  VF_PRC_CPF011: Industry-specific currency conversion: error converting &1 to &2
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This error occurs during the billing process (transaction VF01, VF02, or VF03) when the system tries to perform a currency conversion for an industry-specific solution (such as IS-Oil, IS-Utilities, IS-Retail, etc.) and fails to convert an amount from one currency (&1) to another currency (&2).
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or incorrect exchange rate for the currency pair (&1 to &2) on the relevant date.
  Exchange rate type used for conversion is not maintained or incorrect.
  The currency conversion logic in the industry-specific pricing function module or user exit is not handling the currencies properly.
  The document date or posting date used for determining the exchange rate is not valid or missing.
  Custom enhancements or user exits related to currency conversion are causing errors.
  
  
  Where it occurs
  
  During billing document creation or change (VF01, VF02).
  In industry-specific pricing procedures or condition functions.
  When the system tries to convert amounts for pricing, taxes, or surcharges in industry-specific solutions.
  
  
  How to analyze
  
  
  Check the currencies involved:
  
  Identify the currencies &1 (source currency) and &2 (target currency) from the error message or billing document.
  
  
  Check exchange rates:  
  
  Go to transaction OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates).  
  Verify if the exchange rate for the currency pair &1 to &2 exists for the billing date or relevant date.  
  Check the exchange rate type used in the pricing procedure or industry-specific settings.
  
  
  
  Check pricing procedure and condition types:  
  
  Review the pricing procedure assigned to the billing document type.  
  Check if any condition types require currency conversion and if the currency conversion settings are correct.
  
  
  
  Check industry-specific settings:  
  
  For IS-Oil, IS-Utilities, IS-Retail, etc., check the relevant configuration for currency conversion.  
  Review any user exits or BAdIs that might influence currency conversion.
  
  
  
  Debug or trace:  
  
  If you have development access, debug the pricing function module or user exit where the error occurs.  
  Use transaction ST22 to check for dumps or SM21 for system logs.

  Maintain exchange rates:
  
  Ensure that the exchange rate for the currency pair &1 to &2 is maintained in OB08 for the relevant date and exchange rate type.
