  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSFP_MESSAGE020 Error converting currency &1
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This error occurs during currency conversion in SAP, typically when the system tries to convert an amount from one currency to another but fails. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the currency code involved in the conversion.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or incorrect exchange rate: The system cannot find a valid exchange rate for the currency pair and date in question.
  Invalid currency code: The currency code passed to the conversion function is not recognized or is incorrect.
  Exchange rate table not maintained: The exchange rate type or the relevant exchange rate is not maintained in the system.
  Date issues: The exchange rate for the specific date (posting date, document date, or conversion date) is not available.
  Configuration issues: Currency conversion settings or exchange rate types are not properly configured.
  
  
  Where It Occurs
  
  During document posting (FI, MM, SD)
  In currency conversion functions (e.g., function modules like CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT, CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT, or custom code)
  In reports or programs that perform currency conversions
  In workflows or interfaces involving currency conversion
  
  
  How to Analyze
  
  Check the currency code: Verify that the currency code passed is valid and active in the system (transaction OB08 or TCURC).
  Check exchange rates:  
  
  Use transaction OB08 to check if the exchange rate for the currency pair and date exists.
  Verify the exchange rate type used in the conversion.
  
  
  Check the date: Ensure the date for which the exchange rate is requested is correct and that an exchange rate exists for that date.
  Check configuration:  
  
  Verify exchange rate types in OBBS.
  Check if the currency conversion settings are correct.
  
  
  Check custom code: If the error occurs in custom programs, check the currency conversion logic and ensure proper error handling.
  
  
  Solution / Resolution
  
  Maintain exchange rates: Use transaction OB08 to maintain or update exchange rates for the relevant currency pairs and dates.
  Correct currency codes: Ensure the currency codes used are valid and active.
  Adjust date or exchange rate type: If the exchange rate for the specific date is missing, either maintain it or adjust the date or exchange rate type used.
  Check and correct configuration: Ensure exchange rate types and currency settings are properly configured.
  Enhance error handling: In custom code, add checks to handle missing exchange rates gracefully.
