW system and check the communication structure. Ensure that the InfoObject related to the currency translation type is included in the structure.
  If it is missing, you may need to modify the DataSource to include the necessary InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Review DataSource Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the DataSource to ensure that it is set up to handle currency translation correctly.
  Check the settings for currency fields and ensure that they are mapped correctly to the corresponding InfoObjects.
  
  
  
  Activate DataSource:
  
  If you have made changes to the DataSource or communication structure, make sure to activate the DataSource again to apply the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Currency Translation Type:
  
  Ensure that the currency translation type being used is valid and correctly configured in the system. You may need to review the settings in the transaction code OB08 (for exchange rates) or other relevant configuration areas.
  
  
  
  Test Data Extraction:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test extraction to see if the error persists. Monitor the logs for any additional error messages that may provide further insight.
