  The SAP error message FTBBYC121, which states "Enter different tenors to define a tenor spread," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions involving interest rate instruments, such as swaps or other derivatives. This error indicates that the system expects you to define a spread between different tenors (maturities) but has detected that the tenors you have entered are the same or not appropriately defined.
  Cause:
  
  Identical Tenors: The most common cause of this error is that the user has entered the same tenor for both the start and end points of the spread. For example, if you are trying to create a tenor spread between 1 year and 1 year, the system will not allow this because there is no spread to define.

  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the financial instruments in the SAP system that do not allow for the proper definition of tenor spreads.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Tenor Inputs: Review the tenors you have entered and ensure that they are different. For example, if you want to define a spread between 1 year and 2 years, make sure you enter 1Y and 2Y, respectively.
  Correct Format: Ensure that the tenors are entered in the correct format as expected by the system (e.g., 1Y for 1 year, 6M for 6 months).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are working on for any additional requirements or examples.
  System Configuration: If you believe the inputs are correct and the error persists, consult with your SAP administrator or technical team to check if there are any configuration issues that need to be addressed.
