  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WH057 - No ISO code defined for currency code & ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WH057 - No ISO code defined for currency code &


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to process a currency code that does not have a corresponding ISO currency code defined in the SAP system. The placeholder "&" in the message will be replaced by the actual currency code causing the issue.

    In SAP, each currency code (e.g., USD, EUR) must have an associated ISO currency code defined in the system. If this mapping is missing, the system cannot correctly handle currency-related operations, leading to this error.


    When does it occur?

    • During warehouse management transactions involving currencies.
    • When posting or processing documents that require currency conversion or validation.
    • When interfacing with external systems or modules that require ISO currency codes.
    • During configuration or master data maintenance if currency codes are incomplete.

    Solution:

    1. Check Currency Code Configuration:

      • Go to transaction OBBS (Maintain Currency Codes).
      • Verify if the currency code in question exists.
      • Check if the ISO currency code is maintained for that currency.
    2. Maintain ISO Currency Code:

      • If missing, maintain the ISO currency code for the currency.
      • The ISO code is usually a 3-character standard code (e.g., USD, EUR, JPY).
      • Save the changes.
    3. Verify Currency Master Data:

      • Use transaction TCURC to check currency codes and their ISO equivalents.
      • Ensure that the currency code used in the document or process is valid and active.
    4. Check Customizing for Warehouse Management:

      • Sometimes, the error can be related to warehouse management customizing.
      • Verify if the currency codes used in WM settings are properly maintained.
    5. Transport Changes:

      • If changes are made in a development system, ensure they are transported to quality and production systems.

    Additional Information:

    • ISO currency codes are standardized by ISO 4217.
    • SAP relies on these codes for currency conversion, reporting, and integration.
    • Missing or incorrect currency codes can cause issues in financial postings, reporting, and interfacing.
    • Always ensure currency codes are consistent across all SAP modules (FI, MM, SD, WM).

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error WH057 - No ISO code defined for currency code &
    Cause Missing ISO currency code for a currency in SAP configuration
    Solution Maintain the ISO currency code in transaction OBBS or TCURC
    Related Transactions OBBS, TCURC, SPRO (for customizing)
    Notes Ensure currency codes are consistent and valid across SAP modules

    If you continue to face issues after maintaining the ISO code, check for any custom code or interfaces that might be using non-standard currency codes.
