·        Contract type (for example, money market, foreign exchange)

·        Product categoriesfor the respective contract type, (for example, fixed-term deposit for money market)

·        Product types for the corresponding contract type/product category (for example, time deposit for the product category fixed-term deposit)

·        Transaction typesfor a product type (for example, time deposit investments or borrowings)

Prerequisites

·        The business partner must exist in the system, not be marked for deletion, and be released.

·        You must create the derivation procedure in Customizing for the application areas Money Market, Foreign Exchange, Securities, and Derivatives under Define Derivation Procedures and Rules.
