Ledger - Priced Request

The ledger is intended to be used by a back office function in the subsidiaries. It will display, in real time, transactions that have been priced by head office.

In the ledger there is functionality for subsidiaries to accept and approve the terms and conditions. As soon as the transaction is priced it will disappear from the Ledger requests and appear in real time in the ledger called Priced requests, intended for use by subsidiaries.

Confirmation of preliminary transactions

When amortisation loans, cross currency IR swaps and multi currency loans are entered in deal input, the transactions get preliminary reference numbers. When the transactions are confirmed in confirm start they get a final reference number within the reference number interval specified for the legal entity.

20004172 is the preliminary reference number and 2059 is the final reference number. The original preliminary number can be seen in the menu item transaction status overview.
