Adding Categories

When you enter a new security, the Category field is used to indicate another level of classification in addition to the Product Class field. For example, a security with a Product Class value of Stock might be further classified as a Category of Preferred Stock. A security with a Product Class value of Bond might have a Category of Mortgage or Corporate Bond. Using Siebel Finance, you can add the categories that appear in the Category field.

The task is part of Setting Up Securities Lists of Values.

To add a security category

1. Navigate to the Administration - Data screen, and then the List of Values view.

2. Run a new query for Type = FINS_INVST_CATEGORY.

   The current FINS_INVST_CATEGORY records are returned with the existing list of values for the Category type.

3. In the List of Values list, add a record, and complete the necessary fields.
