• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message THM_EXPOSURE073 - Exposure cannot be generated due to different calculation methods ?

  The SAP error message THM_EXPOSURE073 indicates that there is an issue with generating exposure due to differing calculation methods for the financial instruments involved. This typically occurs in the context of Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) within SAP, where different financial instruments may have different methods for calculating exposure, leading to inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Different Calculation Methods: The error arises when the system encounters financial instruments that are set up with different calculation methods for exposure. For example, one instrument may be using a cash flow-based method while another uses a market value-based method.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not aligned, leading to discrepancies in how exposures are calculated.
  Data Inconsistencies: Inconsistent or incorrect data entries for the financial instruments can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Calculation Methods: Check the configuration of the financial instruments involved. Ensure that they are using the same calculation method for exposure. This can typically be done in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) under Treasury and Risk Management settings.
  Standardize Instruments: If possible, standardize the calculation methods across the instruments that are being processed together. This may involve changing the settings for one or more instruments.
  Check Data Entries: Review the data entries for the financial instruments to ensure that they are correct and consistent. Look for any discrepancies that might be causing the issue.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the configuration of exposure calculation methods.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the exposure can now be generated without errors.
