  Error Message
  VH117: No exchange rates are available for currency &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to perform a currency conversion or valuation but cannot find the required exchange rate for the specified currency pair and date. Specifically:
  
  The exchange rate for the currency pair (e.g., from local currency to foreign currency or vice versa) is not maintained in the system.
  The exchange rate for the relevant date (usually the posting date or valuation date) is missing.
  The exchange rate type used in the transaction is not defined or does not have valid rates.
  The currency code itself might be incorrect or not recognized by the system.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During asset accounting transactions (e.g., asset acquisition, retirement, revaluation).
  During foreign currency valuation or translation.
  When posting documents involving foreign currencies.
  When running reports or processes that require currency conversion.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Exchange Rates Maintenance:
  
  Go to transaction OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates).
  Verify if the exchange rate for the currency pair in question exists for the relevant date.
  If missing, maintain the correct exchange rate for the required date and currency pair.
  
  
  
  Verify Exchange Rate Type:
  
  Check which exchange rate type is used in the transaction (e.g., M for average rate, B for buying rate).
  Ensure that the exchange rate type is maintained in OB08 for the currency pair and date.
  
  
  
  Check Currency Codes:
  
  Verify that the currency codes used are valid and correctly entered.
  Use transaction OB22 to check currency settings if needed.
  
  
  
  Check Valuation Settings:
  
  For asset accounting, check the valuation area and currency settings.
  Ensure that the valuation currency and local currency are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Update Exchange Rates Regularly:
  
  Ensure that exchange rates are updated regularly in the system to avoid missing rates.
  Consider automating exchange rate uploads if possible.
  
  
  
  Check Date Settings:
  
  Confirm that the date used for exchange rate determination (posting date, document date, or valuation date) is correct.
  Sometimes, the system looks for exchange rates on a date where none exist.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Transaction OB08 is the primary place to maintain exchange rates.
  Exchange rates can be maintained manually or uploaded via batch input or interfaces.
  Exchange rate types can be configured in OBBS.
  For asset accounting, currency and valuation settings are found in OAYZ and related IMG settings.
  If the error occurs during a specific process (e.g., asset revaluation), check the process-specific configuration.
  SAP Notes and documentation related to currency conversion and exchange rate maintenance can provide further guidance.
