Effect of the Key Date Selection Parameter

Evaluations based on the logical database FTI_TR_DEALS are for a given date.

The same applies to the following three released function modules:

  • FTI_LDB_GET_OTC_DEAL1_DATA
  • FTI_LDB_GET_OTC_DEAL2_DATA
  • FTI_LDB_GET_SECURITY_DEAL1

In each case, the key date always refers to the position value date of the financial transaction. The system always attempts to determine the effective transaction status for the key date (in particular, if the key date is in the past) and to reconstruct the transaction.

The key date-based selection takes into account the transaction activity valid on the key date and considers the start of term (the contract conclusion date) and end of term of a financial transaction. The valid flows and conditions for the relevant activity are selected. This type of selection is particularly relevant for OTC transactions creating the position. Listed transactions or transactions for securities, futures and listed options do not have a term end. Transactions selected according to key date cannot provide a "position" for the valid transactions. However, no listed transactions are selected before the closing date. For these types of transactions, it is useful to make further restrictions using the closing date. The different characteristics of position-creating OTC transactions (with an end of term) compared to listed transactions (with no end of term) should be clearly explained in combined reporting.

The key date also determines certain time-based attributes such as the current valid reference interest rate or the next fixing day. The net present value and sensitive key figures are also calculated on the key date.

Detailed Logic

The key date is used to find the active activity. To find this activity, the activity chain is traced backwards from the activity that is active on the system date. If multiple activities are active for the key date, the most recent is selected.
