• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR_TRADE_REP131 - Same TRADE-ID for trans &1 / &2 of a SWAP ; Short Term. must be 'OBSOLET' ?

  The SAP error message FTR_TRADE_REP131 indicates that there is a conflict with the TRADE-ID for two transactions related to a SWAP in the Short Term. Specifically, it suggests that the TRADE-ID for the two transactions must be marked as 'OBSOLET' (obsolete) to resolve the issue.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions involving swaps, where two transactions are trying to use the same TRADE-ID. In SAP, each trade should have a unique identifier, and if two transactions are attempting to reference the same TRADE-ID, it leads to a conflict. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate Entries: Two transactions may have been created with the same TRADE-ID inadvertently.
  Incorrect Transaction Processing: There may have been an error in the processing of transactions that led to the same TRADE-ID being assigned.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, it might have resulted in duplicate TRADE-IDs.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Transactions: Use the transaction codes (e.g., FTR_EDIT) to find the transactions associated with the TRADE-ID mentioned in the error message. Check the details of both transactions to understand why they are conflicting.
  
  
  Mark One Transaction as Obsolete: If you determine that one of the transactions is indeed a duplicate or no longer needed, you can mark it as 'OBSOLET'. This can typically be done in the transaction management screen by selecting the transaction and choosing the option to mark it as obsolete.
  
  
  Adjust TRADE-IDs: If both transactions are valid and necessary, consider adjusting the TRADE-IDs to ensure they are unique. This may involve creating a new TRADE-ID for one of the transactions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific instructions on how to handle TRADE-IDs in your version of SAP.
