  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_RRLE051 - Currency determination procedure &1 not supported for document type &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WS_RRLE051 Currency determination procedure &1 not supported for document type &2


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs during document processing (e.g., posting, invoice verification, or other financial transactions) when the system tries to determine the currency for a document type, but the currency determination procedure assigned to the document type is not supported or not maintained in the system.

    • &1 = Currency determination procedure (e.g., a code like 01, 02, etc.)
    • &2 = Document type (e.g., KR, RE, etc.)

    The system expects a valid currency determination procedure for the document type, but the procedure assigned is either missing, incorrect, or not configured properly.


    Why does this happen?

    • The document type in customizing (transaction OBA7 or OB41) is assigned a currency determination procedure that is not supported or not maintained.
    • The currency determination procedure might be missing in the system or not linked to the document type.
    • Customizing inconsistency or incomplete configuration in Financial Accounting (FI) or Materials Management (MM) modules.
    • Sometimes, this can happen if a new document type is created but the currency determination procedure is not assigned or maintained.

    Where is this configured?

    • Currency determination procedure is maintained in SPRO under:
      • Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Document > Document Header > Define Currency Determination Procedure
    • Document types and their currency determination procedures are maintained in:
      • SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Document > Document Header > Define Document Types
      • Or via transaction OBA7 (for document types in FI)
    • In Materials Management (MM), document types and currency procedures are maintained in:
      • SPRO > Materials Management > Logistics Invoice Verification > Incoming Invoice > Define Document Types

    Solution / How to fix:

    1. Check the currency determination procedure assigned to the document type:

      • Use transaction OBA7 or navigate via SPRO to check the document type settings.
      • Verify which currency determination procedure is assigned to the document type &2.
    2. Verify if the currency determination procedure &1 exists and is properly configured:

      • Go to SPRO path mentioned above and check if the currency determination procedure &1 is defined.
      • If missing, define the currency determination procedure or assign a valid one.
    3. Assign a supported currency determination procedure to the document type:

      • If the assigned procedure is incorrect or unsupported, assign a valid currency determination procedure to the document type.
    4. Check for customizations or enhancements:

      • If custom document types or currency procedures are used, ensure they are fully configured.
      • Check if any user-exits or BAdIs are influencing currency determination.
    5. Test the document posting again after corrections.


    Additional Information:

    • Currency determination procedure controls how the system determines the currency for a document, e.g., company code currency, vendor currency, or transaction currency.
    • Common currency determination procedures include:
      • 01 = Document currency = Company code currency
      • 02 = Document currency = Vendor currency
      • etc.
    • Incorrect currency determination can lead to posting errors or incorrect currency postings.
