Derived Flows 

Use

Dependent on the business partner, you can use the derivation procedure to automatically generate flows when you create a financial transaction. For example, you can make settings to automatically generate tax flows from incoming accrued interest flows when you enter the purchase of a security.

The derivation procedure can be assigned to the business partner at the following hierarchy levels:

Contract type (for example, Money Market, Foreign Exchange)

Product categories for the respective contract type, (for example, fixed-term deposit for Money Market)

Product types for the corresponding contract type/product category (for example, time deposit for the product category fixed-term deposit)

Transaction types for a product type (for example, time deposit investments or borrowings)

Prerequisites

The business partner must exist in the system, not be marked for deletion, and released.

You must create the derivation procedure in Customizing for the application areas Money Market, Foreign Exchange, Securities and Derivatives under ‘Define Derivation Procedures and Rules’.
