APAR status

Error description

• A restricted user that has company security group settings
  applied and
  don't have access to company A101 is defined. When user enter
  data in form,
  he can select counter company code as A101.
  
  When user want to add historical rate table by specify the
  counter company, it doesn't show A101 in the list.
  

Local fix

• Workaround is to allow a group controller with no limitations to
  enter historical rates in this menu.
  Another workaround  is to allow this user to enter data on a
  more aggregated level (no split by counter-company).
