• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS091 - Scale_curr_iso is initial ?

  The SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS091: Scale_curr_iso is initial typically occurs in the context of SAP Global Trade Services (GTS), specifically during customs or trade document processing where currency scale information is expected but missing.
  
  Cause
  
  The error "Scale_curr_iso is initial" indicates that the system expects a currency scale value (usually related to the ISO currency code or the decimal places for currency amounts) but finds it empty or uninitialized.
  This usually happens when the currency or its scale (number of decimal places) is not properly maintained or passed in the relevant data structure during processing.
  It can occur during:
  
  Customs declaration processing
  Document processing in SAP GTS
  Data transfer between SAP ERP and SAP GTS where currency information is incomplete
  
  
  The field Scale_curr_iso refers to the scale (decimal places) for the currency ISO code, which is essential for correct amount calculations and formatting.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Currency Master Data:
  
  Verify that the currency involved in the transaction is correctly maintained in SAP.
  Use transaction OB08 or TCURX to check the currency decimal places.
  Ensure the currency ISO code is valid and active.
  
  
  
  Check Data Transfer and Mapping:
  
  If the error occurs during data transfer between SAP ERP and SAP GTS, check the interface mapping.
  Ensure that the currency and its scale are correctly mapped and transferred.
  Review IDocs or BAPIs involved in the process for missing currency scale data.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing in SAP GTS:
  
  In SAP GTS, check the customizing settings related to currency and amount processing.
  Ensure that the system is configured to handle the currency scale properly.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have development access, debug the process where the error occurs.
  Check where the Scale_curr_iso field is filled and why it remains initial.
  Look for missing or incorrect data assignments.
