  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF087 - No exchange rate found for &1 / &2. ?

    The SAP error message VF087 "No exchange rate found for &1 / &2" typically occurs in the context of billing documents or sales orders when the system is unable to find a valid exchange rate for the specified currency pair. Here, &1 represents the source currency, and &2 represents the target currency.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Exchange Rate: The most common cause is that there is no exchange rate maintained in the system for the specified currency pair on the date of the transaction.
    2. Incorrect Date: The exchange rate might not be available for the date of the transaction. Exchange rates can be date-sensitive, and if the date falls outside the range of maintained rates, this error will occur.
    3. Currency Configuration: The currencies involved may not be properly configured in the system.
    4. Transaction Type: The transaction type may not support the currency conversion or may have specific settings that restrict the use of certain currencies.

    Solution:

    1. Maintain Exchange Rates:

      • Go to the transaction code OB08 (or use the menu path: SAP Easy Access -> Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger -> Master Data -> Currencies -> Maintain Exchange Rates).
      • Check if the exchange rate for the specified currency pair exists for the relevant date. If not, you can enter the required exchange rate.
    2. Check Date Validity:

      • Ensure that the date of the transaction falls within the range of the maintained exchange rates. If necessary, add the exchange rate for the required date.
    3. Currency Configuration:

      • Verify that both currencies are correctly configured in the system. Check the currency settings in the relevant configuration areas (e.g., company code settings).
    4. Review Transaction Settings:

      • If applicable, review the settings for the transaction type to ensure that it allows for currency conversion and that the currencies involved are supported.
    5. Testing:

      • After making the necessary changes, try to reprocess the transaction to see if the error persists.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • OB08: Maintain exchange rates.
      • VK11: Create condition records (if applicable).
      • VF01: Create billing document (to test after changes).
