Updating Derived Business Transactions (SAP Library - Functions in the Parallel Valuation Areas)

Update Derived Business Transactions

Use

You only need to use this function if you have specified that the derived business transactions should be generated offline in the IMG activity Control of Processing of Derived Business Transactions. In this case, the system does not generate the derived business transactions for the valuation areas automatically when you create, change or post an operative business transaction.

Note

If you have chosen offline processing, the position components (such as the book values) are not always up-to-date.

If you have a large amount of data, it can be useful to opt for offline processing and schedule the update run for derived business transactions [RTPM_TRL_DERIVE_TRANSACTIONS] as a batch job, for example every evening.

If you have chosen to have the derived business transactions generated online in the IMG activity Control of Processing of Derived Business Transactions, the system recalculates the derived business transactions every time you process an operative business transaction, which means that they are always up-to-date.

Activities

In the application menus for the Money Market, Foreign Exchange, Securities, Derivatives and Loans areas, choose Accounting ® Parallel Valuation Areas ® Derived Business Transactions ® Update.

If you only want to run the update for certain accounting codes and valuation areas, specify these in the selection screen.

You can simulate the update of the derived business transactions first by selecting the Test run indicator. If you do not set this indicator, the system generates the derived business transactions according to your Customizing settings.
