In the entry fields that appear, you need to make the following entries:

If you work with external number assignment, you have to enter a key for the transaction in the corresponding field, which enables it to be uniquely identified within a company code. Otherwise, the system assigns a number automatically and displays this number when you save the transaction.

You can choose to enter the transaction as an order or contract. When you execute the order, it becomes a binding contract.

The clearing house for the forward exchange enters the contract as a counterparty for both sides.

An order expires automatically when the due date is reached. It can then no longer be executed. In other words, the order becomes inactive.

The following entries are required:

  • Trader

  • Order header (securities account)

  • Items (flow type - purchase or sale, number of items, ID number, price or rate)

You can also branch to the entry screens for the general transaction management functions. You can use the tab pages to navigate between the different screens.
