  Error Message: VH126
  Text: There are no exchange rate types available
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to determine or use exchange rates for currency conversion, but it cannot find any valid exchange rate types configured or available for the given currency pair and date.
  Common causes include:
  
  No exchange rate types have been maintained in the system for the relevant currency pair.
  The exchange rate type(s) exist but do not have valid exchange rates maintained for the posting date or the date in question.
  The exchange rate type(s) are not assigned or activated in the relevant company code or transaction.
  The system is configured to use a specific exchange rate type that is missing or incomplete.
  Missing or incorrect configuration in transaction OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates).
  
  
  Where does this error typically occur?
  
  During financial postings involving currency conversion (e.g., vendor/customer invoices, payments).
  When running currency translation or revaluation.
  In foreign currency valuation or reporting.
  In SD or MM documents involving currency conversion.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Exchange Rate Types in OB08:
  
  Go to transaction OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates).
  Verify that exchange rate types exist for the currency pair involved.
  Check if exchange rates are maintained for the relevant posting date.
  If missing, maintain the required exchange rates for the relevant exchange rate type(s).
  
  
  
  Verify Exchange Rate Type Configuration:
  
  Check which exchange rate type is being used in the transaction or configuration.
  Common exchange rate types are 'M' (average rate), 'B' (buying rate), 'S' (selling rate), or custom types.
  Ensure the exchange rate type is assigned and active in the relevant company code or transaction.
  
  
  
  Check Currency Settings:
  
  Verify that the currencies involved are correctly defined in the system.
  Check if the currency pair is valid and supported.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  In SPRO under Financial Accounting ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Currencies ? Check Exchange Rate Types.
  Ensure that the exchange rate types are properly configured and assigned.
  
  
  
  Maintain Exchange Rates:
  
  If exchange rates are missing for the date, maintain them manually or upload via standard tools.
  Use transaction OB08 or mass upload tools for exchange rates.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Sometimes custom code or user exits might override or influence exchange rate determination.
  Review any custom logic that might restrict exchange rate types.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Transaction OB08 is the primary place to maintain exchange rates.
  Exchange rate types can be configured in SPRO under:
  
  Financial Accounting ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Currencies ? Define Exchange Rate Types.
  
  
  Exchange rates are usually maintained daily or periodically depending on business needs.
  If your system uses external exchange rate providers, ensure the interface or batch jobs are running correctly.
  For testing, try using a different exchange rate type or date to isolate the issue.
