Creating Cash Flow Transactions

Prerequisites

See Cash Flow Transactions and Processing Cash Flow Transactions.

Procedure

Entries:

Choose Create.

Enter the Company code, Product type, Transaction type and the Business partner.

You can make the following entries in the Specifications section:

Currency: If you do not specify a currency when you create a financial transaction, the system automatically uses the currency of the company code.

Master agreement: You can use the Master Agreement function to define general arrangements.

Portfolio: If you want to assign the transaction to a portfolio, enter the portfolio in the corresponding field.

Alternatively, you can enter the portfolio and master agreement on the Administration tab in the Position Assignment section.

If you work with external number assignment, you have to enter a key for the transaction in the corresponding field, which enables it to be uniquely identified within a company code. Otherwise, the system assigns a number automatically and displays this number when you save the transaction.

Choose Enter to go to the basic data screen for the transaction. On the Structure tab page, you enter the actual transaction data of the purchase or sale.

Enter the following data:

In the Term field you enter the start of term and the end of term and the period (start inclusive and end inclusive).

Enter the following values in the Flows area in the same way as you do when you generate the cash flow:

Flow type
Name of flow
Direction of flow Inflow of funds are indicated by "+" and outflows by "-".
Payment amount
Payment currency
Payment date
Posting status of the flow
Option of entering an explanatory short text.

A financial transaction is based on the sequence of these flows. They describe changes to the position, expenses and revenues (such as interest and charges), and payments that are related to the transaction.

To save the transaction, choose Save.

You can also navigate to the tab pages for general transaction management.
