• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR_TEX1160 - Line item deletion possible only for unreleased exposures ?

  The SAP error message FTR_TEX1160 indicates that you are trying to delete a line item in the context of financial transactions (typically in the Treasury module) that has already been released. The message specifically states that line item deletion is only possible for unreleased exposures.
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to delete a line item that has been released in the system. In SAP Treasury, once an exposure (like a financial transaction or a hedge) is released, it is considered finalized and cannot be modified or deleted. This is a safeguard to maintain the integrity of financial data and reporting.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Exposure: Verify whether the exposure you are trying to delete is indeed released. You can do this by checking the transaction status in the relevant SAP transaction code (e.g., using transaction code FTR_EDIT or FTR_LIST).
  
  
  Unrelease the Exposure: If the exposure is released and you need to delete it, you may need to unrelease it first. This can typically be done through the same transaction where you check the status. Look for an option to "unrelease" or "reverse" the transaction.
  
  
  Delete the Line Item: Once the exposure is unreleased, you should be able to delete the line item without encountering the error.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process or if the exposure cannot be unreleased due to business rules, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If this is a recurring issue, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings in your SAP system related to exposure management and line item handling to ensure they align with your business processes.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches related to this error message, as there may be specific fixes or enhancements provided by SAP.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform actions like unreleasing or deleting exposures in the system.
