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 either Transaction Manager ® Securities ® Master data ® Class or Transaction Manager ® Derivatives ® Master data ® Listed Derivatives ® Class. The screen for maintaining class data appears.

Enter the security ID number.

Note

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

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

Note

You can use the F4 Help to search for classes that have already been created in the system. 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 Example:

If you want to search for a specific class using the secondary index, enter the secondary index number and enter the number you are looking for in the 'Index class' field.
If you want to have all those classes displayed that have a specific secondary index as well as the ID number, enter the secondary index number and enter a '*' in the 'Index class' field. A list of all the classes is displayed for which this secondary index has been maintained.

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