• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR_TEX1331 - Select an exposure type as the default ?

  The SAP error message FTR_TEX1331 indicates that you need to select a default exposure type in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with financial instruments or treasury management.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system requires a default exposure type to be defined for processing certain transactions, but none has been set. Exposure types are used to categorize and manage different types of financial exposures, such as currency risk, interest rate risk, etc. Without a default exposure type, the system cannot proceed with the transaction.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to define a default exposure type in the relevant configuration settings. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Configuration Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Financial Supply Chain Management -> Treasury and Risk Management -> Risk Management -> Define Exposure Types.
  
  
  
  Define Exposure Types:
  
  In the exposure types configuration, ensure that you have defined the necessary exposure types that your organization uses.
  Select one of the exposure types as the default. This is typically done by marking it in the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Assign Default Exposure Type:
  
  If there is a specific transaction or area where the default exposure type needs to be set, ensure that it is assigned correctly in the relevant transaction settings.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, try to execute the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like OT53 (for exposure types) or FTR_CREATE (for creating financial transactions) depending on your specific needs.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on exposure types and their configuration.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the configuration settings.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further assistance, as there may be additional settings or dependencies that need to be addressed.
