• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message THM_EXPOSURE268 - Start date of hedge rel. (&1) is after the end date &2 of the plan ?

  The SAP error message THM_EXPOSURE268 indicates that there is a mismatch in the dates for a hedge relationship in the Treasury and Risk Management module. Specifically, the start date of the hedge relationship is set after the end date of the associated plan. This can occur in scenarios where hedging instruments are being used to manage financial risks, and the dates must align correctly for the hedging strategy to be valid.
  Cause:
  
  Date Configuration: The start date of the hedge relationship is incorrectly configured to be later than the end date of the plan.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a manual entry error when setting up the hedge relationship or the plan.
  Plan Changes: The plan's end date may have been changed after the hedge relationship was created, leading to the current mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dates: Review the start and end dates of both the hedge relationship and the plan. Ensure that the start date of the hedge relationship is before or equal to the end date of the plan.
  Adjust Dates: If the dates are incorrect, adjust the start date of the hedge relationship or the end date of the plan as necessary to ensure they align correctly.
  Recreate Hedge Relationship: If the hedge relationship is significantly misconfigured, consider deleting and recreating it with the correct dates.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines for setting up hedge relationships to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  Related Information:
