    Field Description

    Product Code and Product Description

    Specify the product code and product description.

    Product Type

    Specify the product code.

    Product Slogan

    Type a slogan for the product that you are creating.

    Product Group

    Grouping products according to the common features they share helps you organize information relating to the services you provide. This helps you retrieve information easily.

    Product Start Date and End Date

    When you create a product, you must also specify a date from which it can be offered. You may also specify the date up to which you would like to offer the product. Enter these dates in the Start Date and End Date fields.

    Note:

    You cannot offer a product beyond the specified end date. If you do not specify an end date for a product, you can offer it for an indefinite period.

    Remarks

    If you want to enter any remarks regarding the product, do so in the Remarks field.

    Exchange Rate Variance

    For a special customer, or in special cases, you may want to use an exchange rate (a special rate) that is greater than the exchange rate maintained for a currency pair. The variance is referred to as the Exchange Rate Variance.

    When creating a product, you can express an Exchange Rate Variance Limit in terms of a percentage. This variance limit would apply to all deals associated with the deal product.

    Override Limit

    If the variance between the default rate and the rate input varies by a percentage between the Rate Override Limit and the Rate Stop Limit, you can save the deal by providing an override.

    Stop Limit

    If the variance between the defaulted rate and the rate that is entered varies by a percentage greater than or equal to the Rate Stop Limit, you cannot save the deal.

    Rate Code

    While settling charges for cross-currency settlements, you can choose to debit the customer by applying the mid-rate or by using the buy/sell spread over the mid-rate.

    Rate Type

    Indicate the Rate Type which should be picked up for exchange rate conversions involving settlement of charges for cross currency deals. You can maintain any one of the following as the Rate Type:

    • Cash Rate

    Rey-key Fields

    In Oracle Banking Treasury Management, all operations on a deal (input, amendment, modification, etc.) have to be authorized by a user other than the one who entered the deal details. These operations have to be carried out before the end-of-day activities have begun. Authorization is a way of checking the entries made by a user.

    Indicate that details of certain fields should be re-entered when a deal is invoked for authorization. The complete details of the deal is displayed only after the values to these fields are entered. The fields for which the values have to be given are called the Re-key fields.

    You can specify any or all of the following as re-key fields:

    • Broker Account
    • Instrument ID
    • Portfolio ID
    • Series ID
    • Broker ID
    • Number of Contracts
    • Price

    If no re-key fields are defined, the details of the deal involving the product will be displayed immediately when the authorizer calls the deal for authorization. The re-key option also serves as a means of ensuring the accuracy of inputs.

    Currency Restrictions

    Indicate whether you want to create a list of allowed currencies or disallowed currencies by selecting one of the following options:

    • Allowed
    • Disallowed

    Categories List

  6. On the Exchange Derivatives Deal Product Definition screen, click the Charges tab.
  7. On the Charges Details screen, specify the charge details.

    In the ETD module of Oracle Banking Treasury Management, charges can be associated and accounted for, only with the Booking of the deal. You can calculate and deduct charges as a percentage of the deal amount.

    You can specify the charge components applicable to a product, when your bank has to;

    • Collect money from the Customer/Broker
    • Pay money to the Customer/Broker

    Table 6-3 Deals

    Deal Value

    Futures Deals

    Future Price X Number of Contracts.

    Options Deals

    Option Premium X Number of Contracts.

    Table 6-4 Deals

    Deal Value

    Futures Deals

    Underlying Spot Price X Number of Contracts.

    Options Deals

    Underlying Spot Price X Number of Contracts.

    You should necessarily use a charge class to indicate the charge components applicable to the product. A charge class is a specific type of component that you can build with certain attributes. You can build a charge class, for instance, with the attributes of a specific type of charge component, such as Charges for booking an LS deal. The charges that you link to the deal product will be made applicable to all the deals involving the product.

    You can link charge components with the deal product through the Deal Charge Definition screen.

  8. On the Exchange Derivatives Deal Product Definition screen, click the Events tab.
  9. On the Event Details screen, specify the event details.

    The different stages in the life cycle of a deal are referred to as Events. In the ETD module, the following events are possible for a deal:

    Table 6-5 Event Code - Description

    Event Code Description

    EBOK

    Booking a deal

    EAMD

    Amendment of trade time stamp of a deal that is yet to be booked

    EMAT

    Deal Matching

    EREV

    Reversal of a deal

    At an event, you may want to generate advice or post accounting entries. For instance, while booking a deal in your customer portfolio, you would:

    • Pass the requisite charge related entries
    • Print a confirmation advice for the benefit of your customer

    When defining a deal product, firstly, you have to identify the accounting roles and heads for the product in the Product Accounting Role to Head Mapping screen. Similarly, you have to specify the different event details in through the Product Event Accounting Entries and Advices screen, by either of the following ways:

    • Associating the product with an appropriate Role to Head Mapping class and an Events Class
    • Mapping accounting roles to heads and defining event details specifically for the product.

    The appropriate accounting entries will be posted and the relevant advices can be generated only while booking a deal (EBOK event). During the amendment of trade time stamp of a deal that is yet to be processed in the system, (EAMD) and for deal matching (EMAT), the system will not post any accounting entries. Neither will you be allowed to generate any advices for these events.

    For reversing a deal (EREV), the system does an automatic reversal of all the accounting entries that were passed when the particular deal was booked (EBOK).

    For further details on maintaining Accounting Entries and Advices, refer Product Definition User Manual under Modularity.
