Technically if you don't have the currency then you will get the error message on the currency column it self.

Seems something is on top of base BC. Try uninstalling added extensions and see if it works.

The Currency does not exist. Identification fields and values: Code=''

You’re seeing: “The Currency does not exist. Identification fields and values: Code=''”
That means the system is trying to use a currency, but the code is blank. Purchases work, sales don’t—so something on the sales side is pointing to an empty or missing currency.
Try these quick fixes:

Check your company’s default currency

Open General Ledger Setup → look at LCY Code.

It should be something like GBP, USD, etc.

If it’s empty, fill it in—that alone often fixes this.

Look at the Sales Invoice header

Check Currency Code.

If you’re billing in your local currency, it’s normal for this field to be blank in the UI. That’s fine—as long as LCY Code (step 1) is set.

If it’s a foreign currency, pick the actual code (e.g., EUR) from the list.

Check the Customer card

Open the customer on the invoice and make sure Currency Code is either blank (use LCY) or a real code that exists.

If someone deleted or renamed that currency, posting will fail.

Make sure the currency exists (for non-LCY invoices)

Go to Currencies and confirm the code is there.

If you use exchange rates, make sure there’s at least one valid Exchange Rate.

Thanks for the responses.

Got the customization response from a similar thread in the community, but was hoping there were other causes, since other companies on the system work fine.

We will debug on the Sandbox and revert.

Agreed with previous comments. It must be some customisation. You can try to debug the same in Sandbox environment and fix the cause.

Namaste @Nhyiraba

System will allow to post even though currency code is blank in Sales invoice . It considers the invoice as local currency transaction as in below image

Seems its customization on currency Code field , Kindly verify the same .

If you feel it helped , please verify the answer

May be a customization issue.

Do you have a screenshot or call stack of the error?
