  WRF_APC517 – Amount in supplier currency could not be converted into local currency
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the posting of an invoice or credit memo in SAP when the system is unable to convert the amount entered in the supplier's currency into the local currency of the company code. The main reasons include:
  
  Missing or incorrect exchange rate for the currency pair on the posting date.
  Exchange rate type used in the document is not maintained or incorrect.
  The posting date or document date is outside the validity period of the exchange rate.
  The currency conversion settings in the company code or vendor master data are incomplete or incorrect.
  The currency key or exchange rate type is not properly configured in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, perform the following checks and actions:
  
  
  Check Exchange Rates:
  
  Go to transaction OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates).
  Verify that the exchange rate between the supplier currency and the local currency exists for the posting date.
  If missing, maintain the correct exchange rate for the relevant date and exchange rate type.
  
  
  
  Verify Exchange Rate Type:
  
  Confirm which exchange rate type is used in the document (usually 'M' for standard rate).
  Ensure that this exchange rate type is maintained in OB08 for the currency pair and date.
  
  
  
  Check Posting Date:
  
  Ensure the posting date in the document is correct and falls within the validity period of the exchange rate.
  If the posting date is in the future or too far in the past, update the exchange rates accordingly.
  
  
  
  Vendor Master Data:
  
  Check the vendor master (transaction XK02 or FK02) for the currency settings.
  Ensure the vendor currency is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Company Code Currency:
  
  Verify the local currency of the company code (transaction OB22 or SPRO > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Company Code > Define Company Code).
  Confirm that the local currency is correctly set.
  
  
  
  Repost the Document:
  
  After correcting exchange rates or settings, repost the invoice or credit memo.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to currency conversion issues if the problem persists.
  
  
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  Always ensure exchange rates are maintained daily or as per business requirements.
  Use transaction S_ALR_87003642 to check exchange rate history.
  If multiple exchange rate types are used, ensure the correct one is assigned in the document.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  The error WRF_APC517 arises because SAP cannot find a valid exchange rate to convert the supplier currency amount into the local currency on the posting date. Maintaining the correct exchange rates in OB08 for the relevant date and exchange rate type usually resolves the issue.
