• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS228 - No document currency was entered ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS228 - No document currency was entered
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to post a financial document in SAP without specifying the document currency. The document currency is a mandatory field in financial postings because it defines the currency in which the transaction is recorded. If this field is left blank or not properly filled, SAP throws the WS228 error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During manual document entry in transaction codes like FB50, FB01, or similar financial posting transactions.
  When uploading or interfacing financial documents via batch input or IDocs where the document currency field is missing.
  In custom programs or user exits where document currency is not set or passed correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter Document Currency:
  
  When posting the document, ensure that the Document Currency field is filled in.
  This is usually the currency in which the transaction is recorded (e.g., EUR, USD).
  
  
  
  Check Default Currency Settings:
  
  Verify the default currency settings in the company code master data (transaction OX02).
  The company code currency is often used as the default document currency if none is entered.
  
  
  
  Review Input Methods:
  
  If using batch input or interfaces, check the data source to ensure the document currency field is populated.
  Adjust the mapping or data extraction logic to include the currency.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If custom code is involved, verify that the document currency is correctly assigned before posting.
