External Transactions 

Definition

External transactions are transactions that have the following features:

·        They exist as raw transactions in the SAP system but have not yet been saved in the data pool.

·        They have already been saved in the data pool and were updated during the day but which have not yet been updated by end-of-day processing.

Structure

All basic key figures and limit characteristics must be provided for these transactions. These can be imported from your bank's own front-end system by means of the RFC interface, or you can use the function for starting the single transaction check manually in the application. In Treasury and Risk Management (TRM), you can use the integrated limit check.

Integration

In the Default Risk and Limit System, you can calculate attributable amounts for these transactions, and update the limit utilizations using the limit characteristics.
