   Copy Definition to another Currency	This functionality provides the option to copy, in total or selectively, the product assumptions contained within the PBSM assumption Rules from one currency to another currency or a set of currencies, or from one product to another product or set of products. Copy of assumptions enhances the usability of PBSM Cloud in a multi-currency environment. For example, if you have 10 currencies enabled in the application and you must input only one set of assumptions, then copy those assumptions across all enabled currencies, instead of having to input 10 full sets, thereby saving a significant amount of input time. This functionality also reduces the risk associated with data input errors as you must audit inputs for a set of assumptions before executing the copy procedure. This process requires you to select a replacement yield curve for each target currency. These currency-specific IRCs replace the IRC selection made for each product in the source currency selection set. It is possible to edit the target assumptions after the initial copy processes have been completed. To use this functionality, follow these steps: Click Copy Definition to another Currency icon next to Currency field. The Currency window is displayed.
