What causes this issue?

You have set the <LS>Select Netting Groups</> indicator, but you have
also entered an expected exposure type that ignores the assignment of
financial transactions to netting groups. This parameter combination is
not allowed.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you want to maintain expected exposures on the netting group level,
set the <LS>Select Netting Groups</> indicator and enter an expected
exposure type that does not ignore the assignment of financial
transactions to netting groups.
If you want to maintain expected exposures while ignoring the netting
groups, enter an expected exposure type that ignores the assignment of
financial transactions to netting groups. In this case, netting groups
are irrelevant, and expected exposures can be maintained on the level
of single financial transactions. For this reason, you do not set the
<LS>Select Netting Groups</> indicator.
