• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W5066 - Currency & is not an ISO code (item will not be adopted) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W5066 Currency & is not an ISO code (item will not be adopted)
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when a currency code used in a document or master data is not recognized as a valid ISO currency code in the SAP system. SAP checks currency codes against the list of ISO currency codes maintained in the system (table TCURC). If the currency code is missing or incorrect, SAP issues this warning and does not adopt the item for further processing.
  Common causes include:  
  
  The currency code is mistyped or invalid.  
  The currency code is not maintained in the system’s currency table (TCURC).  
  The currency code is custom or local but not registered as an ISO code in SAP.  
  Data migration or interface errors where currency codes are incorrectly mapped.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify the Currency Code:
  
  Check the currency code in the document or master data that triggered the warning. Ensure it is a valid ISO currency code (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP).
  
  
  Maintain Currency Code in SAP:
  
  If the currency code is valid but missing in SAP, add it to the currency table:  
  
  Transaction: OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates) or  
  Directly maintain table TCURC via customizing (SPRO path:
  
  Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Currencies -> Check Currency Codes).
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry or Interface Mapping:
  
  If the currency code is incorrect due to data entry or interface issues, correct the source data or mapping logic.
  
  
  Use Standard ISO Codes:
  
  Avoid using non-standard or local currency codes unless they are officially recognized and maintained in SAP.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Table TCURC: Contains all valid currency codes recognized by SAP.  
  Transaction OB08: Used to maintain exchange rates and indirectly manage currency codes.  
  ISO Currency Codes: SAP follows ISO 4217 standard for currency codes.  
  Impact: Items with invalid currency codes are not adopted, which can cause incomplete postings or data inconsistencies.  
  Message Class: W5066 is a warning, not an error, but it prevents adoption of the item.
  
  
  Summary:
  The warning W5066 Currency & is not an ISO code (item will not be adopted) indicates that the currency code used is not recognized as a valid ISO currency code in SAP. To resolve, verify and correct the currency code or maintain it properly in SAP’s currency table (TCURC). This ensures smooth processing and adoption of items involving currency values.
