7.8.8.3 Forecast Balance Assumptions

Non-Currency-based Processing

If the ALM Process Rule includes Forecast Balance New Business, only the assumptions for the Reporting Currency are applied. For associated new business assumptions in the Pricing Margin Rule, Maturity Mix Rule, and Product Characteristics Rule, and if no assumptions exist for the Reporting Currency, the Cash Flow Engine uses assumptions defined for the Default Currency (Code 000). If it still cannot find a match, it employs a default or may write out an error message.

Currency-based Processing

In currency-based processes, results are produced in their Local Currency. Therefore, Oracle ALM reads all Forecast Balance Assumptions regardless of their Associated Currency.
