   Calculation Type	Select where the margin required is calculated, for this margin type. This field is disabled and not applicable, if Margin Type selected is ‘Variation Margin’ If ‘Internal’ is selected, then margin is calculated internally in Oracle Banking Treasury Management If ‘External’ is selected, then margin required is calculated and received from an external system This field is set to ‘External’ by default

This field is disabled and not applicable, if Margin Type selected is ‘Variation Margin’ Select ‘Standard Rate(%)’ or ‘Flat Amount’ if Calculation Type is ‘Internal’ Details about how OBTR calculates margin using these methods is explained in the description for ‘Margin Applicable’ field below Select ‘SPAN', 'SIMM', 'GRID', ‘Standard Rate(%)’ or ‘Flat Amount’ if Calculation Type is ‘External’ If Calculation Type is ‘External’, Calculation Method selected is only for information and reporting purposes and OBTR is not calculating margin using these methods This field is set to ‘Standard Rate(%)’ by default
   Applied From	Select the date from which margin call is triggered for this margin type, for the transactions in scope of this calculation setup. If ‘Trade Date’ is selected, then margin required is re-calculated and margin call is triggered from the trade date of the transaction itself If ‘TD + 1’ is selected, then margin required is re-calculated and margin call is triggered from the next day after the trade date of the transaction If ‘Value Date’ is selected, then margin required is re-calculated and margin call is triggered from the value date of the transaction after it is initiated If VD + 1 is selected, then margin required is re-calculated and margin call is triggered from the next day after the value date of the transaction after it is initiated If the transaction is back dated, then the margin call is triggered from the booking date of the transaction ‘Trade Date’ is set by default, if not specified
   Exposure Type	Select the amount to be considered as exposure for this margin type for the transactions in scope of this calculation setup. This field is disabled and not applicable, if Margin Type selected is ‘Variation Margin’ or if Calculation Method selected is ‘Flat Amount’ If ‘Market Value’ is selected, then current market value or market price * quantity or contract fair value of the transaction (as applicable) is considered as the exposure If ‘Principal’ is selected, then the current principal or notional or deal value or deal nominal amount of the transaction (as applicable) is considered as the exposure If ‘Maturity Amount’ is selected, then the settlement amount or principal + interest or notional + interest as on the maturity date of the transaction (as applicable) is considered as the exposure If ‘Contract Value’ is selected, then the principal or net consideration or deal price * quantity or deal premium of the transaction (as applicable) is considered as the exposure ‘Principal’ is set by default, if not specified
   Offsetting Allowed	Select whether exposure booked in opposite directions within the same group can be offset, to arrive at the net exposure for margin calculation purposes for this margin type. This field is disabled and not applicable, if Margin Type selected is ‘Variation Margin’ or if Calculation Method selected is ‘Flat Amount’ or if Calculation Level selected is ‘Trade’ If ‘Not Allowed’ is selected, then the exposure in opposite directions is considered as absolute exposures and added together without considering the direction Example: For a Long 10,000 and Short 7,000, Net Exposure = 17,000 If ‘Product’ is selected, then exposures from all the transactions in a Product is netted together considering the direction Example: For a Long 10,000 and Short 7,000 in the same product, Net Exposure = 3,000 If ‘Position’ is selected, then exposures from all the transactions with the same Instrument and Portfolio is netted together considering the direction If ‘Risk Type’ is selected, then exposures from all the transactions with the same Risk type is netted together considering the direction If ‘Module’ is selected, then exposures from all the transactions in the same Module is netted together considering the direction ‘Product’ is set by default, if not specified

This field is mandatory if Calculation Level selected is ‘Portfolio / Product’ This field is set to Contract Currency ‘CCY’ by default, if Calculation Level selected is ‘Trade’ Exposure in different currencies are converted to the margin currency equivalent for arriving at the final exposure for margin calculation purposes
   Margin Applicable	Specify the applicable margin as flat amount or % of the final exposure to calculate the margin required for this margin type. This field is disabled and not applicable, if Margin Type selected is ‘Variation Margin’ or if Calculation Type selected is ‘External’ If Calculation Method selected is ‘Standard Rate(%)’, then Margin Required = Adjusted Exposure * Margin Applicable /100 Example: If Adjusted Exposure = 115,000 and with margin applicable = 35%, Margin Required = 115,000 * 35/100 = 40,250 If Calculation Method selected is ‘Flat Amount’, then Margin Required = Margin Applicable Example: If Margin Applicable = 35,000, Margin Required = 35,000 if not specified, ‘0’ is set by default resulting in no margin required
   Threshold Amount	Specify the maximum amount that can be excluded from the margin required before margin call should be mandatorily triggered for this margin type. This field is disabled and not applicable, if Margin Type selected is ‘Variation Margin’ or if Calculation Method selected is ‘Flat Amount’ or if Calculation Type selected is ‘External’ Margin Calculated = Maximum(0, (Margin Required – Threshold Amount)) Example: If Margin Required = 40,250 and threshold = 25,000 then Margin Calculated = Max(0, (40,250 – 25,000)) = 15,250 If not specified, ‘0’ is set by default resulting in margin required to be fully transferred without any exclusion
   Minimum Transfer amount	Specify the minimum amount that should be transferred for each margin call for this margin type, even if the calculated margin amount is lesser. This field is disabled and not applicable, if Margin Type selected is ‘Variation Margin’ Margin Transferred = Maximum(Margin Calculated, Minimum Transfer Amount) Example: If Margin Calculated = 15,250 and MTA = 20,000, Margin Transferred = MAX(15,250, 20,000) = 20,000 if not specified, 0 will be set by default and full amount calculated as margin need to be transferred.
