  SAP Error Message:
  
  VH116 - Currency & does not exist
  
  Cause:
  The error message VH116 occurs when the system tries to process a transaction or master data entry involving a currency code that is not defined or recognized in the SAP system. Essentially, the currency code you entered or that is being referenced does not exist in the currency table (TCURC).
  This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Entering a currency code manually that is not maintained in SAP.
  Data migration or interface issues where an invalid currency code is passed.
  Customizing or master data inconsistencies where the currency is missing.
  Using a currency code that is valid in business but not yet created in SAP.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Currency Code:
  
  Verify the currency code you are using is correct and valid.
  Make sure there are no typos or incorrect entries.
  
  
  
  Maintain the Currency Code in SAP:
  
  Use transaction OB08 (Exchange Rate Maintenance) or TCURC (Currency Codes) to check if the currency exists.
  If the currency does not exist, create it in TCURC:
  
  Go to transaction TCURC.
  Click on "New Entries".
  Enter the currency key, ISO code, and description.
  Save the entry.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Master Data and Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the currency is assigned correctly in customer/vendor master data, material master, or any relevant master data.
  Check if the currency is allowed in the company code or controlling area settings.
  
  
  
  Check Interfaces and Data Uploads:
  
  If the error occurs during data upload or interface processing, verify the source data for valid currency codes.
  Correct the source data or map the currency codes properly.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the currency was recently created in a development system, ensure it has been transported to the production system.
