Enter the Corporate Action (CA) number.

If the number is assigned internally, the system automatically assigns a CA number.

Choose Create . You use the Create with Reference function to copy an existing corporate action.

In the Basic Data area , enter the Key Date of the position change and a Description of the corporate action.

Define the corporate action in the table below.

The system posts a corporate action by default with the flow types that have already been defined for the relevant flow categories in Customizing for the Transaction Manager . Choose SecuritiesTransaction ManagementFlow Types (Transaction)Define Flow Types . You must define any individual flow types you wish to use with the Display Flow Types function.

Save the corporate action or activate it.

When you save the corporate action, it is assigned status 0 (planned) and you can still change or delete it. You can only post the corporate action after it has been activated.
