Financial Objects 
Use
Once you have saved the master data for a bank transaction, further information must also be saved in order to use the SEM components of SAP Banking. You enter this data in the financial object. The financial object acts as a link between the respective bank transaction and the valuation routines required for SAP Banking.
Structure
A bank transaction’s financial object contains all of the information necessary for the implemented SEM components. The following entry screens exist:
· General Part
On this screen, you enter the general information for a financial object. This information is relevant to all SEM components.
· Profitability Analysis
On this screen, you enter the financial object information that relates to the Profitability Analysis component.
· Analysis (RM)
On this screen you enter financial object data that are relevant for the components Market Risk Analysis and Asset Liability Management.
· Default Risk and Limit System
On this screen, you enter the financial object information that relates to Default Risk and Limitation.
· External Key Figures
External key figures are items of information that you can store in the SAP system for further calculations. They take the form of amounts, quantities, or percentages. The key figures themselves are not calculated in the SAP system.
External key figures are currently only used in the components Default Risk and Limit System (for determining the settlement amount) and Asset Liability Management.
As a prerequisite for this, you must have stored the customer-specific key figure categories (customer name space Y or Z) needed to store the customer-specific key figures. You can do this in Customizing under SAP Banking ® SEM Banking ® Data Pool ® Define External Key Figures.
· Additional Data
The object number for financial transactions is displayed as additional data.
Prerequisite
Before you can
