• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message THMHR_ADMIN015 - Option on swap &1 in company code &2 can only hedge interest rate risk ?

  The SAP error message THMHR_ADMIN015 indicates that there is a restriction on the hedging options available for a specific swap in a given company code. The message states that the option on the swap can only be used to hedge interest rate risk, which means that the configuration or the type of financial instrument you are trying to use is limited to that specific risk type.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The swap may be configured in such a way that it is only allowed to hedge interest rate risks. This could be due to the settings in the financial instruments configuration in SAP Treasury and Risk Management (TRM).
  Instrument Type: The type of financial instrument you are using may inherently be designed for interest rate hedging only, and not for other types of risks (like currency risk or commodity risk).
  Company Code Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions or settings at the company code level that limit the types of hedging that can be performed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the financial instrument in SAP. Ensure that the swap is set up correctly and that it is intended for the type of hedging you want to perform.
  Change Instrument Type: If you need to hedge a different type of risk (e.g., currency risk), consider using a different financial instrument that is designed for that purpose.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to Treasury and Risk Management to understand the limitations and configurations for swaps and hedging.
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue through configuration changes, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide guidance based on your specific system setup and requirements.
