Generate Transaction Types (SAP Library - Conversion Program: Securities Transaction (Rel. 4.6A))

Generate Transaction Types

Use

This report program generates the relevant transaction types per product type for the existing transaction flow types for purchase and sale transactions. The IMG activity Define Transaction Types is generated automatically from the existing information for the product types and for the flow types. The report program also assigns the transaction flow types to the transaction types (IMG activity Assign Flow Types to Transaction Type).

Integration

This report program is part of the conversion program for the new securities transaction for Release 4.6A. This conversion program consists of five report programs. We recommend that you run them in the following order:

Generate Transaction Types
Generate Flow Data
Generate Assignment of Planning Levels
Generate Account Determination
Generate Assignment of Position Management Procedure

Prerequisites

You must have defined the transaction flow types.

To define the new transaction flow types, you first determine all the flow types previously used for transaction processing. These are all the flow types defined in Customizing activity Define Flow Types that have the following securities flow categories:

A

Inflow

S

Outflow

KA

Capitalized incidental costs

KN

Incidental costs not capitalized

KT

Withholding tax

KTR

Refundable withholding tax

TS

Accrued interest

Note To find the flow types you are looking forward in the table in Customizing activity Define Flow Types, choose Selection criteria ® By contents. Now select Flow category in the dialog box Field selection, enter a flow category, and click Choose. The system displays all the flow types for this flow category.

Create a new transaction flow type for each old flow type. The transaction flow types are structured so that (no debit/credit indicator) you only need to create one transaction flow type for accrued interest for the two securities flow types.

The following rules apply for assigning the new flow categories to a transaction flow type when you create the new transaction flow types:

Flow types for	the related new flow category
Purchase	10
Sale	11
Accrued interest	23
All other flow types	90

The calculation category is automatically determined from the flow category assigned to the flow type.

You can copy the settings for Relevant to posting and Relevance to CM from the old flow types.

Only deselect the Net total amount in exceptional cases.

You can copy the payment transaction settings from the previous flow types.

Note

Compare your settings with those in the Customizing delivered with the system.

You have assigned the transaction flow types to the securities flow types.

Since the position management function in the securities area is still based on the securities flow types, you must specify exactly which securities flow type corresponds to the new transaction flow types in the IMG activity Assign Transaction Flow Types to Securities Flow Types. The assignment must be unique. In other words, a new transaction flow type must be assigned to just one securities flow type and vice versa.

Go to Define Number Ranges for Transaction and define a number range for the transaction management functions. When you define number ranges, you have the option of defining your own number ranges for transactions in the securities area or of using the same number ranges as the ones you also use in the money market, foreign exchange and derivatives areas.

If you already use the money market, foreign exchange and derivatives areas, follow the same procedure to define/assign the number ranges in the securities area as you used in the other areas.

Features

Selection criteria

Test run	First carry out a test run. A test run executes the report program, but does not make any changes to the database. The test run allows you to recognize errors and correct them before you execute the update run.
Update run	Only execute the update run if there were no errors in the test run.
Number range Number range: Underlying	If you specify a number range, it is used for all transaction types. If you specify a number range for the underlying, it is used for all transaction types. If you do not enter a number range, you must assign the number ranges to the transaction types manually at a later date.

Output

The report program generates one transaction type per product type for each purchase and sale flow type.

It creates a transaction type with transaction category 200 (sale) for each sale flow type and a transaction type with transaction category 100 (purchase) for each purchase flow type. It does this for all the product types defined.

If there is more than one purchase flow type, the first transaction type is assigned the number 100, the next 101, and so on. The same applies for sale flow types whose transaction types begin with the number 200.

The text that describes the flow type is used to describe the transaction type. The flow category determines the transaction category.

If you entered a number range in the selection for the report program, it is used for each transaction type.

The system usually selects processing category 0002, since it was not previously possible to process a securities transaction without settlement.

You also set the automatic posting release indicator so that you no longer have to specifically release the transactions before you post them.

Note

If the report was cancelled during the Update run, and you want to restart it once you have corrected the errors, first delete all the Customizing settings that were already written by the report program.

Subsequent tasks

You can still make the following changes to the transaction types at a later date:

You can give the transaction type a different name.
You can change the number range interval.
If you do not want to use the automatic release function, you can remove the indicator again.

Caution

You can neither change the transaction category nor the processing category for the transaction type.

A	Inflow
S	Outflow
KA	Capitalized incidental costs
