• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB175 - Exchange rate type &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  W_CB175 Exchange rate type &1 does not exist
  typically occurs when the system tries to find an exchange rate for a specified exchange rate type but cannot find it in the exchange rate tables.
  
  Cause
  
  The exchange rate type specified (represented by &1 in the message) does not exist in the system.
  This can happen if:
  
  The exchange rate type has not been created or maintained in the system.
  The exchange rate type is incorrectly specified in the configuration or master data.
  The exchange rate type is missing in the exchange rate table (transaction OB08).
  The exchange rate type is not assigned or maintained for the relevant currency pair and date.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Exchange Rate Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates).
  Verify if the exchange rate type mentioned in the error message exists.
  If it does not exist, create the exchange rate type or correct the exchange rate type in the relevant configuration or master data.
  
  
  
  Maintain Exchange Rates:
  
  In OB08, check if the exchange rates for the relevant currency pair and date exist for the exchange rate type.
  If missing, maintain the required exchange rates.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Verify the exchange rate type assignment in the relevant customizing paths, for example:
  
  Financial Accounting (FI) ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Currencies ? Define Exchange Rate Types.
  Check if the exchange rate type is assigned correctly in the relevant areas (e.g., in the document posting, valuation, or other processes).
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Master Data or Transaction Data:
  
  If the exchange rate type is specified in master data (e.g., vendor/customer master, material master) or in transaction data, verify that it is correct.
  
  
  
  Correct the Exchange Rate Type in the Program or User Input:
  
  If the exchange rate type is entered manually or passed by a program, ensure it is correct.
