Documentation

Indicates the term of the rating procedure .

Providers of rating procedures, such as Moodys, give different ratings for a business partner, which are valid for a certain period of time. The term gives you the option of indicating the validity period of the rating procedure used to assess a business partner.

Use

With the Bank Analyzer, the term is only used to evaluate the country risk.

Dependencies

Example

In the short term, Moodys gives the business partner country the rating BBB. The Moodys long-term rating is AAA, however.

In order to map the different validity periods for the rating, two rating procedures are set up in the System: One with a short-term indicator and one with a long-term indicator.
