  SAP Error Message: VH125
  Message Text:
  
  Exch.rate (exch.rate type &, from-curr. &, to-curr. &, date &) missing
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to find an exchange rate for a specific exchange rate type, from-currency, to-currency, and date, but no valid exchange rate is maintained or available in the system for the given parameters.
  In other words, the system is unable to convert amounts between the specified currencies on the specified date because the exchange rate is not defined in the exchange rate tables.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During posting of financial documents involving currency conversion.
  When creating or processing transactions that require currency exchange (e.g., vendor invoices, customer payments, asset postings).
  When the system tries to determine the exchange rate for a currency pair on a particular date but cannot find it.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Exchange Rate Maintenance:
  
  Go to transaction OB08 (or S_ALR_87003642 for exchange rate display).
  Verify if the exchange rate for the specified exchange rate type, from-currency, to-currency, and date exists.
  If missing, maintain the exchange rate for the required date or date range.
  
  
  
  Maintain Exchange Rate:
  
  In OB08, enter:
  
  Exchange rate type (e.g., M for average rate, B for bank selling rate, etc.)
  From currency
  To currency
  Validity date (or date range)
  Exchange rate value
  
  
  Save the entries.
  
  
  
  Check Exchange Rate Type in Configuration:
  
  Verify if the correct exchange rate type is assigned in the relevant customizing settings.
  For example, in Financial Accounting (FI), check the exchange rate type used in company code settings or document types.
  
  
  
  Check Document Date:
  
  Ensure the document date or posting date is correct and falls within the validity period of the exchange rate maintained.
  
  
  
  Currency Settings:
  
  Confirm that the currencies involved are correctly defined in the system and active.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  Exchange Rate Types:
  
  SAP allows multiple exchange rate types (e.g., M, B, G, P). Each type can have different rates for the same currency pair. The system uses the exchange rate type configured for the transaction or document.
  
  
  Transaction OB08:
  
  This is the primary transaction to maintain exchange rates in SAP.
  
  
  Currency Conversion:
  
  Exchange rates are essential for currency conversion in FI, CO, MM, SD, and other modules.
  
  
  Date Dependency:
  
  Exchange rates are date-dependent. If the rate is missing for a specific date, the system cannot perform the conversion.
  
  
  Customizing Path:
  
  For exchange rate types and currency settings, you can check under:
  
  SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Currencies -> Enter Exchange Rates
