Product types help to differentiate between different Money Market financial instruments. Differentiation is necessary if the individual instruments are subject to different processing rules or if you wish to create different levels for evaluation. By assigning different structure characteristics, various forms of transactions can be predefined.

Only via the combination of the product type with a transaction type is the financial transaction finally set.

In this step, you maintain the product types you require.

Activities

  1. Name your product type. You have a 3-character alphanumeric field for this.
  2. Specify the long text and short text for your new product type.
  3. Assign your product type to a product category. The product category is an internal key and controls how the product types assigned to it are processed.

Example

In the Derivatives area, the following product categories are available:

  1. 610 CAP/FLOOR
  2. 620 SWAP
  3. 630 FRA
  4. 700 Futures
  5. 710 External underlying
  6. 750 Listed options
  7. 760 OTC options

Further notes

Special Features of Interest Rate Instruments

CAP/FLOOR: For these product categories you must enter the corresponding upper limit/lower limit indicator. This indicator determines whether the user is required to specify an upper or lower limit in the application (for example, CAP: 1 - upper limit).

CURRENCY SWAP: If the new product type you want to create is a currency swap, you must flag the corresponding indicator.

  • Number range
