• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WH049 - More than one SAP currency code exists for ISO code & ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WH049: More than one SAP currency code exists for ISO code &:
  
  Error Message
  WH049: More than one SAP currency code exists for ISO code &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when SAP finds more than one internal SAP currency code assigned to the same ISO currency code during a process that requires a unique mapping between ISO currency codes and SAP currency codes.
  
  SAP internally uses currency keys (e.g., USD, EUR) to represent currencies.
  Each ISO currency code (like USD, EUR, GBP) should correspond to exactly one SAP currency key.
  If multiple SAP currency keys are assigned to the same ISO currency code, SAP cannot determine which currency key to use, causing this error.
  
  This situation often arises due to:
  
  Custom currencies created in the system with the same ISO code as a standard currency.
  Incorrect or inconsistent currency configuration in the system.
  Data inconsistencies in currency master data.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During goods movements, inventory valuation, or financial postings involving currencies.
  When SAP tries to convert or validate currency codes.
  When using functions or reports that rely on currency code mapping.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Currency Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction OB08 (Currency Exchange Rates) or TCURC (Currency Codes).
  Verify the list of currencies and their ISO codes.
  Identify if there are multiple SAP currency keys assigned to the same ISO currency code.
  
  
  
  Identify Duplicate Currency Keys:
  
  Use transaction TCURC to list all currencies.
  Filter or search for the ISO currency code mentioned in the error.
  Check if more than one SAP currency key has the same ISO code.
  
  
  
  Resolve the Duplicate:
  
  If duplicates exist, decide which currency key should be retained.
  Remove or deactivate the duplicate currency keys if they are not needed.
  If the duplicate currency keys are required for some reason, consider changing the ISO code of the custom currency to a unique value (if possible).
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure that master data (material master, vendor master, customer master) does not reference the wrong or duplicate currency keys.
  Correct any master data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made in a development or test system, transport them to production carefully.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to currency code mapping.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Transaction TCURC: Used to maintain currency codes and their ISO codes.
  Transaction OB08: Used to maintain exchange rates between currencies.
  Currency Key: SAP internal currency identifier (e.g., USD, EUR).
  ISO Currency Code: International standard currency code (e.g., USD, EUR).
  
  
  Example
  Suppose you have two currency keys:
  
  
  
  Currency Key
  ISO Code
  
  
  
  
  USD
  USD
  
  
  USX
  USD
  
  
  
  This will cause the error because SAP cannot decide whether to use USD or USX for the ISO code USD.
  
  Summary
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Description
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Multiple SAP currency keys assigned to the same ISO currency code.
  
  
  Effect
  SAP cannot uniquely identify the currency, causing errors in currency-related processes.
  
  
  Solution
  Identify and remove or correct duplicate currency keys in transaction TCURC.
  
  
  Tools
  TCURC (Currency Codes), OB08 (Exchange Rates), SAP Notes for further guidance.
