Documentation

Definition

This indicator controls how gains and losses are handled. The following options are available:

Do not realize gains/losses

Write-ups/write-downs are also managed as a separate position component (valuation not affecting profit and loss).

For these write-ups/write-downs, separate derived business transactions (translations) are generated in the case of outflows or transfers. You can use these derived business transactions to clear equity capital items that were generated as a result of valuations, for example.
In Customizing, you must define corresponding update types for the derived business transactions.

Hedge Accounting

Write-ups, write-downs and rate/price gains are created, taking into account any existing hedging relationships. If you select this option, the following products could be affected:

  • Forward exchange transactions (product category 600)
  • Swaps (product category 620)
  • OTC options (product category 760)
  • Interest rate instruments (product category 550)

Forward exchange transactions, swaps and OTC options

If this indicator is set, distribution flows are generated in addition to the valuation flows or the flows for rate/price gains. In doing this, the system checks to see if the valued transaction is part of a hedging relationship. To calculate distribution flows, the system uses the rules defined in hedge management for the corresponding hedging relationships. The total of all distribution flows corresponds exactly to the total of all valuation flows or rate/price gain flows.

Interest rate instruments

If this indicator is set, you can suppress the security valuation step, providing the interest rate instrument is part of a hedging relationship. The indicator does not affect the calculation of rate/price gains.

Realize gains/losses (indicator retains its initial value)

None of the options described above are used. This corresponds to direct realization of the valuation results.
