    Process Till Next Working Data

    Indicate the manner in which events (liquidation, charges and so on) falling due on a holiday are to be processed.

    Indicate whether the batch process need to process automatic events falling due on a holiday either:

    • System Date: as part of the BOD process on the first working date after the holiday
    • Next Working Day – 1: as part of the EOD process on the working day preceding the holiday

    For example, assume today is 15th November, 16th November, and 17th November are holidays. If you check this field, during the Automatic Batch Update function run, only the events scheduled for 15th November are processed.

    The events scheduled for the holidays that is 16th November and 17th November is processed during the Automatic Batch Update function run during the beginning of day operations on 18th November.

    Delta Accounting Required

    Delta is the change in the option value for every point change in the stock price. In the system, this is applicable for Physically Settled Currency Options only. On maintaining this parameter and giving the delta factor value while maintaining a fair value record (OTDXCNVL), the system triggers Delta accounting events (DLTA) and accounting entries.

    Indicate whether delta accounting is required for the branch. You are not allowed to modify this parameter if any active physical currency options are being processed for the branch.

    External Revaluation Required

    Select the check box next to the External Revaluation Required, for the revaluation to be done externally.

    If this field is checked, ensure to set the external revaluation level to either branch level or product level in Option Branch Parameter screen.

    External Revaluation Level

    Choose the external revaluation level as required.

    There are two options for external revaluations, one at the branch level and the other product level.

    Note:

    If External revaluation is enabled, external revaluation level is mandatory.
