Editing a Class (SAP Library

Editing a Class

Prerequisites

To enter new class data, you first have to create the issuer of the security as the Business Partner in the role of Issuer.

Procedure

Choose Treasury ® Treasury management ® Securities ® Master data ® Class. The screen for entering class data appears.

Enter the security ID number.

This number uniquely identifies the security. We recommend that you use the official security ID number.

Prerequisite: You must have defined the number range intervals as external number ranges. To do this, choose Define Number Ranges for Product Types in Customizing for securities.

You can use the F4 Help to search for securities that have already been created. You can search according to the following criteria:

Classification	Status	Search Terms	ID number
	Product type		Short name
	Product category		Long name
	Issuer		Secondary index number
	Issue currency		Index class
	Sec. classification
	Quotation
	Rating

Example:

To search for a certain class using a secondary index, enter the Secondary index no. and the number you are searching for in the Index class field.
If you want to display all the classes with a particular secondary index in addition to the ID number, enter the Secondary index no. and a ‘*’ in the Index class field. The system then displays a list of all classes for which this secondary index has been maintained.

Now choose one of the functions for creating, changing, displaying, deleting or printing class data.

Switching between classes

You can switch between classes by entering a new security ID number in the selection field and choosing a processing function (display, change, etc.). By choosing Enter after entering a new security ID number, you can switch to the new class and remain in the same processing mode (e.g.: Change -> Change).

Additional functions:

Check

This function checks the class for consistency. Any errors that occur here are displayed in a dialog box. The same checks are carried out when you save the class.

Reset

You can use this function when you are in the change mode. It resets the class data to the status it had when it was last saved.

Cash flow

The system displays a simulated cash flow for stocks and bonds on the basis of a purchase with a nominal of 100000.
