Automatic Financial Object Integration 

Use

With automatic financial object integration (FO Integration), you can choose to enter manually the financial object data immediately when entering the master data, or let the system derive the financial object data. The function can be used when entering data for the following transactions. The following rules apply:

·        Group 1

-          BCA account

-          Variable transactions (applies for the SAP Banking application component only)

-          Generic transactions

-          Facility of SAP Banking

You can generate the relevant parts of the financial object (analysis parameters, profitability analysis, default risk and limit, external key figures) as tab pages. You can fill these in when you create transactions. You cannot create the Profitability Analysis tab page for facilities.

·        Group 2

-          Loan transactions

-          Money market transactions

-          Foreign exchange transactions

-          OTC derivatives

-          Securities and listed derivatives

·         Securities account class position

·         Futures account class position

The tab pages Analysis Parameters, Default Risk Limit (not for futures account class position) and Profitability Analysis (not for securities account class position and futures account class position) are created for each company code.

Prerequisites

Group 1:

To be able to use financial object integration, you must have set the FO Integration Active/Component Active indicator for the individual transactions (BCA account, variable transaction, generic transaction, facility) in Customizing under Activate/Deactivate Automatic Financial Object Integration. In Customizing, choose:

SAP Banking -> SEM Banking -> Profitability Analysis -> Single Transaction Costing -> Automatic Integration of Financial Objects in Transaction Master Data or

SAP Banking -> SEM Banking -> Common Settings for Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management -> Automatic Integration of Financial Objects in Transaction Master Data or

SAP Banking -> SEM Banking -> Default Risk and Limit System -> Basic Settings -> Automatic Integration of Financial Objects in Transaction Master Data or

Financial Supply Chain Management -> Treasury and Risk Management -> Basic Analyzer Settings -> Automatic Integration of Financial Objects in Transaction Master Data ® Other Transactions or

Financial Supply Chain Management -> Treasury and Risk Management -> Credit Risk Analyzer ® Basic Settings -> Automatic Integration of Financial Objects in Transaction Master Data ® Other Transactions

and then

BCA Account -> Activate/Deactivate Automatic Financial Object Integration

Variable Transaction -> Activate/Deactivate Automatic Financial Object Integration

Generic Transaction -> Activate/Deactivate Automatic Financial Object Integration

Facilities -> Activate/Deactivate Automatic Financial Object Integration

The system generates the relevant parts of the financial object (analysis parameters, profitability analysis, default risk and limit, external key figures) as tab pages for the activated components. If at least one component is active then the system automatically sets the general part of the financial object and the tab page for the external key figures to active.

You can activate automatic financial object integration based on the bank area and the product type for BCA accounts:

Group 2:

To be able to use financial object integration, the Component Active indicator must have been set in Customizing for the individual transactions and the selected components. In Customizing, choose:

SAP Banking -> SEM Banking -> Profitability Analysis -> Single Transaction Costing -> Automatic Integration of Financial Objects in Transaction Master Data or

SAP Banking -> SEM Banking -> Common Settings for Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management -> Automatic Integration of Financial Objects in Transaction Master Data or

SAP Banking -> SEM Banking -> Default Risk and Limit System -> Basic Settings -> Automatic Integration of Financial Objects in Transaction Master Data or

Financial Supply Chain Management -> Treasury and Risk Management -> Basic Analyzer Settings -> Automatic Integration of Financial Objects in Transaction Master Data or

Financial Supply Chain Management -> Treasury and Risk Management -> Credit Risk Analyzer ® Basic Settings -> Automatic Integration of Financial Objects in Transaction Master Data ® Other Transactions

and then

Loan -> Activate/Deactivate Automatic Financial Object Integration

Foreign Exchange -> Activate/Deactivate Automatic Financial Object Integration

OTC Derivatives -> Activate/Deactivate Automatic Financial Object Integration.

Money Market -> Activate/Deactivate Automatic Financial Object Integration

Securities and Listed Derivatives ® Activate/Deactivate Automatic Financial Object Integration (not for profitability analysis)

You can activate automatic financial object integration based on the company code and the product type for the following transactions:

·         Loan transactions

·         Money market transactions

·         Foreign exchange transactions

·         OTC derivatives

The class positions in securities accounts and class position in futures account can be restricted according to company code.

Groups 1 and 2:

If you want the financial object data to be derived rather than maintained manually when during processing, you have to define derivation strategies. These derivation strategies describe what information needs to be derived from the transaction master data.

Features

The effect of activating automatic financial object integration for a component is that when you come to maintain the transaction data, the system provides online entry screens for entering the financial object data or derives the data using the relevant derivation steps from Customizing.

The following special features apply to the transaction forms ‘option spread’ and ‘currency option.’ You must generate two financial objects for these transactions. There is therefore no interface for these transactions and no check is carried out before saving.

When you save the transaction, the system checks the information in the various parts of the financial object. If one of the financial object parts contains errors, the system reacts in one of the following ways, depending on the Customizing setting:

·        It prevents you from saving the master data, that is, neither the transaction itself nor the financial object with the components activated for automatic FO Integration are saved on the database. This is labeled as fully active.

·        It allows you to save the master data without the financial object part that contains errors. If all the components activated for automatic FO integration contain faulty data, the general part of the financial object is not saved on the database either. This is labeled as partially active.

The following table shows the system’s responses based on the transaction category Generic Transaction:

Case 1: Automatic FO integration is only active for component X

Customizing Settings			Saved to Database:
Automatic FO integration active	System reaction when there are errors	Data composition	Generic Transaction	General part of FO	Part for component X in FO
Component X	Saving not possible (completely active)	X data correct	yes	yes	yes
Component X	Saving possible without the data of the part for component X (partially active)	X data correct	yes	yes	yes
Component X	Saving not possible (completely active)	X data contains errors	no	no	no
Component X	Saving possible without the data of the part for component X (partially active)	X data contains errors	yes	no	no

 

Case 2: Automatic FO integration is active for component Y as well

Customizing Settings			Saved to Database:
Automatic FO integration active	System reaction when there are errors	Data composition	Generic transactions	General part of FO	Part for component X in FO	Part for component Y in FO
Component X	Saving not possible (completely active)	Y data contains errors	no	no	no	no
Component X	Saving possible without the data of the part for component Y (partially active)	Y data contains errors	yes	yes	yes	no
Component X	Saving not possible (completely active)	X data contains errors	no	no	no	no
Component X	Saving possible without the data of the part for component X (partially active)	X data contains errors	yes	yes	no	yes

Effects

If financial object integration is active for a transaction category, this results in changes in the way in which the system carries out characteristic derivation for the Market Risk Analysis and Default Risk and Limit System components. See Editing Characteristic Derivations.
