    Source

    This indicates the name of a registered external system in Oracle Banking Treasury Management.

    External Swap Reference Number

    This is the swap reference number generated by the external system for the FX Swap deal. In case of the amendment (by reversal of parent and rebooking) while booking a child contract, the system nullifies the External swap reference of the parent and copy the external swap reference number to the child contract. Both the legs of the swap contract will have the same reference number.

    Note:

    The Swap reference number is only for information purpose, and no process is executed based on this in Oracle Banking Treasury Management.

    The External Swap reference number can be viewed in the Foreign Exchange Contract Summary screen.

    NDF Related Reference Number

    Select the NDF Related reference number from the option list. The list displays all unfixed authorized NDF Forward contracts.

    All contracts that are entered into the system are assigned a unique identification number known as the Contract Reference number.

    The reference number for a contract is based on the Branch Code, the Product Code, the date on which the contract is entered (in the Julian Date format) and a running serial number for the day.

    The Julian Date is of the following format:

    “YYDDD”

    Here, YY stands for the last two digits of the year and DDD for the number of day(s) that has/have elapsed in the year.

    Reject Reason

    The system displays the reject reason.

    Contract Reference

    Select the contract reference number of the check for the required financing from the adjoining option list. The system displays the contract reference numbers which has Active status Once you have specified the above details, click 'P' button to populate the details of the contract.

    User Reference

    In addition to the automatically generated Reference Number; Identify the contract you are processing with the unique reference number.

    Typically, you would use this field to capture the reference number assigned to a contract by the counterparty.

    Related Reference

    Specify the related reference number for the contracts. For an NDF Forward Contract, this field indicates the reference number of the corresponding NDF Fixing Contract. For an NDF Fixing Contract, it indicates the NDF Forward Contract reference number.

    It is a mandatory field for the NDF Fixing Contract. It is NULL while booking the NDF Forward Contract, and while booking the NDF Fixing Contract, set to NDF Fixing Contract.

    External Reference

    This is the reference number sent from the external system. This is a mandatory field during upload from an external system.

    Bill Reference

    This is the reference number of the bill contract in the BC module.

    Confirmation Status

    The system displays the confirmation status.

    Confirmation status is ‘Unconfirmed’ for a contract at the time of booking or after any amendment. The status moves to ‘Confirmed’ when the confirmation is done for the contract by auto/manual matching or manually. A deal which is already confirmed by message matching can be marked as unconfirmed manually from the Manual Matching screen and the confirmation status will be changed to Unconfirmed.

    If the affirmation for an FX contract with an Affirmation Type for which the field for ‘Consider for contract confirmation’ is checked, then also the contract status moves to ‘Confirmed’. If after such an affirmation, unaffirm action is done for the contract, then confirmation status will change back to unconfirmed.

    Entering the Confirmation waiver changes the confirmation status of the deal as ‘Waived’. If the confirmation is un-waived for such a deal, then confirmation status moves back as ‘Unconfirmed’. Confirmation can be unwaived for a deal with confirmation status as ‘Waived ‘only. The system will validate the same.

    If the confirmation received or affirmation received with affirmation type is checked for ‘Consider for Contract Confirmation’, then Confirmation Status is ‘Confirmed’ for the deal.’

    If confirmation status of a deal is ‘unconfirmed’ and confirmation waiver is not marked for a deal then related payment messages will be generated in ‘Confirmation Pending’ status.

    Reversed Reference

    The reference number of the contract that is being reversed and re-booked is displayed here.

    Against the Sold currency, enter the sold amount in the Amount column. Enter the amount in numerals and then enter

    • T - to indicate that the amount is in thousands
    • M - to indicate that the amount is in millions
    • B - to indicate that the amount is in billions

    On saving the transaction after entering all the required details in the system, the system validates the value of the bought amount against the following:

    • Product transaction limit
    • User Input limit

    If the transaction currency and the limit currency are different, then the system converts the amount financed to limit currency and checks if the same is in excess of the product transaction limit and user input limit. If this holds true, the system indicates the same with below override/error messages:

    • The number of levels required for authorizing the transaction.
    • The transaction amount is in excess of the input limit of the user

    Sold Value Date

    Enter the value date for the sold leg of the contract in the Value date column.

    Similarly, against the sold currency and sold amount indicate the value date of the sold leg of the contract.

    The Value Date is the same except in the case of Split Value Date deals.

    Deal Rate

    Based on the counterparty, the Currency Pair and the Value Date for the transaction, the System automatically assigns the deal rate that is to be used for the funds’ transfer deal, if currency conversion is involved.

    The Deal Rate applicable for the transaction = Base Rate +/- Customer Spread (depending on whether it is a Buy or a Sell).

    Customer Spread

    Similarly, the spread that you have maintained for the specified Counterparty, Currency Pair and Tenor combination in the ‘Customer Spread Maintenance’ screen is picked up and applied for the customer involved in the deal.

    While picking up the Customer Spread, the System ascertains the tenor of the contract according to the following logic:

    Buy Tenor = Buy value date – (System date + Spot date):

    Sell Tenor = Sell value date – (System date + Spot date)

    Note:

    If spread details for a specific counterparty (for the currency pair) are unavailable, the System looks for the customer spread maintained for the wild-card ALL entry. If even that is not available, then the Customer Spread defaults to zero.

    Spread Definition

    The spread definition which indicates whether spread is calculated in percentage or points is displayed here.

    Base Rate

    Base Rate is derived from the Mid Rate and the Buy/Sell Spreads that you maintain for the currency pair in the exchange rate maintenance table.

    Local Currency Equivalent

    The local currency equivalent of the contract amount is displayed in this field. The local currency amount is calculated as follows:

    In case of a direct quote currency:

    LCY = FCY x Rate

    Auto Liquidate

    Foreign exchange deals liquidate automatically or manually.

    Deals for which you have specified the automatic mode of liquidation automatically liquidates on the Value Date during the beginning-of-day processing (by the Automatic Contract Update function).

    If you do not specify auto liquidation for a product, you have to give specific instructions for liquidation, through the ‘Manual Liquidation’ screen, on the day you want to liquidate a deal.

    If the Value Date of a deal is a holiday, the deal liquidates depending on your specifications in the Branch Parameters table. In this table:

    • If you have specified that processing has to be done on the last working day (before the holiday), for automatic events, the deal falling on the holiday liquidates during the beginning-of-day processing on the last working day before the holiday.
    • If you have specified that processing has to be done only on the system date, for automatic events, the deal falling on a holiday is processed the next working day after the holiday

    If you have specified that processing has to be done only on the system date, for automatic events, process the deal falling on a holiday the next working day after the holiday, during beginning-of-day processing.

    To indicate that you would like to liquidate a contract automatically on the value date, click on the box adjacent to Auto Liquidation.

    Continuous Linked Settlements Eligible

    Risk Percentage

    The risk percentage for the contract is displayed here.

    The risk percent is fetched from risk percent maintenance for combination of risk category+ ‘FX’+ product combination or risk category+ ‘FX’+ ‘ALL’ combination using original tenor of the contract.

    Risk Weighted Amount

    The risk-weighted amount is displayed here.

    The risk percent is applied on the bought amount to arrive at risk weighted amount.

    Note:

    When a contract is copied, the limit tracking, risk tracking options and credit lines are copied from the contract. The risk percent and risk weighted amount will be zero.

    Whenever the counterparty is changed, the credit lines are made NULL as the credit lines are dependent on the counterparty.

    If credit lines are changed during amendment then the existing utilization is transferred to the new credit line and the utilization for the old credit line will be made Zero. If limits tracking option is unchecked during amendment, the utilization will be nullified for the credit lines.

    The tenor for calculation of risk weighted amount will be calculated based on tenor type (‘Fixed’ or ‘Rolling’) maintained at the product.

    Tenor of FX contract

    Tenor of an FX contract is calculated as follows:

    Fixed: Bought value date – booking date

    Rolling: Bought value date – Branch date.

    During the rollover event, the tenor of the rollover version of FX contract is arrived as follows:

    Fixed: Rollover Bought value date – original booking date (the tenor is calculated from the original booking date).

    Rolling: Rollover Bought value date – Branch date (the tenor is calculated from the rollover date).

    Track Settlement Risk

    This option will be enabled only when the Limits Tracking option is checked.

    Check this option to specify that limit tracking should be done on bought amount of FX Contracts.

    Changing the Exchange Rate

    You can change the exchange rate that is maintained for the currency in the currency table. Only, the changed value should be within a certain range. This range is referred to as the Exchange Rate Variance.

    The exchange rate variance is specified while creating a product. Oracle FLEXCUBE will carry out the following validations while saving a Contract:

    • Ensure that Credit lines are different for each limit tracking.
    • Checks for the existence of risk category in the Customer maintenance if risk weighted limit tracking is set at the contract level.
    • Ensure that Credit lines are different for each limit tracking.
    • Checks for the existence of risk category in the Customer maintenance if risk weighted limit tracking is set at the contract level.
    • Checks for the existence of risk percent maintenance for risk category + ‘FX’+ (‘ALL’/ product) combination if risk weighted limit tracking is set at the contract level.
    • Checks for the presence of credit lines if risk tracking options are set at the contract level.
    • Displays an error message if pre settlement risk option credit line is maintained and ifthe product is not set for revaluation

    This is the Sold amount of the new contract. The Sold amount of the old contract defaults here if the Deal Type is Sell.

    Sold Value Date

    This is the settlement date of the Sell contract as specified in the Contract Details table.

    If Split Value Dates are allowed for the contract, the Bought and Sold legs of the contract have different settlement dates

    Bought Amount

    This is the Bought Amount of the new contract. The Bought Amount of the original contract defaults here if the Deal Type is Buy.

    Bought Value Date

    This is the settlement date of the new contract. Enter a date that is later than the Value Date of the original contract.

    For forward contracts, enter a date that is later than the Spot Date of the currency. If an Option Date is allowed for the product involving the contract, enter a date that is later than the Transaction Date and earlier than the Value Date of the contract.

    Rollover Exchange Rate

    The Exchange Rate between the currency pair involved in the contract is displayed here.

    You can change the Exchange Rate that is displayed here. Since the rate that you enter here would be different from the Standard Exchange Rate it is referred to as a Exchange Rate Variance.

    You cannot enter a rate that exceeds the Maximum Exchange Rate Variance that you have defined for the product (in the Product Preferences screen).

    • If the variance is less than the Normal Exchange Rate Variance defined for the product, the contract stores the details without any override.
    • If the variance is greater than the Normal Exchange Rate Variance and less than the Maximum Exchange Rate Variance, the system prompts an override. The contract is stored only if the override is accepted.
    • If the variance is higher than the Maximum Exchange Rate Variance With Override, the contract is not stored. You have to change the Exchange Rate before storing the contract.

    Rollover Spot Rate

    For contracts involving local currency, the Spot Rate of the foreign currency is the default Spot Rate.

    For cross currency contracts, the rate between the two currencies as maintained in the Currency table is taken as the default Spot Rate. If the rate between the two currencies has NOT been maintained, the Spot Rate of the P & L Currency against the local currency is taken as the default Spot Rate.

    You can change the Spot Date displayed in this field

    Rollover Local Currency Equivalent

    The local currency equivalent of the amount involved in the contract is displayed here. This amount can be changed. This is calculated according to the rate maintained in the Currency table. For cross currency contracts, this amount is calculated as:

    (Bought Amount * Spot LCY Rate for Bought CCY) * (Sold Amount * Spot LCY rate for Sold CCY)/2

    Rollover Premium Discount

    For forward contracts, this is the Premium or Discount Amount that is applicable as on the date of initiation of the contract. It is calculated as the difference between the amount in Term Currency (as on the Transaction Date) and the amount in Term Currency (as on the Value Date).

    The following terms are different for the new contract:

    • Amount
    • Value Date
    • Roll-over Date
    • Roll-over Spot Rate

    After you enter the details click Yes. If you do not want to save the details you entered, click No.

    Field Description

    Netting Type

    In this field, you must first indicate the type of netting. You can net the contracts involving a customer in two different ways. Contracts can either be netted

    • Pair wise
    • Currency wise

    If you choose to net contracts pair wise, the system selects all contracts that have been specified for pair wise netting, for the counterparty. Contracts that have the same currency pair, irrespective of whether they are bought or sold, will be netted.

    If you choose to net contracts currency wise, the system selects all contracts that have been specified for currency wise netting, for the counterparty. The value date of the bought currency leg and that of the sold currency leg are considered individually to arrive at the netting date.

    Netting Customer

    The FX netting customer of the contracts’ counterparty is displayed here. This would default from the FX Netting Customer which you have specified for the Counterparty in Customer Information maintenance. A reference is made to the Treasury Customer Additional Details Maintenance while entering a new contract or amending an existing one.

     For every customer, FX contracts are collated based on the FX Netting Customer during the Netting Process-Automatic and Manual.

  9. Specify the details as per requirement.

    For information on Field, refer to the below table.

    Table 5-6 Revaluation Details - Field Description

    Field Description

    Profit and Loss Currency

    If a forward contract is being revalued using the Straight-Line Revaluation method, the revaluation details should be specified in this screen.

    For contracts involving the local currency, the local currency is taken to be the P & L Currency. You cannot change the P & L currency to any other currency.

    For cross currency contracts, the P & L currency will be derived based on the Buy/Sell indicator of the contract.

    Spot Date

    For contracts involving the local currency, the Spot Date of the foreign currency in the pair is taken as the default Spot Date.

    For cross currency contracts, the Spot Date of the P & L Currency is taken as the default Spot Date. For example, if the currency pair involved is GBP/USD and if you are buying GBP, the Spot Date of GBP is displayed here.

    You can change the Spot Date displayed in this field.

    Spot Rate

    For contracts involving local currency, the Spot Rate of the foreign currency is taken as the default Spot Rate.

    For cross currency contracts, the rate between the two currencies as maintained in the Currency table is taken as the default Spot Rate. If the rate between the two currencies has NOT been maintained, the Spot Rate of the P & L Currency against the local currency is taken as the default Spot Rate.

    You can change the Spot Rate displayed in this field.

    Revaluation Rate Type

    This field displays the rate type defined for the respective product.

    Effective Interest Rate

    This field represents the interest rate, which the system computes after considering the spot date and spot rate entered.

    To check if the interest rates of both the bought and sold currencies have been quoted reasonably, the premium paid or discount received for that contract is projected into an annualized effective interest rate.

    This rate is calculated by the system based on the total profit or loss for the period from the spot date to maturity date or option date (in case an option date is used) using the formula:

    Rate = P X Considered Year Days X 100 / S X N

    where:

    • P = the profit or loss on the contract
    • Considered Year Days = number of year days considered for calculation of effective interest rate.
    • S = spot equivalent
    • For non-arbitrage contracts:
    • S = FCY amount X spot rate
    • For arbitrage contracts:
    • S = FCY amount X spot rate
    • (FCY amt identified in P/L CY.)

    N = the number of days for the profit or loss to be apportioned on a straight-line basis. It is calculated from the spot date to the maturity date (or option date) minus 1. This rate is compared to the difference between the two rates that are entered in “Interest Rate Bought Ccy.” and “Interest Rate Sold Ccy.” If it does not match, the system will display an error message and ask for an override.

    Premium/Discount

    This indicates whether the contract results in a premium or a discount.

    Premium /Discount Amount

    The difference between the Spot Equivalent in LCY and the Contract Amount in LCY is the Premium or Discount Amount. A minus sign indicates that the contract is at a discount.

    For contracts involving the local currency, the local currency is taken as the P & L Currency. When such a contract is revalued, the Spot Rate (of the P & L Currency as on the revaluation date) is applied on the contract amount to calculate the Spot Equivalent in LCY. The difference between the Contract Amount in LCY and the Spot Equivalent in LCY is the Premium or Discount Amount. A minus sign indicates that the contract is at a discount.

    For cross currency contracts, the Spot Rate of the P & L Currency, as against the other currency, is used to calculate the amount in terms of the P & L Currency. The local currency equivalent of this amount is calculated as the Spot Equivalent in LCY. The difference between the Contract Amount in LCY and the Spot Equivalent in LCY is the Premium or Discount Amount.

    If the cross currency rate has NOT been maintained, the Spot Rate of the P & L Currency is applied on the contract amount to calculate the amount in terms of the P & L Currency. The local currency equivalent of this amount is calculated as the Spot Equivalent in LCY. The difference between the Contract Amount in LCY and the Spot Equivalent in LCY is the Premium or Discount Amount.

    Interest Rate Bought Leg

    This is the Interest rate applicable to the Bought leg of the contract.

    Interest Rate Sold Leg

    This is the Interest rate applicable to the Sold leg of the contract.

    Discount Bought Leg

    Specify the (notional) interest that you will earn on the bought currency (interest receivable) when a forward deal is settled. On the booking date, the buy deal amount is reduced by the discount amount and contingent entries are passed for the discounted bought amount. Accrual entries are passed for the discount amount till the maturity date, depending on the accrual frequency.

    Note:

    Specify the ‘Discount Bot Leg’ and ‘Discount Sold Leg’ only if the product involved in the deal is associated with the ‘Discounted Straight Line’ method of revaluation.

    Discounted Deal Amount Bought Leg

    This is populated only in case of Discounted Straight Line method of Revaluation. This is just a display field. This will be the result of:

    Bought Amount – Revalued Discount amount for Bought Leg

    Discounted Deal Amount Sold Leg

    This is populated only in case of Discounted Straight Line method of Revaluation. This is just a display field. This will be the result of:

    Sold Amount – Revalued Discount amount for Sold Leg

    Spot Local Currency Equivalent

    When the contract is revalued, this information will be used.

    Discounted Amount in Local Currency

    For an LCY-FCY deal, the discounted amount of the LCY leg is displayed in this field.

    For an FCY-FCY deal, the local currency equivalent of the discounted amount of the non-deal currency (calculated at the prevailing exchange rate) is displayed.

    Note:

    Partial payments/cancellations and rollover are not allowed for products with ‘Discounted Straight Line’ method of revaluation

    Contract Amount in Local Currency

    The local currency equivalent of the contract amount (as specified in the LCY Equivalent field of the ‘Contract Details’ screen) is displayed here.
