  SAP Error Message WY783: Expiring Currency
  Message Text:
  
  The message WY783 typically indicates an issue related to an expiring currency in the system.
  
  
  Cause
  
  The error WY783 occurs when a currency that is about to expire or has expired is used in a transaction or master data.
  In SAP, currencies can have validity periods defined in the system (e.g., in the currency master data or exchange rate tables).
  If a currency's validity period ends (i.e., the currency is "expiring" or expired), and the system tries to process a transaction or document using that currency, the system raises this error.
  This is often related to the configuration or master data where the currency's validity dates are maintained incorrectly or have expired.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Currency Validity:
  
  Go to transaction OB08 (Exchange Rate Maintenance) or the relevant currency master data transaction.
  Verify the validity period of the currency in question.
  If the currency is expired or about to expire, update the validity dates to extend the currency's validity.
  
  
  
  Update Currency Master Data:
  
  Use transaction OB22 or OB08 to check and maintain currency exchange rates and validity.
  If the currency itself is obsolete or no longer valid (e.g., due to currency changes like the introduction of Euro replacing national currencies), consider using the correct current currency.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Note 2156166:
  
  SAP Note 2156166 provides specific instructions and corrections related to expiring currencies.
  It may include patches, program corrections, or configuration steps to handle expiring currencies properly.
  Apply the note as per your system's support package level and SAP version.
  
  
  
  System Settings:

  Consult SAP Support:
  
  If the problem persists after updating currency validity and applying SAP Note 2156166, contact SAP Support for further assistance.
