Customizing Settings (SAP Library - European Monetary Union: Euro (CA-EUR))

Customizing Settings

Prerequisites

Before you can carry out the contract currency changeover, you also need to make some general settings which do not only apply to the Loans component. If you are already using other SAP R/3 modules, you may already have made some of the settings detailed in steps 1. and 2. of the procedure.

Procedure

Defining the euro currencies: In R/3 Customizing, choose Global Settings ® Currencies.

Define the participating currencies and the euro in R/3 Customizing under Treasury Management ® Basic Functions ® Euro Currencies ® Define Participating Currencies for Euro Changeover.

In the Loans area (TR-LO), you can only change over the contract currency for currencies defined as participating currencies in this table.

You can only convert the contract currency to the currency that is defined as the target currency in Customizing. When it converts the contract currency, the system also checks whether the currency of the loan to be converted is defined in the translation table in Customizing and whether a fixed rate exists for the currency pair "currency to be converted - target currency".

Define the flow types for adjustment postings and currency swap postings.

In R/3 Customizing, choose Treasury Management ® Loans ® Transaction Management ® Flow Types ® Define Flow Types.

Sample Customizing entries delivered with the system (from Release 4.5A):

Flow type	Name	Flow category	Calculation category	Activity ID	Activity category
0910	A_Increase disbursement commitment euro	EUA+	NOOP	07	0023
0915	A_Reduce disbursement commitment euro	EUA-	NOOP	08	0024
0920	A_Increase remaining capital euro	EUR+	NOOP	07	0023
0925	A_Reduce remaining capital euro	EUR-	NOOP	08	0024
0930	A_Increase interest calculation capital euro	EUZ+	AA	07	0023
0935	A_Reduce interest calculation capital euro	EUZ-	SS	08	0024
0940	A_Currency swap position inflow	2UBZ	NOOP	07	0023
0945	A_Currency swap position outflow	2UBA	NOOP	08	0024
0981	A_Euro transfer credit	EUUB	NOOP	08	0024
0980	A_Euro transfer debit	EUUB	NOOP	07	0023
0950	A_Currency swap for discount: Outflow	-	NOOP	08	0024
0952	A_Currency swap for discount: Inflow	-	NOOP	07	0023

For the currency swap of the balance sheet position, you need to set the flow categories to 2UBA and 2UBZ. During the changeover, the system changes these flow categories to EUUB. You need to make the settings in this way to enable the system to determine the flow types automatically. The flow categories are replaced to prevent the flows from being taken into account for evaluations.

Flow types for currency swap postings and adjustments to capital amounts: See above

Flow types for adjustments to balances: See the standard Customizing settings delivered with the system and Note 24254

Before the changeover, you must assign the flow types defined in step 3 to the application function.

In R/3 Customizing, choose Treasury ® Treasury Management ® Loans ® Transaction Management ® Condition Types ® Define Condition Groups.

For the contract changeover, assign all the above flow types to the application function (Appl.func.) 850. To reset the contract changeover, assign all the flow types with the flow categories EUUB, 2UBA and 2UBZ to the application function 851.

Make the following settings for currency swap postings for open items:

Define two flow types for the currency swap posting for each (original) flow type that generates an open item (such as debit positions, overpayments).

Assign the currency swap flow types to the original flow types as offsetting flows.

Relationships for currency swap postings for accrual/deferral: 100,101

Relationships for balance adjustments: 102,103

Relationships for currency swap postings for open items: 104, 105
