• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS087 - Currency(iso) is initial ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_PROCESS087: Currency(iso) is initial
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a currency field that is expected to contain a valid ISO currency code is found to be empty (initial) during processing in SAP. Specifically, in the context of SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) or related modules, the system expects a currency code (like USD, EUR, etc.) to be filled in for certain financial or customs-related documents or data records. If this field is left blank or not properly populated, the system throws this error.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During the processing of customs declarations or trade documents in SAP GTS.
  When creating or updating financial or customs-related documents where currency information is mandatory.
  When interfacing data from external systems or during data migration where currency fields are missing.
  In scenarios involving pricing, valuation, or tax calculations where currency is required.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Currency Field:
  
  Identify the document or data record causing the error.
  Verify that the currency field (usually an ISO currency code) is populated correctly.
  The currency code should be a valid ISO 4217 code (e.g., USD, EUR, JPY).
  
  
  
  Data Correction:
  
  If the currency field is empty, update it with the correct currency code.
  This can be done manually in the transaction or via data correction tools if many records are affected.
  
  
  
  Master Data Verification:
  
  Check related master data (e.g., vendor, customer, material master, or condition records) to ensure currency fields are maintained properly.
  Sometimes missing currency in master data leads to this error during document processing.
  
  
  
  Interface/Data Upload Checks:
  
  If data is uploaded via interfaces or batch jobs, ensure the currency field is correctly mapped and populated.
  Validate the source data for completeness.
  
  
  
  Customizing and Configuration:
  
  Verify if the system configuration requires currency in the specific process step.
  Check if any user-exits or BAdIs are modifying currency fields incorrectly.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the cause is not obvious, debugging the process where the error occurs can help identify why the currency field is initial.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:  
  
  SAP GTS transactions related to customs processing (e.g., /SAPSLL/DECLARATION, /SAPSLL/PROCESS).
  FI transactions where currency is mandatory.
  
  
  
  Tables:  
  
  Currency codes are stored in table TCURC.
  Document tables will have currency fields (e.g., BKPF-WAERS for FI documents).
  
  
  
  Notes and Documentation:  
  
  Check SAP Notes related to WGDS_PROCESS087 for any patches or known issues.
  Review SAP GTS documentation on currency handling.
  
  
  
  Common Fields Involved:  
  
  Currency ISO code fields typically named WAERS or similar.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WGDS_PROCESS087 Currency(iso) is initial means the system expected a currency code but found none. The fix is to ensure that the currency field is correctly filled with a valid ISO currency code before processing the document or data record.
