    The SAP error message THM_EXPOSURE055: Lower limit must be positive typically occurs in the context of Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) when dealing with exposure limits or risk management settings. This error indicates that a lower limit defined for a particular exposure or risk parameter is set to a non-positive value (zero or negative), which is not acceptable in the system.

    1. Check Configuration Settings:

      • Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system where exposure limits are defined.
