    Error Message

    WG107: Exchange rate cannot be read. Value will be ignored


    Cause

    This error occurs when SAP tries to determine the exchange rate for a currency conversion but cannot find a valid exchange rate in the system for the specified currency pair and date. As a result, the system cannot perform the currency conversion and will ignore the exchange rate value.

    Common reasons include:

    • No exchange rate maintained for the currency pair in the exchange rate table (usually table TCURR).
    • The exchange rate for the specified date is missing or not valid.
    • Incorrect or missing exchange rate type in the document or configuration.
    • The currency pair or exchange rate type is not properly configured in the system.
    • The document date or posting date used to fetch the exchange rate is outside the valid range of maintained exchange rates.

    Solution

    1. Check Exchange Rate Maintenance:

      • Go to transaction OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates).
      • Verify that the exchange rate for the relevant currency pair (e.g., USD to EUR) exists.
      • Check that the exchange rate is maintained for the date of the document or posting date.
      • If missing, maintain the correct exchange rate for the required date.
    2. Verify Exchange Rate Type:

      • Confirm that the exchange rate type used in the document or configuration is correct.
      • The standard exchange rate type is usually 'M' (average rate), but your company might use a different one.
      • Check the exchange rate type in the document or in the customizing settings.
    3. Check Currency Configuration:

      • Ensure that the currencies involved are correctly defined in the system.
      • Verify that the currency pair is valid and supported.
    4. Check Document Dates:

      • Make sure the document date or posting date used to fetch the exchange rate is correct and falls within the range of maintained exchange rates.
    5. Re-run or Post Document:

      • After maintaining the exchange rates, try to repost or reprocess the document.

    Related Information

    • Transaction OB08: Used to maintain exchange rates.
    • Table TCURR: Stores exchange rates in SAP.
    • Exchange Rate Types: Different types can be maintained for different purposes (e.g., M = average rate, B = buying rate, S = selling rate).
    • Currency Conversion: SAP uses exchange rates to convert amounts between currencies during posting, reporting, and valuation.
    • Note: If the exchange rate is missing, SAP will ignore the conversion and post the amount as is, which can lead to incorrect financial data.

    Summary
