Editing and Posting an Activity

You can choose from the following processing options:

  1. Date details

  2. Here, you can change the value date of the posting activity. You cannot change the other data, since it has either been derived from a condition or defined during manual posting.

  3. General details

  4. Enter the paying bank, the counterparty and the internal bank account. The system fills the internal bank account field automatically, either with the internal bank account defined for the securities account, or with the account defined in the standing instructions for the counterparty. In order for this to happen, the counterparty standing instructions must have been indicated as active in the company code additional data in Customizing.

  5. Posting data

  6. Enter the posting date for the manual posting activity and your own allocation text, which appears in the FI document after the posting has been made.

  7. Exchange rates

  8. If the manual posting activity relates to several currencies, the system displays the exchange rates between the position currency and the settlement currency, between the settlement currency and the local currency and between the position currency and the local currency. Only the rates actually required for currency translation are visible.

    If you change the exchange rates, the system immediately translates all flows in the manual posting activity on the basis of the new rates. The amounts are always translated in the following order:

    Start of the navigation path Amount in position currency End of the navigation path

    Start of the navigation path Amount in settlement currency End of the navigation path

    Start of the navigation path Amount in local currency End of the navigation path

    The system defaults to the exchange rates on the value date. You can restore the default rate for each exchange rate at any time by deleting the corresponding entry.
