3.17 Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rules

In Oracle Funds Transfer Pricing, you either can output Transfer Pricing Results to the default columns of the application, or to the seeded alternate columns or placeholder alternate columns selected using the Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rule. Both the Standard Transfer Pricing Process and Stochastic Transfer Pricing Process reference the Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rule to Output Transfer Rate, Option Cost, and Add-On Rate Calculation Results for each Instrument Record.

The procedure for working with and managing the Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rule is similar to that of other Oracle Funds Transfer Pricing Business Rules. It includes the following steps:

  • Searching for Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rules
  • Creating Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rules
  • Viewing and Editing Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rules
  • Copying Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rules
  • Deleting Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rules

Before creating Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rules, you will need to register any placeholder columns that you have added as Alternate Output Columns for instrument tables. Note that a full set of Alternate Target Columns is seeded with each instrument table, so it is not a requirement to create and register Placeholder Columns. You can either utilize the seeded alternate columns or create your own placeholder alternate columns.

This chapter describes the procedure to output Transfer Pricing results to the seeded or Placeholder Alternate Columns instead of Default Columns of the application.

Alternate Rate Output Mapping Rules allow you to map Transfer Pricing results to alternate or Placeholder Columns rather than to the Standard Output Columns. Alternate Rate Output Mapping rules are optional components of a Transfer Pricing process. If these rules are excluded from a process, then results are written to the standard default columns on the instrument tables. If an Alternate Rate Mapping table is included then outputs will be written based on target columns specified by the user. This functionality allows users to calculate and output more than one Transfer Rate, Option Cost, or TP Add-on Rate for each Instrument Record.
