• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS309 - Local currency of company code missing (no statistical updates) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS309 - Local currency of company code missing (no statistical updates)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the local currency for a company code has not been maintained in the system. The local currency is essential for posting and statistical updates in financial transactions. Without it, SAP cannot perform currency conversions or generate correct financial reports.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Each company code in SAP must have a defined local currency (also called company code currency).
  The local currency is used for all postings and reporting within that company code.
  If this currency is missing or not maintained, SAP throws the WS309 error during posting or statistical update processes.
  
  
  How to Check:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Definition ? Financial Accounting ? Edit, Copy, Delete, Check Company Code.
  Or directly via transaction OBY6 (Company Code Global Parameters).
  Check the field Local Currency for the company code in question.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain the local currency for the company code:
  
  Use transaction OBY6.
  Enter the company code.
  Maintain the Local Currency field with the appropriate currency key (e.g., USD, EUR).
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  After maintaining the local currency, retry the posting or process that caused the error.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The local currency is critical for financial postings, currency translation, and reporting.
  The error WS309 is often encountered during FI postings, asset accounting, or statistical postings where currency information is mandatory.
  If the company code was recently created or copied, ensure that the local currency was correctly set during the creation process.
  If multiple company codes are involved, verify each one has a local currency maintained.
