Background documentationHA Rule 150: Hedge Adjustment P&L / OCI

 

The HA rule 150 Hedge Adjustment P&L / OCI is used in the hedging scenario 120 FVH: Stocks Hedged with OTC Option.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for the Transaction Manager under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Accounting End of the navigation path, you need to make the required settings for the valuation in the following Customizing activities:

  • In the Customizing activity Assign Update Types for Valuation, assign the update types to be used for the flows of the valuation (such as for the write-ups and write-downs).

  • In Customizing activity Assign Alternative Update Types for Position Outflows, enter the alternative update types for posting the hedge adjustment (condition: P-HA: Hedge Adjustment). In this way, the hedge adjustment is posted to a separate (P&L) account.

Features

The HA rule 150 Hedge Adjustment P&L / OCI is almost identical to rule 100 Hedge Adjustment P&L apart from the following exception: In the case of the HA rule 100, the entire write-up/write-down amount is written to the components 1301 (Hedge Adjustment) and 1300 (For internal calculation: To be classified) during valuation. In the case of the HA rule 150, the write-up amount that is written to components 1301 and 1300 during valuation does not exceed a threshold value. The amount that is in excess of the threshold value is written to the component 1002 (Security Valuation) using a separate posting line. The threshold value is determined from the strike price of the stock option.
