• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message THM_EXPOSURE179 - Do not enter exposure ID and transaction group simultaneously ?

  The SAP error message THM_EXPOSURE179 indicates that there is a conflict in the input data when trying to process exposure data. Specifically, the error arises when both an exposure ID and a transaction group are entered simultaneously in a transaction or report, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system is designed to handle either an exposure ID or a transaction group, but not both at the same time. This is likely due to the way the underlying logic is structured in the SAP application, where each input type is expected to be mutually exclusive to avoid ambiguity in processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that you only enter one of the two fields:
  
  If you want to work with a specific exposure, enter the exposure ID and leave the transaction group field blank.
  If you want to work with a group of transactions, enter the transaction group and leave the exposure ID field blank.
