31.11 Defining Tractor Methodology
The prerequisites for defining a Tractor Methodology are:
- Creating a Replicating Portfolio.
- Generating (and maintaining) the Portfolio. Volatile and Core Instrument strips will be created in the FSI_M_REP_PORTFOLIO_STRIPS table.
To define and use a Tractor TP Method:
- Define the Transfer Pricing Rule and select the Tractor Method from the list of available TP Methods for relevant Product Dimension Members.
- Select the appropriate Replicating Portfolio.
- Select the Transfer Pricing Interest Rate Code.
- Define a Transfer Pricing Process and Run using the TP Rule.
- TP Process Transfers Price the non-zero portfolio strips using a Straight Term Method.
- TP Process computes a weighted average TP Rate for the portfolio and will update all instruments mapped through the TP Rule to this method.
