Checking New Transactions 

Use

This function enables you to check transactions that are as yet unknown to the SAP system (meaning neither as external transactions nor as transactions in the data pool). Using the values entered, the system checks whether a new transaction complies with the limit.

In the single transaction check, you can use the mass data capability to check complex constructions, such as generic transactions.

Procedure

      1.      Choose: ® Tools ® Single Transaction Check ® Check New Transaction. The system displays the screen Single Transaction Check: Initial Screen for New Transaction.

      2.      Specify the business partner, the STC product, the evaluation date (is always today’s date) and the company code of the transaction you want to check.

 

Choose  Check to check that your entries are consistent.

 

      3.      Choose  Continue.

      4.      On the Transaction tab page choose:

¡      Check Limit Utilization to determine whether the new transaction will exceed the limit, or

¡       Check and Update Limit Utilization to check the new transaction, and update it in Limit Management.

      5.      On the Additional Data tab page you can edit the limit characteristic values for the transaction.

By setting the CP Risk Active or Country Risk Active indicators, you control whether the transaction is relevant for counterparty/issuer risk or country risk. If you set the country risk indicator to active, you need to make some settings in the Country Risk Information area. (The country risk functions are available in Banking only.)

The limit characteristic Trader is set to the name of the user by default.

      6.      On the Generated Char. tab page you can edit the values of the generated characteristics of the transaction.

Result

You have checked whether a new transaction complies with or exceeds the limit, and possibly updated the limit. In the data group Limit Check Result the system reports the utilization of the limit by means of a traffic-light display, and the status of the update.
