In this step, you define your financial transactions and assign them to your product types. You also specify the considerable technical administrative functions that you can carry out with the product types you have defined.
Requirements
You have defined the product types you require in the step entitled Define product types.

Activities
Choose New entries to create your transaction type.
Enter the product type for which you want to define a transaction type. Enter a three-character alphanumeric name for the transaction type.

Assign your transaction type to a transaction category. In the derivatives area, the transaction categories available are: 100 Purchase 200 Sale 300 Swap
Assign your transaction type to a processing category. The processing category determines which activity categories are scheduled for a transaction type and thus reflect the individual steps to be carried out for a transaction.

The 'automatic posting release' determines whether you want to use the 'release' function, or whether the flows generated by a transaction are to be posted without being released explicitly.
If you conclude transactions in currencies other than your own local currency, you need to value these transactions on the balance sheet key date. The valuation may result in postings for realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from exchange rate fluctuations. Under the heading 'valuation', you defined which flow types are to be used for these postings.
You can use the 'limit group' field for the purpose of updating limit management, if you want to fix a limit at product type or transaction type level.
