Re: buckets for fx exposures

Hello,

did you try IMG -> Financial Supply Chain Management -> Treasury and Risk Management

Transaction Manager -> General Settings -> Exposure Management 2.0 -> Define Periods (tr. SM30 -> TEMV_PERIOD)

Define Periods

Use

In this IMG activity, you can define planning periods for your raw exposures.

When you enter a raw exposure in the Exposure Management 2.0, you can assign the plannning period and the planning year to the line items instead of the due date or in addition to the due date. The planning period together with the planning year defines the period in which the raw exposure expire. If you do not enter a due date for your raw exposure in raw exposure maintenance (transaction FTREX1), the last working day of the relevant period acts as the expiry date / due date for the exposure.

The planning period and the planning year are differentiation criteria for your exposure positions.

• If you have not entered the planning period and planning year in the raw exposure, the system - when creating the exposure position - derives the planning period and the planning year from the due date and the planning year variant of the relevant exposure position type and adds them to the exposure position (but not in the raw exposure).

• If you do not want to have the planning period and the planning year as differentiation criteria, you can set the No Planning Period and Planning Year indicator in the activity Define Exposure Position Types.

Requirements

You have to define fiscal year variants in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New)under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) ->  Ledgers -> Fiscal Year and Posting Periods ->Maintain Fiscal Year Variant (Maintain Shortened Fisc. Year). For each fiscal year variant, you have to maintain the posting periods that belong to the fiscal year variant.

Activities

In the maintenance view, choose New Entries and enter the following:

• 3-digit identifier for the planning period

• Short text for the planning period

• Choose the planning year variant (= fiscal year variant).

• Choose the posting period of the planning year variant relevant for this planning period.

• Save your entries.

Example

If you would like to have quarterly planning periods for your raw exposures, you have to make the following settings:

You can assign this period in line item data.
