In this step you define how to request exchange rates via the external partner program of your datafeed provider.

Example

Notation:

  • Currency pair:            CHF DEM
  • Exchange rate type:        B
  • R/3 currency ratios:        1:1

Corresponding datafeed notation (example for Dow Jones, April 1997):

  • Instrument name:            FCHFDEM
  • Data source:                QFRecord
  • Instrument property:        ASK
  • External currency ratios:    1:1

Example of a market value delivered by the datafeed: 1.1756 (1 CHF = 1.1756 DEM)

Make sure you enter the external currency ratios which depend on the value delivered by the datafeed. Here is another example:

  • Instrument name:            LXCHFDEM
  • Data source:                QFRecord
  • Instrument property:        ASK
  • External currency ratios:    100:1

Example of a market value delivered by the datafeed: 117.56 (100 * 1 CHF = 1 * 117.56 DEM)

Ask your datafeed provider which market values are delivered and which external currency ratios you need to define.

Requirements

In Customizing you have to define:

  • currency symbols, via Global Settings -> Currencies -> Check currency codes
  • currency pairs and ratios, via Global Settings -> Currencies -> Define translation ratios for currency translation
  • exchange rate types, via Global Settings -> Currencies -> Check exchange rate type.

The "Realtime price/rate supply" function operates on the assumption that your external partner program can operate in a realtime environment. Ask your datafeed provider if your external partner program meets this requirement and if it can provide market data from the system after one request.

Activities

  1. Define how you want to import your exchange rates via the external partner program and hence via the datafeed.
  2. If you wish to display a rate history in the system, set the Permanently save market data in R/3 indicator.
  3. You can also establish whether rate provision takes place via requests from the system or realtime via the external partner program of your datafeed provider.
  4. Save your entries.
