In this IMG activity you first define limit types, and then assign limit characteristics to these limit types.

The limit type is used to find the determination procedure for limit utilizations, the business partner relationship category, and to determine the extent of evaluations.

Limit characteristics form the basis for deciding whether a transaction is to be attributed to a particular limit type.

Example

You define a four-dimensional limit type with the limit characteristics Business Partner, Limit Product Group, Trader, and Company Code, and then assign the determination procedure Procedure for Credit Risk Exposure to this limit type.

Activities

Define Limit Types

  1. When you choose this function, the system displays the screen in display mode only. If you want to define new limit types, or change existing ones, you first need to choose Change in the command toolbar.
  2. Choose New Entries.
    The system displays the New Entries: Details of Added Entries screen.
  3. Enter a three-character alphanumeric key and a text for the limit type.
  4. In the Determination of Limit Utilizations section, select one of the determination procedures that you defined in the activity Define Determination Procedure.
    In addition, you can define the relevant update category for this limit type. By selecting the update category End-of-Day Processing Only , you can improve system performance for the online check, since the transactions have to be checked against fewer limits.
    The limit currency is the currency in which limits and limit utilizations are managed for this limit type.
    You can use the selection filters you have defined to restrict the limit type to certain segments of the credit portfolio.
    You can also opt to have limits generated automatically if the system determines attributable amounts for limit characteristic values that do not yet have limits.
  5. In the Check Limit Utilizations section you can define the following:
    • Whether single commitments are to be included when the unused limit amount is calculated
    • Whether global collateral is to be displayed
    • Whether the early warning (yellow traffic light) is to be based on an external limit or a percentage barrier

      Note: Single commitments and global collateral apply in SAP Banking only

  6. In the Review section you define the standard number of days after the start of the validity period that the limit is to be reviewed.
  7. In the Release section you specify whether limits of this limit type are subject to the release procedure.
  8. In the Business partner relationships section you define which business partner relationship categories should be considered when the limit utilizations are calculated, and the relevant evaluation depth. When you update the limit utilizations for a business partner, the system then updates the utilizations for all the related business partner.

    By specifying the direction of attribution, you can define in which direction the utilizations of the related business partners are to be updated.
    The transactions of the business partners are attributed 100%, unless a percentage rate for the relationship has been maintained for the business partner. In this case, only the percentage specified is added to the limit amount utilized.

Assign Limit Characteristics

  1. Choose a limit type, and then choose Assign Limit Characteristics.
    The system displays the screen Change Limit Type Characteristics: Overview. The system displays a list of all the characteristics that are assigned to this limit type.
  2. To add a new characteristic, choose New Entries.
  3. Place the cursor on the first free entry, and use the input help to choose the limit characteristics. The system also displays any characteristics that were generated in Market Risk Analysis.

    Note: If limits have already been defined for a limit type, you can no longer change the limit type. As a result, you cannot assign any more new characteristics.

Limit Type Filter

  1. Choose the limit type, and then choose Limit Type Filter.
    The system displays the screen Change View: Limit Type Filter: Overview. The system displays a list of all the limit type filters that are assigned to this limit type.
  2. To add a new limit type filter, choose New Entries.
  3. Using the input help, choose a limit characteristic for which you want to store filter criteria.
    You can choose from the same characteristics as those displayed in the Assign Limit Characteristics step.
  4. Enter a Limit Filter Number only if you want to define multiple filters for the same limit type.
  5. You can enter a value range for the filter by specifying the Lower limit of char. value and the Upper limit of char. value.
  6. If you set the Inclusive/Exclusive indicator to Inclusive of defined values/range, then you define that the limit type is restricted to the range specified.
    If you set the Inclusive/Exclusive indicator to Exclusive of defined values/range, then you define that the range specified in this way is excluded for the limit type.
  7. Use the Option field to control how the system interprets the range. The standard setting is Between lower and upper value (Low <= x <= High).
