SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create a new alternative exchange rate type (e.g., XX).
2. Assign the currency pairs (e.g., EUR -> XX).
3. Attempt to maintain the alternative exchange rate type in "Define Translation Ratios for Currencies".
4. Observe that the entry cannot be edited and the system displays the error message "Entry already exists with the same key (Message No. SV009) ".

The error occurs because there could not be 2 different entry for the same exchange rate type (Example - M: EUR -> XX)  in "Define Translation Ratios for Currencies" with the same validity date.

1. Do not attempt to create a second entry for the same exchange rate type in "Define Translation Ratios for Currencies" with the same validity date as this is not supported by the system design. 
2. Set up the alternative exchange rate type with a new validity date.
