Table 4-2 Options Rate Fixing Report - Field Description
Field Description Product Select product code from the list of options products that you have maintained or enter a valid product code.
For physically settled swaption deals, the OT product should have a DV swap product linked to it.
Product Description Based on this product code, the system displays the Product Description that you have defined at the product level. However, you cannot modify it.
Type The system displays the product type. The product type can be:
- IRO – Interest Rate Option
- CO – Currency Option
However, you cannot modify it.
Contract Reference Number The system generates the 16-character contract reference number based on the branch code, the product code, the Julian date and a running sequence of four digits. You cannot change this. External Reference Number Specify the external reference number, which is the reference number that your counterparty has given– this helps in reconciling deal confirmations and other correspondence. Source Code From the option list, select the code of the source from which you want the system to upload the contract. User Reference Number The user reference number takes on the same value as the contract reference number. You can change this to suit any numbering standard that you are following. Reversed Reference Number The system displays the reference number of the contract that is being reversed and rebooked during a financial amendment. Reject Reason Specify the Reject reason Code for payment reversal message. The option list displays all valid code maintained in the system. Choose the appropriate one. - On the Options Contract Input screen, under
Main tab, specify the fields.
For more information on the fields, refer to the below Field Description table.
Table 4-3 Main Tab - Field Description
Field Description Customer From the list of values against the field, select the CIF Number of the counterparty to the deal. The name of the counterparty is automatically displayed. Settlement Account Select the default settlement account branch and the default settlement account from the respective options lists next to these fields. This account of the counterparty is debited or credited for all payments that you receive from or pay to the counterparty. Trade Date The system defaults the current date as the trade date. This is the date on which the deal is agreed with the counterparty. Trade date cannot be amended once authorized. The system will display error messages under the following conditions:
- Trade date is greater than current system date
- Trade date is holiday as per the deal currency
- Trade date is blank
- Trade date is later than the value date
- Trade date is earlier than the product start date.
Booking Date, Value Date and Maturity Date The booking date is the date when the option contract is entered into the system. This is defaulted to the system date and cannot be changed.
For an IRO, the value date is the first date of the interest period. For a CO, it is the date from which the option takes effect. This can be earlier than the booking date, provided that the first exercise date for an IRO is always later than or the same as the booking date. The value date for an option contract has to be earlier than its maturity date.
The maturity date for both IROs and COs is the date on which the contract expires. It is mandatory to enter the maturity date. However, if you specify the tenor, the maturity date is computed accordingly and displayed. The reverse is also true. If the expiration style is European in an MT306, then the maturity date (field 30a) is updated with option F.
Contract Currency Select the currency of the option contract from the option list next to the field. For IROs, your choice of the contract currency is subject to the currency restrictions that you have maintained as part of product definition. Counter Currency Specify the Counter Currency. The counter currency applies only to COs, where this is the other currency of the pair that makes up the contract. Your choice of counter currency is restricted by currency pair restrictions that you have maintained at the product level. Strike Price Specify the price at which a CO is exercised, depending on the option style. This applies for all styles of COs, except for No Touch options. This does not apply for IROs. Contract Amount The contract amount is the size of the option deal. For COs, this should adhere to the minimum and maximum deal size that you have specified as part of product preferences. Broker Specify a broker for the contract, by selecting from the option list next to the field, only if you have allowed brokerage while maintaining product preferences. Brokerage can be paid in advance – that is, on the booking of the contract itself – or in arrears – that is, on termination, final exercise, or expiry. Tenor The tenor of the contract is the number of days between the value date and the maturity date. The tenor and the maturity date of the contract are inter-related and if you specify one, the value for the other is computed. Deal Input Time This field captures the deal execution time at the time of deal booking received from front office. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS:SSS (Default).
Here SSS is milliseconds.
Note:
The above format can be changed in the user setting option based on requirement.System throws an error when you give the wrong date or time format on modification.
Contract Type This indicates whether the option contract is a hedge or a trade (speculative) type of contract and whether you are buying or selling (writing) the option. These specifications default from the product under which you are initiating the contract. You can modify them here. Note:
An option that you are buying can be either a hedge or a trade type deal, but a written option can only be a trade deal.Buy or Sell Indicate the type of contract. According to the nature of the contract, select Buy or Sell from the drop down menu. While generating MT305 message, the system restricts the following currency codes in Contract and Counter currencies:
Table 4-4 Currency Code
ISO 4217 Currency Code Currency XAU
Gold (one troy ounce)
XAG
Silver (one troy ounce)
XPD
Palladium (one troy ounce)
XPT
Platinum (one troy ounce)
- On the Options Contract Input screen, under the
Main tab, specify the Premium
Details.
The option premium is the price or fee that you pay for buying an option or receive for writing an option. You have to mention the amount of the premium and the currency in which the premium is denominated. Alternatively, you can enter a premium percentage, whereby the system computes the premium amount as a percentage of the contract amount.
You also need to mention the date on which the premium is due to be paid. This can be any date between the booking date and the value date, both inclusive.
Note:
Irrespective of the date on which premium is collected; the premium amount has to be entered at the time of entering the contract.While generating MT305 message, the system restricts the following currency codes in Premium currency:

- On the Options Contract Input screen, under the
Main tab, specify the Inception Details.
The Inception Fair Value is the market value of the option contract at inception. This is denominated in the premium currency. You can have bought or sold an option at a price higher or lower than its fair value. You will have to ascertain the fair value of the contract from external sources and enter the same.
The option contract’s Intrinsic Value at inception is the possible pay-off from the option if it were to be exercised at inception itself. For a swaption, this value is zero. A non-swaption IRO can have a positive intrinsic value at inception that does not exceed the option premium. For no-touch currency options, intrinsic value at inception is the fixed amount that you enter at inception of the contract. For binary, digital, and fixed payment plain vanilla options, there is positive inception intrinsic value only if the option is in-the-money at inception. In such a case, the inception intrinsic value is the fixed amount payable on exercise of the option. The inception intrinsic value is displayed in the premium currency.
The option contract’s time value at inception is the difference between its premium and Inception Intrinsic value. Therefore, for a swaption or a CO, this is the same as the option premium itself. For an IRO, it can take any positive value, including zero. The inception time value is expressed in the premium currency.
For more information on the fields, refer to the below Field Description table.
Table 4-6 Main Tab - Field Description
Field Description Intrinsic Value Intrinsic value is the value that any given option would have if it were exercised today. Basically, the intrinsic value is the amount by which the strike price of an option is in the money. It is the portion of an option's price that is not lost due to the passage of time. The following equations can be used to calculate the intrinsic value of a call or put option:
Call Option Intrinsic Value = Underlying Stock's Current Price – Call Strike Price
Put Option Intrinsic Value = Put Strike Price – Underlying Stock's Current Price
Time Value The time value of options is the amount by which the price of any option exceeds the intrinsic value. It is directly related to how much time an option has until it expires as well as the volatility of the stock. The formula for calculating the time value of an option is:
Time Value = Option Price – Intrinsic Value
- On the Options Contract Input screen, under Main tab,
specify the Expiration Style.
The expiration style can be American, European, or Bermudan. This specification defaults from the preferences you have maintained for the product and cannot be changed at the contract level. The expiration style for IROs (except swaptions) can only be European and, therefore, this field is not enabled for such options.
Refer to the Products section of this manual for an explanation and applicability of the various option expiration styles.
For COs with the American expiration style, you also need to enter the earliest date before maturity when the option can be exercised. This can be the value date itself, or any date after that.
- On the Options Contract input screen, under
Main tab, specify the Schedules for Options with
Bermudan Expiration Style.
Bermudan style swaptions or plain vanilla COs can be exercised on certain pre-specified dates during the life of the option. If the expiration style for the contract that you are entering is Bermudan, you have to specify the dates on which it can be exercised.
- Click the Bermudan Schedule button.
The Bermudan Schedule screen in displayed.
In Bermudan Scheduler screen, you can enter the allowed exercise dates for the option. All exercise dates should lie between the value date and the maturity date. You cannot enter the same date twice and the date for a record should be later than that for the previous record.
Note:
An option with Bermudan schedule exercises automatically on maturity only if it is in the money and the maturity date is included as a possible exercise date. - Click the Bermudan Schedule button.
- On the Options Contract input screen, under the
Main tab, specify the Treatment of Maturity Date
Falling on Holiday.
The holiday treatment that you specify in the Main tab of the Options Contract Input screen applies only to the maturity or the expiry date of the contract. The holiday treatment for IRO schedules has to be specified in the Interest Rate Options tab.
All holiday treatment specifications default to the contract from the preferences that you have maintained at the product level. You can change them for a contract.
Refer to the Products section of this manual for details of holiday treatment specifications.
- On the Options Contract input screen, under
Main tab, specify the Limit Tracking Details.
You can wish to track counterparty exposure due to an option contract against limits set up for that counterparty. This applies only to purchased option contracts, not written ones.
If you have maintained a Master Agreement and wished the exposure tracking for the contract to be guided by that agreement, you can select the relevant master agreement code (MA Code). If the master agreement stipulates limit tracking, then that feature defaults to the contract. Even if you have not selected an MA code, you can choose limit tracking to apply to this contract.
If you opt for limit tracking, the Fair Value Limit tracking field is enabled. You can specify if fair value limit tracking is required for the particular contract. If you select this option, then you should also specify a fair value line code against which exposure is to be tracked. Once again, this defaults from the master agreement, if an MA code is selected and the master agreement stipulates limit tracking. Otherwise, you can choose from the list of values next to the field.
Refer to the Derivatives user manual for details on maintaining master agreements.
For details on limit and line maintenance, refer to the Central Liabilities user manual.
If you have opted for limit tracking, you also need to specify the current value of the option contract, which is the marked-to-market (MTM) value of the contract at inception. You can also indicate the impact of movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates on the exposure.
- On the Options Contract input screen, under
Main tab, specify the Notional & Risk Weighted
Limits Tracking Details.
Specify whether notional and risk weighted limit tracking is required for the contract.
You can enable the fields Fair Value Limit Tracking, Notional Limits Tracking, and Risk Weighted Limits Tracking, only if the Limit Tracking option is enabled. If the contract is governed by a Master agreement then if any of the three fields (Fair Value Limit Tracking, Notional Limits Tracking, and Risk Weighted Limits Tracking) are checked in the Master Agreement, the Limit Tracking Required option is checked at the contract level.
The fields Notional Limits Tracking, Notional Line Code, Risk-Weighted Limits Tracking, and Risk Weighted Line Code default from the Master agreement maintenance if the contract comes under the preview of a Master Agreement.
The Notional Line Code and Risk Weighted Line Code are mandatory if the Notional Limits Tracking and Risk Weighted Limits Tracking options are enabled, respectively.
For the line code, all valid lines for the counterparty and the product is displayed in the option list.
The Liability No fields display the liability number linked to notional line, Risk Weighted line, and Fair value line for the selected line codes.
On saving the contract, all the three lines selected are validated for any restrictions based on product and currency. Oracle Banking Treasury Management also ensures that all line codes selected are distinct from each other.
Risk% and Risk Weighted amount are calculated and shown on the screen as soon as the Risk Weighted Limits Tracking option is selected. These fields are recalculated if the value date or the maturity date is amended.
Risk Weighted Amount is calculated as follows:
Risk percent is computed by comparing the tenor (Maturity date – Value date) of the contract with the tenor slabs in risk percent maintenance. The risk category used for the comparison is the risk category defined in customer maintenance for the counterparty of the derivatives and options contract. The product used for comparison is the product for the contract. If there is no risk maintenance for the particular category and product, the product is replaced by ALL and risk percent for contract tenor, customer category, and product ALL is arrived at. The module used to find out the risk percent is DV for derivatives.
Various combinations possible for find out risk percentage in order of preference are:
OT + Customer Category + Product
OT + Customer Category + ALL
An error message is raised if Risk Weighted Limit Tracking is checked and risk percentage cannot be arrived at.
Risk percent once arrived at, is stored at the contract level and is used to compute the risk-weighted amount for limit tracking. Any future amendment of risk percentage in risk percentage maintenance will not affect the risk-weighted amount of the contract and it will remain the same throughout the life cycle of the contract.
Limits Utilization for the Notional Amount and the Risk Weighted amount is done against the in contract currency for all types of options.
- On Options Contract Input, click the Currency
Options tab.
The Currency Options tab section is displayed.
- On the Options Contract input screen, under
Currency Options tab, specify the fields.
For more information on the fields, refer to the below Field Description table.
Table 4-7 Currency Options Tab - Field Description
Field Description Calculation Agent Calculation Agent does not apply to a plain vanilla CO without barriers and marked for physical settlement.
For plain vanilla options which are cash settled or which have barriers (knock-in or knock-out type options), as also for binary, digital and no touch options, the Calculation Agent refers to the party who provides the rates to determine whether the exchange rate level(s) specified in the contract have been reached or not. Specify the BIC of the calculation agent.
Refer to the Products section of this manual for explanation on different styles of currency options.
Rate Type Select the rate type of the reference to be picked up. The option list displays all valid rate types maintained in the system. Settlement Rate Source Specify the source of the settlement rate, that is Reuters, Telerate, and so on. Settlement Rate Location Specify the location of the settlement rate. Alternatively, you can select the location from the option list. The list displays the values maintained in the system. Settlement Rate Time (HHMM) Specify the settlement rate time in HHMM format. Spot Rate This is the spot foreign exchange rate between the currency and the counter currency of the contract at the time of contract inception. This is picked up and displayed from the exchange rates that you maintain as part of core maintenance. Start Location Specify the start location. This code/ID indicates the financial institution where the option starts. Start Time Select a valid time in HHMM format. This indicates the time when the option becomes valid. Expiry Location Specify the expiry location. This is the Code/ID of the Financial Institution where the option expires. Expiry Time This is the time at which the option expires. Enter a valid time in the HHMM format. Option Style Select the option style. The option styles are as follows:
- Plain Vanilla
- Binary
- Digital
- No Touch
Note:
If you choose Plain Vanilla, the system will resolve the type of contract and generate MT305 confirmation SWIFT message during BOOK event. In case of other currency option styles, the system will generate MT306 confirmation SWIFT message.Refer to the Products section of this manual for explanation on different styles of currency options.
Deal Type and Delivery Type These indicate whether the currency option is a call or a put and whether it is cash-settled (resulting in a net cash settlement on exercise), physical (resulting in a foreign exchange deal on exercise), or whether the contract is uploaded (external). The option ‘External’ is disabled for contracts that are being created in Oracle Banking Treasury Management. It is selected only in case of uploaded contracts. You can select External only for uploaded contracts.
These values are defaulted from the product under which the contract is initiated. You can modify them at the contract level.
Deleting a currency option contract having a Physical delivery type results in the corresponding FX contract getting deleted.
Note:
Only Plain vanilla can be physically or externally settled. Other option types Binary, Digital and No touch are settled only by cash. - On the Options Contract input screen, under
Currency Options tab, specify the details.
For more information on the fields, refer to the below Field Description table.
Table 4-8 Currency Options Tab - Field Description
Field Description Barrier Allowed Barrier(s) are allowed by default for non-plain vanilla style options. For plain vanilla COs, you can opt to have barrier(s). Barrier Type Select the Barrier type from the list:
- Single Knock Out (SKOT)
- Double Knock Out (DKOT)
- Single Knock In (SKIN)
- Double Knock In (DKIN)
For no touch options, the barrier type can be either SKOT or DKOT.
Barrier and Lower Barrier If you allow barrier(s), you must also indicate the barrier price – the pre-determined exchange rate at which the contract is knocked in or knocked out. For DKIN and DKOT options, this represents the upper barrier and has to be more than the strike price. For SKIN and SKOT options, there is only a single barrier price, which can be less or more than the strike price.
For DKIN and DKOT options, you need to indicate the lower barrier – this has to be lower than the strike price.
Barrier Window Start Date and End Date For barrier options, you also have to specify the barrier window period, the period within which a system batch process compares the barrier and lower barrier (if applicable) with the spot exchange rate to check whether a CO contract is knocked in or knocked out. The barrier window is specified by entering a start and end date (both dates are included in the window). By default, the start date is the contract value date and the end date is the contract maturity date.
- On the Options Contract input screen, under
Currency Options tab, specify the Rebate
Details.
Barrier options can carry rebates, payable to the purchaser if the option is knocked out or not knocked in during its lifetime. If you have allowed rebate at the product level, that specification defaults to the contract – you can change it for specific contracts. If rebate is allowed, you have to enter the rebate amount to be paid/received and the currency in which it is denominated. For SKOT and DKOT options, you also need to indicate whether the rebate is payable/receivable at Hit (when the option gets knocked out) or at contract maturity.
For more details on barrier options, refer to the Products section of this user manual.
- On the Options Contract input screen, under Currency
Options tab, specify the Fixed Payments on Exercise of Options.
Usually, the settlement amount for plain vanilla options is based on the difference between the strike price and the spot exchange rate on the day of exercise. However, you can have entered into a plain vanilla options contract, whose terms stipulate that a fixed amount will change hands-on exercise (this makes it very similar to a binary option). In such a case, you will first need to allow fixed payments and then indicate the amount of the fixed payment and the currency in which it is denominated.
For binary and digital options, fixed payments are natural – for either of these, indicate the amount of the fixed payment and the currency in which it is denominated.
While generating MT306 message, the system restricts the following currency codes in fixed amount currency:

A positive spread cannot exceed and a negative spread cannot be less than the maximum spread defined at the product level. Rate Code, Rate Source and Rate Tenor Code For all IROs (except swaptions), the settlement amount is computed by comparing the reference rate with the strike rate. Therefore, you need to specify the reference rate code – LIBOR, etc. – for non-swaption IROs, based on which the reference rate is picked up. You also need to specify the source of the reference rate - Reuters, Telerate, and so on, and the tenor code for the reference rate - e.g., 3-month LIBOR, 6-month LIBOR, and so on.
- On the Options Contract input screen, under Interest
Rate Options tab, specify the Alternative Risk-Free Rate Preferences.
For more information on the fields, refer to the below Field Description table.
Table 4-14 Interest Rate Options Tab - Risk-Free Rate Preferences - Field Description
Field Description Alternative Risk Free Rate Select this check box to identify if the contract is enabled for RFR. Alternative Risk Free Rate Preferences Select any one of the following RFR calculation method check box from the below options: - Lookback
- Lockout
- Payment Delay
- Last Reset
- Last Recent
- Plain
- Rate Compounding
- Index Value
- Weighted Average
The user can also select the combination of the below method:
- Lookback and Lockout
- Lookback, Lockout, and Payment Delay
Lookback The user can select Lookback as RFR preference if the Rate Method is In-Arrears.
The observation period for the interest rate calculation starts and ends a certain number of days prior to the Interest period. As a result, you can choose the interest payment to be calculated prior to the end of the interest period.
Look Back Days Enter the number of days by which the system look back to derive the relevant RFR. This field is applicable when the Rate Method is In-Arrears or Bearing and RFR method is Lookback.
Lockout The user can select Lockout as RFR preference if the Rate Method is In-Arrears.
Lockout means that the RFR is frozen for a certain number of days prior to the end of an interest period (lockout period).
During this time, the RFR of lockout period days is applied for the remaining days of the interest period. As a result, the averaged RFR can be calculated a couple of days before the end of the Interest period.
Lockout Days This field is relevant when the Rate Method is In-Arrears or Bearing and RFR method is Lockout.
Enter the number of Lockout period days.
Last Reset This field is relevant when the Rate Method is In-Advance. In this option, interest payments are determined on the basis of the averaged RFR of the previous period. Last Recent This field is relevant when the Rate Method is In-Advance. In this option, a single RFR or an averaged RFR for a short number of days, are applied for the entire interest period. Plain This field is relevant only if Rate Method is In-Arrears or bearing. System uses the averaged SOFR over current interest period, paid on first day of next interest period.
Payment Delay The user can select Payment Delay as RFR preference if the Rate Method is In-Arrears.
In this method, Interest payments are delayed by a certain number of days and are therefore due a few days after the end of an interest period.
Payment Delay Days This field is applicable only if Rate Method is In-Arrears or Bearing and RFR method is Payment delay.
Enter the Number of days by which the interest payments are delayed by a certain number of days and are thus due a few days after the end of an interest period.
Payment Movement Calendar Select the payment movement calendar. The list displays the following values:- Calendar
- Business
Computation Calendar Select the Computation Calendar from the drop-down list, when RFR is selected for interest calculation. The available options are:- Currency
- Financial Calendar
Financial Center This field is mandatory if the financial center is selected as a computation calendar. Select the code of the financial center from the displayed list of values.
Base Computation Method Select the Base Computation method. It is either simple or compound.
Spread\ Margin Computation Method Select the spread or margin computation method as either Simple or compound.
Spread Adjustment Method Select the spread adjustment method as either Simple or compound.
Rate Compounding Method Select the Rate Compounding Method from the drop-down list. The available options are:- CCR
- NCCR
1. Cumulative Compounded Rate (CCR)
Calculates the compounded rate at the end of the interest period and it is applied to the whole period. It allows calculation of interest for the whole period using a single compounded rate.
2. Non-Cumulative Compounded Rate (NCCR) It is derived from Cumulative Compounded Rate i.e., Cumulative rate as of current day minus Cumulative rate as of prior Banking day. This generates a daily compounded rate which allows the calculation of a daily interest amount. Rate Compounding supports below RFR preferences: Arrear Method- Lookback
- Lockout
- Payment Movement
- Plain
Rate Compounding User can select the rate compounding to be applied for each calculation period. When enabled, system opts for rate compounding instead of amount compounding, the amount difference comes into effect only if any pre-payment is done.Note:
For more information on Rate Compounding calculation, refer to the RFR Rate Compounding calculation worksheet.RFR Rounding Unit Specify the value in the RFR Rounding Unit field to round daily index and rate compounding to the nearest whole number and use it for interest calculation.Note:
The rate compounding rounding units value can be specified up to 9 decimals.Weighted Average Select this check box to use weighted average calculation (WAC) as the RFR calculation method. The WAC here represent the simple average calculation and not compounded. The averaged RFR in this convention is the simple arithmetic mean of the daily RFRs. OBTR supports WAC to calculate base rate (BR), Credit Adjustment Spread (CAS), and Customer Margin.
The WAC formula to calculate simple interest is:
Here,
db: the number of business days for the interest calculation period dc: the number of calendar days for the interest calculation period
ri: reference rate for the day number i within the interest calculation period

If you are reversing a swaption contract manually or through an upload, the corresponding DV contract also gets reversed. This holds good for both the ‘Physical’ and the External swaption styles.
You need to manually create a DV contract and choose the corresponding options contract as the swaption reference. For physically settled swaption options contracts, you can book IRO without a swaption reference number. An underlying DV contract need not be created in this case.
The system allows reversal of a swaption contract only after reversing the IRS contract linked to it.
During manual exercise of an OT contract, the system initiates the corresponding DV contract. The system triggers DOPT event as part of this process.

Table 4-16 Revision Holiday - Field Description
Field Description Holiday Movement Occasionally the preferred holiday treatment, the branch holiday, the currency holiday, or the holiday governed by the financial center can, in turn, fall on a holiday. In such a situation you have to indicate the movement of the scheduled date. Whether it is to be moved forward to the next working day or whether it should be moved back to the previous working day.
Cascade Schedules The question of cascading schedules arises only if: - You have specified that a schedule falling due on a holiday has to be moved forward or backward; and,
- The schedule has been defined with a definite frequency.
Indicate that schedules must be cascaded. Then the schedule date for the next payable schedule will depend on how the schedule date was moved for a holiday. The following example illustrates how this concept of cascading schedules functions:
For example, a monthly schedule is defined with backward movement and a schedule date falling due on April 30 was moved to April 29, April 30 being a holiday.
The schedule date for May depends on whether you have chosen to cascade schedules. If you have, the schedule date for May is set as May 29, as the frequency has been specified as monthly. For the subsequent schedules also, May 29 is considered as the last schedule date.
If you have not specified that schedules have to be cascaded, the date originally specified is the date for drawing up the schedules. Even if the April month end schedule is moved to April 29, the next schedule will remain on May 30.

details.
