  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAU224 - No currency translation type maintained for key figure & ?

    The SAP error message RSAU224 "No currency translation type maintained for key figure &" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when there is an issue with currency translation settings for a specific key figure in a query or report.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Currency Translation Type: The error indicates that the key figure in question does not have a currency translation type defined. This means that the system does not know how to convert the values of this key figure from one currency to another.
    2. Configuration Issues: The currency translation type may not have been set up correctly in the InfoObject or the query definition.
    3. Key Figure Settings: The key figure may not be configured to support currency translation, or it may be a characteristic that does not require currency conversion.

    Solution:

    1. Define Currency Translation Type:

      • Go to the SAP BW modeling tools (e.g., RSA1).
      • Navigate to the InfoObject that corresponds to the key figure in question.
      • Check the settings for the key figure and ensure that a currency translation type is assigned.
      • If it is not assigned, you can create a new currency translation type or assign an existing one.
    2. Check Query Settings:

      • If the error occurs in a query, open the query in the Query Designer.
      • Check the properties of the key figure and ensure that the currency translation type is set correctly.
      • Make sure that the key figure is set to allow currency conversion if it is supposed to support it.
    3. Review Currency Settings:

      • Ensure that the necessary currency settings are maintained in the system, including the currency types and translation types.
      • Check if the currency translation type is active and properly configured in the system.
    4. Test the Changes:

      • After making the necessary changes, test the query or report again to see if the error persists.

    Related Information:

    • Currency Translation Types: These are defined in the SAP system to specify how currency conversion should be handled (e.g., average rate, closing rate).
    • Key Figures: In SAP BW, key figures are numerical values that can be aggregated and analyzed. They can be defined with various properties, including currency settings.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or fixes related to this error message.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on configuring currency translation types and key figures.
