  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message T2543 - Currency translation not maintained, currency pair &2 &3 ?

    The SAP error message T2543, which states "Currency translation not maintained, currency pair &2 &3," typically occurs when there is an issue with the currency translation settings in the SAP system. This error is often encountered in financial reporting or when performing currency conversions in various modules, such as Controlling (CO) or Financial Accounting (FI).

    Cause:

    The error is caused by the absence of a defined currency translation for the specified currency pair in the system. This means that the system does not have the necessary exchange rates or translation rules to convert between the two currencies indicated by &2 (the source currency) and &3 (the target currency).

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check Currency Pair: Verify the currency pair mentioned in the error message. Ensure that both currencies are correctly identified.

    2. Maintain Exchange Rates:

      • Go to the transaction code OB08 (or use the menu path: Accounting > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > G/L Account > Maintain Exchange Rates).
      • Check if the exchange rate for the specified currency pair exists. If it does not, you will need to enter the appropriate exchange rate.
      • Ensure that the exchange rate is valid for the relevant time period.
    3. Check Translation Rules:

      • If you are using a specific translation method (e.g., for financial statements), ensure that the translation rules are correctly set up in the system.
      • You can check this in the transaction code OB22 (for maintaining translation methods).
    4. Currency Type: Ensure that the currency types (e.g., transaction currency, group currency) are correctly defined in your settings.

    5. Test the Configuration: After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by running the transaction or report that previously generated the error to ensure that the issue is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB08 (for maintaining exchange rates) and OB22 (for translation methods).
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed instructions on maintaining currency translations and exchange rates.
    • User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to currency settings in the SAP system.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to currency translation issues.
