• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 87004 - Exchange rates for date & already exist (Read Only). ?

  The SAP error message "87004 Exchange rates for date & already exist (Read Only)" typically occurs when you attempt to enter or modify exchange rates in the system for a date where exchange rates have already been defined. This message indicates that the exchange rate data for the specified date is already present in the system and is set to read-only, meaning it cannot be changed or overwritten.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Exchange Rate: The primary cause of this error is that there is already an exchange rate entry for the specified date in the system.
  Read-Only Status: The existing entry may be marked as read-only, preventing any modifications.
  Data Entry Error: You may be trying to enter a new exchange rate for a date that is already covered by an existing entry.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Rates: 
  
  Navigate to the transaction code for maintaining exchange rates (e.g., OB08).
  Check if there is already an entry for the date you are trying to modify. If so, you can either:
  
  Use the existing rate.
  Delete the existing entry if it is incorrect (if you have the necessary permissions).
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify the Date: 
  
  If you need to enter a new exchange rate, consider using a different date that does not have an existing entry.
  
  
  
  Review Permissions: 
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify exchange rates. If you do not have the required access, contact your SAP administrator.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on managing exchange rates.
