This chapter covers the following topics:
This section explains how to enter money market deals, including:
Short Term Money
Retail Term Money
Wholesale Term Money
Intercompany Funding
Negotiable Securities
Derivatives
These deal types are the basic building blocks for any treasury deal. You can use each deal type as is, or you can combine several deal types to create a more complex deal.
This section describes the deals that you perform when you borrow or invest funds on a short-term basis.
Short term money, also referred to as call cash, is money that is either loaned or borrowed for a very short period of time, such as short term funding, straight loan, money market, and overnight cash. For short term money deals, a party to the deal can request payment with same day, one day, or two days notice.
Each time you renegotiate or rollover a deal, you can repay all or part of the principal, increase the principal, or reset the interest rate and term. You can also choose to settle or compound the interest.
Each short term money deal can consist of one or more transactions. The window contains two main regions:
The Common Deal Details region of the window contains general information that identifies the deal.
The Current Transactions for Above Cparty and the Trans History for Above Cparty tabbed regions list individual transactions associated with the deal that you identify in the Common Deal Details area of the window.
See the following topics to define and manage your short term money deals.
Before you can work with a short term money deal, you must identify or enter the common deal information in the Common Deal Details region of the window. To identify predefined short term money deals, query the combination of deal subtype, company, counterparty, portfolio, client, year basis, and currency for a deal. If you query a specific combination and find it does not exist, you can enter that combination in the Common Deal Details region and continue to work with the deal.
Use the Short Term Money window to identify or enter the common deal details for a short term money deal.
In the Common Deal Details region of the Short Term Money window either query the short term money deal or complete the fields as required.
Any deals that match either your query criteria or the fields you completed, appear in the Current Transactions for Above and Trans History for Above Cparty tabbed regions of the window.
If no pre-existing deal matches the fields you entered, then a short term money deal with that criteria does not exist. To create a short term money deal with the specified criteria, save your work.
Once you query or add the common deal details you can enter the details for your short-term money deals. See: Transaction Details for Short Term Money Deals.
After you query or save the common deal details for a short term money deal, you can work with the transactions that comprise the deal. You can enter the transaction details for short term money deals using the Short Term Money window or the Quick Deals window.
Use the Short Term Money window to enter the transaction details for your short term money deals.
For short term money (ONC), you can calculate flat tax on the interest amount (INS_F), annual tax on the principal amount (PRN_A), and flat tax on the principal amount (PRN_F).
Identify or add general deal information. See: Common Details for Short Term Money Deals.
Navigate to the Short Term Money window.
In the Common Deal Details region, choose the deal that you want to enter a transaction for, then choose the Transactions button. The Transaction Details window appears. The Dealer field is automatically populated based on the application user login. The Deal Status field is CURRENT for new deals, and the Deal Date field is populated with the current system date.

If you want to apply a limit to the transaction, in the Limit field choose a limit.
Choose the Interest Details tabbed region and complete the following fields as necessary:
Interest Rate: Enter the interest rate that applies to the transaction.
Note: The interest rate field is mandatory. Once you save the short term money transaction details, you cannot change the deal interest rate unless the deal interest rate is zero. Therefore, if you do not know the deal interest rate at the time of deal entry, enter an interest rate of zero. Then, when you find out the interest rate, you can re-query your transaction, enter the interest rate and re-save.
Interest Amount: If you want to override the system calculated interest amount, enter a new interest amount. You can only add an interest amount if a Maturity Date is specified for the deal. Maturity Dates are specified in the Main Details tabbed region.
Note: You can only override interest amounts if you have the appropriate user access levels. See: User Access Levels.
System Interest: The total accrued interest for the transaction as calculated by the system.
Interest Rounding: The interest rounding method. The possible choices are: Nearest, Round Up, or Round Down.

In the Reneg Date field, enter the date that you want to renegotiate the deal transaction. The default date is either the transaction maturity date or the current system date.
In the Accrued Interest field, the total amount of accrued interest appears. You can override this calculated interest amount by entering a new interest amount. The System Interest field shows the original interest amount calculated by the system.
Note: You can only override interest amounts if you have the appropriate user access levels. See: User Access Levels.
In the Interest Action field, select the action you want to perform for the interest that has accrued to date. If the transaction has prepaid interest, the interest action defaults to None and is not updateable.
In the Client Settle Via field, choose a method that the client will use to settle the interest on the transaction.
In the Principal Action field, choose the action that you want to perform on the principal. The choices are:

Use intercompany funding deals to centrally manage the debt and investment relationships between a company and the parties (either companies or counterparties) that are part of its intercompany group.
If you enter into an intercompany funding deal with another company, journal entries are automatically created for both companies. If you enter into an intercompany funding deal with a counterparty, journal entries are only created for the company.
Note: If you enter into a company to company intercompany funding deal, and the two companies in the deal use a different chart of accounts structure, those companies will generate very different journal entries. If you plan to enter into company to company intercompany funding deals, ensure that you define the journal entry actions for the IG deal type for each company correctly. Consult a functional accounting person to determine the correct journal entry structure for your company to company intercompany funding deals.
You define the way that journal entries are generated for each company in the Journal Entry Actions window (see: Journal Entry Actions). All journal entries that are generated for intercompany funding deals can be posted to General Ledger using the Daily Journals window (see: Daily Journals).
Use the Bank Account Interest Rates window to set up the default interest rates that you want to use for your intercompany funding deals. There are two types of intercompany interest rates that you can define:
Global interest rates are the default intercompany funding interest rates for a company and account balance range.
Specific interest rates are the default intercompany funding interest rates for a combination of company, party, currency, and account balance range. If an applicable specific interest rate exists, that rate is used in place of any global interest rates that may exist.
In the Intercompany Funding window, choose the company that you want to define an intercompany interest rate.
If you want to define a global interest rate, choose the Global Interest button. The Bank Account Interest Rates window appears.
If you want to define a specific interest rate, choose the party and the currency that you want to set a rate for and choose the Specific Interest button. The Bank Account Interest Rates window appears.
In the Effective Date field, enter the date that you want the rate to become effective on.
In the Account Balance Low and the Account Balance High fields, specify the balance range that you want the interest rate to apply to. For example, 100 to 1,000,000.00.
Tip: To effectively set up intercompany interest rates, ensure that the value in the Account Balance Low field as close as possible to the value in the Account Balance High field of the preceding rate. For example, if you set the Account Balance High value for one range as $1,000,000.00, set the Account Balance Low value for the following range as $1,000,000.01.
In the Interest Rate field, enter the default interest rate for the balance range.
Repeat steps 1 to 6 for each global or specific intercompany interest rate you want to set up.
Save your work.
Use the Intercompany Funding window to record intercompany funding deals between a company and parties that are part of the company's intercompany group.

In the Intercompany Party field, choose the deal party. The party must be part of the company's intercompany group.
If you choose another company, journal entries are generated for both companies in the deal. The default bank account number for the intercompany party appears in the Party Account field.
If you do not want to use the default account, currency, day count basis, or interest rate for the deal, change the values as required.
The default interest rate for an intercompany funding deal defaults in based on the predefined global interest rate (for a company and balance combination), or on a specific interest rate (for a company, party, currency, and balance combination). To view the global interest rates for the company, choose the Global Rates button. To view the specific interest rates for the company, choose the Specific Rates button. For more information on setting up global and specific interest rates, see: Setting Up Intercompany Interest Rates.

A cash pool can only group accounts of the same currency for parties in the same intercompany group. To create an intercompany cash pool, create a notional cash pool for your intercompany group. For more information, see Cash Leveling in Oracle Cash Management.
Wholesale term money deals are used to borrow large amounts from banks and institutions, rather than from small investors. Examples of wholesale term money deals include promissory notes and private debt placements. These types of deals can be fixed or floating rate and are generally not exchanged.
You can automatically reset the floating rates in your wholesale term money deals by setting a benchmark rate and a margin and then running the Reset Floating (Benchmarked) Rates program. For more information, see: Reset Floating (Benchmarked) Rates.

Retail term money is a deposit or loan that has regular payments over a period of time, such as interest only, or principal and interest. Some retail term money deals have other fees, such as establishment fees that can increase the total amount of the deal. This increase does not generate cash flows, but it does increase the amount of the deal. Mortgages, sinking funds, and hire purchases are all examples of retail term money deals.
Repayment terms for retail term money differ from all other deal types. The due dates for retail term money deals are only forecast dates (except for principal adjustments). The forecast date and the split between the interest and the principal are calculated automatically, so when you actually receive funds, the split is recalculated to apply funds to outstanding interest up until the date when the funds are received. The balance is then applied to the outstanding principal. The repayment of funds is tracked through the bank reconciliation process, which automatically updates the transaction rows for retail deposits and advances, and sets the dates for settlement. The transaction is then ready to post journal entries.
