To represent a company's capital investment, you can map loans given in the form of so-called "traded" borrower's notes using special order management functions. In order management you can enter purchase and sale orders. Borrower's notes that are "not traded" are represented in the system using a different product type, as refinancing loans.

1. New transactions for traded borrower's notes can be represented from the "reservation" stage using order management. This allows you to enter the key contract data for a borrower's note loan in advance without actually creating a contract.
2. By activating the reservation, you can then create a contract. The data already entered in the reservation is transferred to the contract and you can enter additional order data. In most cases, contracts are created when a borrower's note is purchased. To reflect this, the system allows you to create a purchase order and a contract in one step.
3. If the original buyer of the borrower's note wants to assign the note to another party, you enter a sale order.
4. You use the order settlement function to post the order data, thus settling the order. The purchase and sale data is then transferred to Financial Accounting.
