  Error Message
  WSTI009: POS currency missing (company code currency will be used)
  
  Cause
  This message occurs when the system expects a Point of Sale (POS) currency to be specified in a transaction or data record, but it is missing or not maintained. As a result, the system defaults to using the company code currency instead.
  This typically happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Retail or POS integration where currency information is critical.
  Data transfer or posting where the POS currency field is empty or not populated.
  Configuration or master data missing the currency assignment for POS transactions.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  POS currency refers to the currency in which the POS transaction is conducted, which may differ from the company code currency.
  If the POS currency is missing, the system cannot process the transaction in the intended currency.
  To avoid errors or inconsistencies, SAP uses the company code currency as a fallback.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check POS Currency Configuration:
  
  Verify that the POS currency is correctly maintained in the relevant master data or transaction data.
  For retail scenarios, check the POS terminal or store master data to ensure the currency is assigned.
  
  
  
  Maintain Currency in Transaction Data:
  
  Ensure that the currency field in the POS transaction or interface data is populated.
  If you are uploading or interfacing data, validate that the currency field is not blank.
  
  
  
  Adjust System Settings if Needed:
  
  If the business process allows, confirm that using the company code currency as a fallback is acceptable.
  Otherwise, correct the missing currency data to avoid the fallback.
  
  
  
  Check Integration and Interfaces:
  
  For interfaces between POS systems and SAP, verify that currency data is correctly mapped and transferred.
