Definition

General valuation classes are used to classify transactions by asset type, and apply accross all valuation areas. By contrast, special valuation classes are defined at valuation area level. The general valuation classes are assigned to the special valuation classes for the valuation areas. For each transaction, the system can therefore determine the special valuation classes for the different valuation areas on the basis of the general valuation class.

You assign the general valuation class to a position when you enter the financial transaction.

Use

The following two general valuation classes (GVC) are relevant for securities lending transactions.

  1. GVC for the lent securities position.
    Note: You make entries in the current menu.
  2. GVC for the securities lending transaction.
    Note: You make entries in the administrative data menu.

The GVCs can have different values. For securities lending transactions, the system automatically generates a securities account transfer at the start of term. In doing this, the lent securities position from the asset securities account is posted to the lending securities account. If you have specified a GVC for the lent securities position, then the posting is only made from the specified partial position. If you have not specified a GVC and if the asset securities account contains at least two partial positions with different GVCs, then the posting is made pro rata from the existing partial positions.

Example

Before the securities lending transaction, the asset securities account contains D1 400 units that are divided into the following partial positions:

D1, GVC1:     100 units
D1, GVC2:     300 units

Forty units are lent and posted automatically from the system to the lending securities account D2. After the transfer posting, there are 360 units in securities account D1 and 40 units in securities account D2.

Case 1: The value GVC1 is entered as the GVC for the lent securities. The posting is only made from the partial position with GVC1. This results in the following partial positions:

D1, GVC1:    60 units
D1, GVC2:    300 units
D2, GVC1:    40 units

Case 2: No GVC is specified for the lent securities. The transfer posting is made pro rata from the existing partial positions. This results in the following partial positions:

D1, GVC1:     90 units
D1, GVC2:     270 units
D2, GVC1:     10 units
D2, GVC2:     30 units

Case 3: The value GVC3 is specified as the GVC for the lent securities. Since the partial position does not contain a sufficient number of securities, the system terminates processing and issues an error message.
