• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTI_LDB_MESSAGE114 - More than one rate maintained for sec ID &1 on &2. Selection is random. ?

  The SAP error message FTI_LDB_MESSAGE114 indicates that there are multiple exchange rates maintained for a specific security ID on a given date. This situation can arise in financial transactions where the system expects a single exchange rate for a particular security on a specific date, but finds multiple rates instead.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Exchange Rates: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple exchange rates defined for the same security ID on the same date in the system. This can happen due to:
  
  Manual entries of exchange rates that were not properly managed.
  Data imports or uploads that introduced duplicate rates.
  Changes in market conditions leading to different rates being recorded.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the configuration settings in the system may allow for multiple rates to be entered without proper validation.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Exchange Rates:
  
  Go to the transaction code where you can view exchange rates (e.g., transaction OB08).
  Look for the specific security ID and the date mentioned in the error message.
  Identify all the exchange rates that are maintained for that security ID on that date.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicates:
  
  If you find multiple rates, determine which rate is correct or should be used.
  Delete or adjust the unnecessary or incorrect rates to ensure that only one valid rate exists for that security ID on that date.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that your data entry processes are consistent and that there are checks in place to prevent duplicate entries in the future.
  If the rates are imported from an external source, review the import process to ensure it does not introduce duplicates.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that might be causing this issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved and that the correct exchange rate is being applied.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates) and FTR_EDIT (Edit Financial Transaction) to manage exchange rates effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles: Ensure that users who maintain exchange rates have the appropriate roles and authorizations to prevent unauthorized changes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your exchange rate data is accurate and consistent.
