• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VG920 - Header (& is not assigned to an ISO currency key) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VG920 Header (& is not assigned to an ISO currency key)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the currency key used in the document header is not assigned or linked to a valid ISO currency code in the SAP system. SAP requires that every currency key corresponds to an ISO currency code to ensure consistency and proper currency handling in financial and logistics documents.
  Typically, this happens if:
  
  The currency key in the document header is incorrect or missing.
  The currency key is not maintained or mapped to an ISO currency code in the system.
  Custom or non-standard currency keys are used without proper configuration.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  Currency Key: A 3-character key used in SAP to represent currencies (e.g., USD, EUR).
  ISO Currency Code: The international standard currency code (ISO 4217) that SAP uses internally.
  The system checks the currency key against the ISO currency code table (TCURC).
  If the currency key is not assigned to an ISO currency code, the system throws this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Currency Key in the Document:
  
  Verify the currency key entered in the document header.
  Make sure it is correct and corresponds to a valid currency.
  
  
  
  Maintain Currency Key to ISO Currency Code Mapping:
  
  Go to transaction OBBS (Maintain Currency Codes).
  Check if the currency key is assigned to an ISO currency code.
  If not, assign the correct ISO currency code to the currency key.
  
  
  
  Verify Currency Key in Table TCURC:
  
  Use transaction SE16N or SE11 to view table TCURC.
  Confirm that the currency key exists and is linked to an ISO currency code.
  
  
  
  Correct the Document or Master Data:
  
  If the error occurs during document posting, correct the currency key in the document.
  If the currency key is coming from master data (e.g., vendor, customer, material), update the master data accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Currency Keys:
  
  If you are using custom currency keys, ensure they are properly configured and mapped.
  Custom currency keys must be linked to a valid ISO currency code.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in logistics documents (e.g., purchase orders, goods movements) where currency is involved.
  Currency keys are critical for exchange rate determination and financial postings.
  Always use standard ISO currency codes unless there is a specific business requirement.
  Consult your SAP FI/CO or Basis team if you need to add or modify currency keys.
