Activities

Define and Activate Groups

You can use groups to enter additional information on hedging relationships in the function Manage Hedging Relationships [transaction TPM100]. You do this on the Hedging Relationship Details tab page in the Grouping Fields screen area.

  • For grouping 1 and grouping 2, you define the values to be assigned in the application menu for Hedge Accounting for Positions under Start of the navigation path Treasury and Risk Management Next navigation step Transaction Manager Next navigation step Hedge Accounting for Positions Next navigation step Master Data Next navigation step Grouping Key 1 / Grouping Key 2 End of the navigation path.

  • If you activate the 3rd grouping, you can define a text of your choice for a hedging relationship in this field.

  1. Set the Grouping Active indicator for grouping 1, 2, or 3.

  2. Enter a description for the grouping.

  3. Save your entries.

Number Ranges

Here you first define number ranges for the following objects:

  • Hedging Relationships

  • Hedged Items

  • Hedging Instruments

  • Hypothetical Derivatives

Under Assign Number Ranges, define for each company code and valuation area which of the number ranges defined above is used.

Effectiveness Test

Settings for Linear Regression

  • Define Condition Types

  • BAdI: Linear Regression Assessment Method Enhancement

Define Critical Term Type

Here, you define the critical term types that are used for the critical term match method.

Effectiveness test method

Here, you define the effectiveness test methods that you want to use.

In the IMG activity Define Hedging Profiles, you assign these effectiveness test methods.

Example:

  1. Choose New Entries.

  2. Assign a 3-digit code for the method and a name.

  3. Choose the category of the effectiveness test method. Es steht Ihnen die folgenden Typen zur Verfügung:

    • 11 Dollar Offset Ratio

    • 12 Schleifer-Noise Method

    • 13 Dollar Offset Basis Point

    • 21 Linear Regression with Time Reference

    • 22 Linear Regression with Market Data Sets

    • 31 Critical Term Match Method

    • 91 Upload Dollar Offset Ratio

    • 92 Upload Linear Regression

  4. Choose the offset calculation category.

  5. Define the end date and start date for the prospective effectiveness test.

  6. Define in which intervals the dollar offset test is effective.

  7. Under Dividend Inheritance you define whether dividend payments should be included in the effectiveness test. If dividend payments should be included, you must define which.

  8. Save your entries.

Alternative setting to delivery scenarios

It is defined in a scenario

  • which product categories are allowed in a hedging relationship for the hedged items and the hedging instruments

  • which current value category is used

The scenarios are system settings. You can only use the scenarios provided by SAP.

Example:

Scenario 110 is adjusted using FVH exchange rate risk. Spot-spot value date (or currency risk) is provided for the following:

  • Permitted product categories for hedged items in a hedging relationship are

    • 010 Stocks

    • 020 Investment certificates

    • 160 Shareholding

  • Permitted product categories for the hedging instruments in a hedging relationship:

    • 740 Forward securities transaction

  • As the current value calculation category, the category 210 Adjusted intrinsic spot value is designated.

In IMG activities Different Setting to Delivery Scenarios: Hedged Item and Different Setting to Delivery Scenarios: Hedging Instrument, you can exclude certain product types (that are based on the permitted product categories) from being used in the hedging relationships.

All entries here are optional. The system runs with the scenarios provided by SAP. Entries are possible if you want to deviate from the standard settings. If both tables are empty, then the system is working without any errors.

Example

  1. Choose New Entries.

  2. Choose scenario 110.

  3. Choose the product category of the product type to be excluded.

    • For hedged items, choose product categories 010, 020 or 160.

    • For hedging instruments, choose product category 740.

  4. Choose the product type you want to exclude.

  5. Set the Not Allowed indicator.

  6. Save your entries.

Define Hedging Profiles

A hedging profile is assigned to each hedging relationship in function Manage Hedging Relationships [transaction TPM100], tab Hedging Relationship Details, area Risk and Profile.

In a hedging profile you define which scenario should be valid for the hedging relationship, which effectiveness test methods should be used, how often the effectiveness test should be performed and how long (in days) an effectiveness test is valid, as well as whether the documentation should occur automatically and if so, which PDF form should be used for this.

Here, you can make the following settings for the test plan of the hedging relationships:

  • The test plan serves as a proposal; all tests are valid

    The dates of the test plan are default values. Only the dates for the designation and the dedesignation are mandatory.

    The function Perform Effectiveness Test applies the dates of the test plan.

    During the valuation, the system checks - using the settings in the hedging profile for the validity of the effectiveness test in days - whether the last effectiveness test is still valid at the time the valuation is performed.

  • The test plan is mandatory, additional tests are optional

    The dates of the test plan are mandatory. An effectiveness test is always valid until the next test date. The settings in the hedging profile relating to the validity of the effectiveness test are obsolete.

    However, it is possible to perform additional effectiveness tests. However, such tests are not considered by the valuation.

  • Effectiveness tests are disabled (for example, shortcut method)

    If you select these settings, it is not possible to perform effectiveness tests for the hedging relationships.

    The effectiveness test status of the hedging relationships is Always Effective.

    • You can select this setting for hedging profiles that you use to portray hedging relationships in accordance with the shortcut method. With the shortcut method, a hedging relationship is always effective, without this being tested explicitly.

    • For hedging profiles used to portray valuation units, you must select this setting.

      For the valuation units relating to German law, there is no obligation to perform effectiveness tests for hedging relationships. For this reason, there is no effectiveness test in the hedging scenarios for the unit of valuation.

Example:

  1. Choose New Entries.

  2. Assign a 3-character name and a description for the profile.

  3. Choose scenario 110.

  4. Choose the effectiveness test methods you want for the prospective and retrospective effectiveness test.

  5. Specify the validity of an effectiveness test in days.

  6. Define the rhythm for the test plan.

    • Monthly

    • Quarterly

    • Annually

    • Manually

  7. If you want to get the documentation on the hedging relationships of this profile generated automatically, set the Autom.Docum. indicator and define the PDF form to be used.

    SAP provides the form TR_F_THX_NOTE_HREL.

  8. Save your entries.

  • Designation

  • Dedesignation

  • Classification

Release

If you want to use a release approval procedure in P-HA for the documentation on a hedging relationship and the business transactions designation and dedesignation (such as the dual control principle), you can set up release workflows in the following IMG activities. For these release workflows, the SAP Business Workflow is used for which you must define the necessary settings in Customizing for Basis under Start of the navigation path Business Management Next navigation step SAP Business Workflow Next navigation step Maintain Standard Settings End of the navigation path.
