When you exercise an option, the system generates the corresponding underlying transactions. At the same time, the option premiums are also transferred from balance sheet accounts to income statement accounts. If an option expires, the system only transfers the option premiums.

In this step you define the transfer flows that are generated for option premiums when you exercise an option or when an option expires.

Activities

  1. Choose Edit -> New entries.
  2. Enter the data relating to the activity transition:
    • Product type/transaction type (e.g. purchase of an OTC currency option)
    • Settlement (cash settlement or physical delivery)
    • New activity category (exercise or expiry)
  3. You then enter the original flow of the option premium and the direction of the flow (e.g. option premium - relevant for balance sheet).
  4. Finally, you define the newly generated flow by entering the flow type of the transfer (e.g. transfer option premium).

Example

When a currency option with physical delivery is purchased, you want the system to generate a new (transfer) flow when the option is exercised.

When the option is purchased, the premium is posted from the balance sheet account to the bank account (e.g. other receivables --> bank).

When the option is exercised, you want the system to post the premium from the income statement account to the balance sheet account, in order to clear the balance sheet account. (e.g. gains from exchange rate fluctuation --> other receivables).
