If position management is active in your system, one portfolio master record is assigned to each item of a trading contract. The portfolio is assigned automatically when maintaining a trading contract, however, the assigned portfolio can be changed manually when alternative portfolio records exist.

When you want to associate a sales item with a purchasing item, the system searches for the target item using the portfolio master record as the key.

When the necessary data is entered in the contract document, the system searches for the appropriate portfolio master record. If multiple records are selected, the system processes according to the determination rules (manual/automatic determination). The assignment method depends on the customizing settings.
