• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS311 - Document currency of document & missing (no statistics update) ?

  The SAP error message WS311: Document currency of document & missing (no statistics update) typically occurs during financial document processing, especially in the context of posting or updating accounting documents.
  
  Cause
  
  The error indicates that the document currency field in the accounting document is either missing or not properly maintained.
  This missing currency information prevents the system from updating statistical data related to the document.
  It often happens when:
  
  The currency field is left blank during document entry.
  The currency is not determined correctly due to configuration issues.
  The document is created via a custom program or interface that does not populate the currency field.
  The document type or transaction does not have a default currency assigned or the currency is not passed correctly.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Document Currency Field:
  
  Verify that the document currency is entered correctly in the accounting document.
  If posting manually, ensure the currency field is filled.
  If posting via interface or program, check the data mapping to ensure currency is passed.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the currency settings in the company code master data (transaction OBY6).
  Ensure the company code has a default currency assigned.
  Verify the document type configuration to ensure currency is handled properly.
  
  
  
  Correct the Document:
  
  If the document is already posted but missing currency, you may need to reverse and repost with correct currency.
  Alternatively, use transaction FB02 to check document details (though currency field is usually not editable after posting).
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Interfaces:
  
  If the document is created via custom programs or interfaces (IDocs, BAPIs), ensure the currency field is correctly populated.
  Debug or analyze the program to fix missing currency assignment.
  
  
  
  Update Statistics:
  
  Once the currency is correctly maintained, the system can update the statistical data without error.
