• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCRM618 - Key figure &1 has no fixed currency; requires currency conversion ?

  The SAP error message RSCRM618 indicates that a key figure in your query does not have a fixed currency assigned to it, which is necessary for currency conversion. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when dealing with queries that involve currency-related calculations or aggregations.
  Cause:
  
  Key Figure Configuration: The key figure in question is not set up with a fixed currency. This means that the system does not know which currency to use for calculations or conversions.
  Currency Conversion Requirement: The query or report you are trying to execute requires a currency conversion, but the key figure lacks the necessary currency information.
  Data Source Issues: The underlying data source may not have the currency information properly defined or may be missing currency data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject for the key figure in the SAP BW system.
  Ensure that the key figure is set to have a fixed currency. This can usually be done in the InfoObject maintenance screen by checking the "Currency" settings.
  
  
  
  Define Currency Type:
  
  If the key figure is meant to represent a monetary value, ensure that it is defined with a currency type (e.g., "0CURRENCY" for currency values).
  You may need to set the "Currency" attribute in the key figure settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Query Settings:
  
  In the BEx Query Designer, check the properties of the query. Ensure that the key figure is correctly configured to use a currency conversion if required.
  If the query is using multiple currencies, ensure that the appropriate currency conversion settings are applied.
  
  
  
  Data Source Review:
  
  Review the data source (e.g., InfoCube, DSO) to ensure that it contains the necessary currency information.
  If the data source is missing currency data, you may need to adjust the data loading process to include currency fields.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the query again to see if the error persists.
