4. Click on View All.
5. Navigate to the Document Flow tab.
6. Click the red icon representing the Process Communication Error.
7. You see error Service Order ABC cannot create a Purchase Request.

 Then, following these steps:

 You can see that the error is "Exchange rate XXX / YYY on ZZ/ZZ/ZZZZ missing for currency conversion" (XXX/YYY represents the currency and ZZ/ZZ/ZZZZ represents the date).

 However, you don't expect this currency conversion to be necessary for this scenario.

This happens because the fulfillment for the Sales/Service Order is External, so when the Purchase Request is created, the Seller (Of the Purchase Request) becomes the Supplier (From the Sales/Service Order), and the Buyer (Of the Purchase Request) becomes the Account (From the Sales/Service Order).
 
The default currency for the Supplier is XXX and that of Buyer is YYY, so the system requires the currency conversion to be maintained for tax calculations.

To prevent this issue in future cases, you will need to maintain the requested currency conversion. This can be done by following these steps:

1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
2. Click on the Edit Exchange Rates common task.
3. Click on Add Row.
4. Maintain the relevant information.

If this is already happening to a document, after performing these steps:

• If the currency for the item can still be changed you can solve the issue via a dummy change for the currency by changing the currency to any currency (Do not hit enter) and add the original currency again and now hit enter.
• Otherwise you will need to raise an incident to SAP detailing the Sales/Service Order ID so we can make this scenario consistent from a Backend perspective.
