  SAP Error Message:
  
  WH048 - ISO code & for currencies not found in system
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to process a currency code that is not defined or maintained in the SAP system. Specifically, the ISO currency code (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP) being referenced in a transaction or master data is missing from the currency table in SAP.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Posting or processing documents with a currency code that is not configured.
  Master data (like vendor, customer, or material master) contains a currency code not maintained in SAP.
  Integration with external systems passing currency codes that SAP does not recognize.
  Custom programs or interfaces using currency codes not defined in SAP.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Currency Code Maintenance:
  
  Go to transaction OB08 (Currency Exchange Rates) or TCURC (Currency Codes).
  Verify if the currency code mentioned in the error message is maintained.
  If not, create the currency code with the correct ISO code and description.
  
  
  
  Maintain Currency Exchange Rates:
  
  After adding the currency code, maintain the exchange rates in OB08 to ensure proper currency conversion.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify the currency fields in master data (customers, vendors, materials) to ensure they contain valid currency codes.
  
  
  
  Check Interfaces and Data Uploads:
  
  If the error occurs during data upload or interface processing, validate the currency codes in the source data.
  Correct or map invalid currency codes before posting.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If the currency code was recently added in a development system, ensure it is transported to the production system.
