• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR_TEX1181 - BAdI returned an initial context ?

  The SAP error message FTR_TEX1181 indicates that a Business Add-In (BAdI) has returned an initial context, which means that the BAdI implementation did not provide the expected data or context for the operation being performed. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly in the context of financial transactions or treasury management.
