Processing Limit Transfers 

Use

You can reduce the free amount of one limit by a fixed amount and for a specified time period in order to increase the free amount of another limit. Transferring limits enables you to allocate risk capital efficiently.

During their period of validity, limit transfers are included in the overview of utilizations and in the single transaction check.

By choosing  Notes, you are able to create notes, and display existing notes in various places when you are processing limits. You define notes in Customizing under ® Limit Management ® Note IDs ® Define Note IDs for Limit Transfers.

Creating Limit Transfers

You can create limit transfers in various ways:

·       From the overview screen of limit maintenance

·       From the overview screen of utilizations

·       By copying an existing limit transfer in collective processing (see the documentation about the Collective Processing of Limit Transfers)

From the overview screen of limit maintenance/utilizations, you create limit transfers in the following way:

Select both limits.

...

      1.      Choose  Limit Transfer.

      2.      The system displays the screen Create Limit Transfer: Data

      3.      Enter a name for the transfer.

      4.      Enter the start date and the end date.

      5.      Specify the currency, the internal, and, if appropriate, the external delta.

      6.      Using the selection button, define to which limit the amount is to be added.

      7.      Choose  Save to save your entries.

Displaying Limit Transfers

You can display limit transfers in various ways:

·       From collective processing

·       In the maintenance screen for individual limits by choosing the tab page Limit Transfer (you can display the information in detail by choosing  Display)

·       By double-clicking on the limit amount in the overview of limit utilizations or in limit maintenance.

The values are displayed in a dialog box. Note, however, that in this view it is not possible to distinguish between interim limits and limit transfers. To look at them more closely you need to compare the tab pages Interim Limit and Limit Transfer in the individual maintenance of the limit.

Changing Limit Transfers

You can change limit transfers in various ways:

·       In collective processing

·       By branching to the maintenance screen for individual limits from

¡      the overview screen of limit maintenance (by clicking Choose Limit) or

¡      the overview screen for utilizations (by clicking Maintain Limit)

To change a limit transfer from the screen for maintaining limits individually, you select the Limit Transfer tab page.

...

      1.      Select the limit transfers you require and choose  Change.

      2.      The system displays the screen Change Limit Transfer: Data.

      3.      Make the changes you require and choose  Save to save the data.

Deleting Limit Transfers

You can delete limit transfers in various ways:

·       In the maintenance screen for individual limits by choosing the tab page Limit Transfers and then  Delete.

·       In collective processing

To be able to create limit transfers you need authorization object F_T_VTBLL. When you assign authorizations, note that limit transfers are not subject to a release procedure.

The maximum amount that can be transferred is the total amount of the limit and any existing interim limits. The amount of the interim limit can be transferred only for the period in which it is valid. When you create a limit transfer, the system checks this.
