What causes this issue?

You have entered an exchange rate as a direct rate (1 unit of &V2&
corresponds to x units of currency &V3&).
However, the system is set to indirect quotation for the currency pair
&V2&/&V3& (x units of &V2& correspond to 1 unit of currency &V3&).
Indirect rates are preceded by a '/' character in exchange rate fields,
direct rates are not.

System Response

The system adds the '/' character for you and accepts your entry as
indirect.

If you want to enter a direct rate here, use the F4 help for the
exchange rate field.
