Under Default Financial Transaction use the input help to select Commercial Paper and then enter the Company code, Product type, Transaction type and the Business partner .

You can make the following entries in the Specifications section:

Currency

If you do not specify a currency, the system automatically uses the currency of the company code.

Master agreement

Portfolio

Here you specify whether a transaction should be assigned and the portfolio to which it should be assigned.

If you use external number assignment, now assign a code for the transaction that identifies it uniquely within a company code. If you do not specify a value, the number will be allocated automatically by the system.

Choose Enter to go to the basic data screen for the transaction. Enter or change transaction data and save your transaction.

Use the pushbuttons for detailed screen information.

Further Notes:

You can create a money market transaction directly as a contract. A transaction becomes legally binding with the activity category Contract .

The activity sequence will depend on the processing category chosen in Customizing (with/without settlement).

An activity can be changed as long as it is not relevant for posting. The last activity in the activity chain is relevant for posting. When you save this activity, the transaction is given fixed status.

Within transaction management you can branch from each application to the Business Partner to create or change business partner data.
