Deal Management Dashboard

The Deal Management Dashboard hosts the following charts:

• Investment Mix

• Debt Mix

• Fixed versus Floating Rate Investments

• Fixed versus Floating Rate Debt

• Open Foreign Exchange Contracts

You access the Dashboard Configuration - Deals page to identify the type of data that you want to display on Deal dashboards. This configuration requires that you enter a start and end date and then select a previously defined time interval. You select the time interval and apply a previously defined calendar to this interval. You also enter the number of days that would classify an investment/debt as short term, select the currency that you want to display on each of the Deal Management dashboards, and select the exchange rate information.

Investment Mix

The Investment Mix chart can be used to compare the amounts of an organization's long and short term investments based on the time interval selected and the number of days that classify an investment as short term entered when you set up the configuration for this dashboard. An organization's investments may include long and short term investment deals in various forms of securities. These data are derived from investments that are set up for an organization in PeopleSoft Deal Management.

Debt Mix

The Debt Mix chart can be used to compare the amounts of long term and short term debt held by your organization based on the time series that you select and the number of days that you enter that qualify a debt as short term on the Dashboard Configuration - Deals page.

Fixed versus Floating Rate Investments

An investment that earns money based on a fixed interest rate means that the amount of interest earned on the investment by the organization is based on an interest rate that typically stays the same over the life of the investment. An investment that earns money based on a floating interest rate means that the amount of interest earned on the investment over the life of the investment changes periodically.

The Fixed versus Floating Rate Investments chart displays the organization's investments in fixed interest rate earning investments, and floating interest rate earning investments over a specific period of time. This time period is based on a time series that you select for this dashboard on the Dashboard Configuration - Deals page.

Fixed versus Floating Rate Debt

The Fixed versus Floating Rate Debt chart displays an organization's borrowings on fixed rate basis and floating rate basis over a specified period of time. This time period is based on a time series that you select for this dashboard on the Dashboard Configuration - Deals page.

Detail information appears in a grid when you click the chart.

Open Foreign Exchange Contracts

A foreign exchange contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specified amount of foreign currency on a fixed date and rate of exchange. These contracts are used usually by importers as a hedge against exchange rate inflation. The Open Foreign Exchange Contracts chart displays the amount of open foreign currency exchange contract bought or sold by an organization.
