Report Manager - Introduction

The CRM Report manager contains functions for creating reports with a large number of different characteristics. There are six main report types:

Transaction List (transaction lists, accrued interest and FX gain/loss calculations).
Cash flow (cash flow, CF forecast, net present value calculations, yield curve simulations).
Balance/Position (balance sheet, unrealised interest and gain/loss, FX position and risk analysis).
Profit/Loss (Realised and unrealised interest, FX gain/loss and Interest rate gain/loss).
Market valuation (unrealised interest, interest rate gain/loss and FX gain/loss).
Interest Rate Gap. Interest period and credit period gaps

The report generating function consists of six sections (tabs) with which you design the report. The six tabs are: Selection tab, Design tab, Settings tab, Advanced tab, Simulation tab and Limit tab.

The Selection tab is used for selecting the transactions to be processed in the report. The selections are made with three criteria, i.e. Dates, Portfolio codes and Reference numbers. In the selection tab you also select the FX and interest rate registers to be used for the calculations in the report.

The Design tab is used for determining the desired columns for the report and to decide the sorting orders.

The Settings tab contains a number of switches and alternative ways that the system can treat the transactions when computed.

The Advanced tab contains options for yield curve simulations and transaction grouping into time buckets.

The Simulation tab contains options for budget simulation functionality in loan administration.

The Limit tab is used to set up amount limits.

When Selections, Design and Settings are completed for the report you want to generate it is all saved under a Selection name. The report can then be reproduced again by searching in the selection name box and running the report again. It is recommended that when you run the report again you only make minor alterations such as dates and FX / Interest table selections. If you frequently want to alter Portfolio selections, Column selections and settings, it is recommended to copy an existing selection name and save a new report under a different name.

To create a new report click on the create selection icon in the toolbar. Enter a name for the report and choose report type

Selection tab

Report type: Transaction list

Date as at, Measuring period, Deal date, Value date, Maturity date - are all report type determines date selection options.
Selection by status: If left blank transactions with status REG, CONFIRMED and COMPLETED will be selected. SIGNED = keep track of returned signed confirmations. DELAYED, PENDING and EXPORTED are all status regarding payment status.
Transaction list is for example used for seeing one single instrument with all its transactions or all FX deals done during a certain period (selection on Deal date from and to).

Report type: Cash Flow

Amounts "Due" only available in Report type cash flow. Date due automatically selects all cash flows falling due within the Date Due interval.
The 'Date as at' serves as selection criteria for active transactions available at the chosen date.

Report type: Balance/position

The 'Date as at' serves as selection criteria for active transactions available at the chosen date.
No realized amounts are shown in a report of type B/S, only unrealized amounts.

Report type: Profit/loss

Date as at and measuring period serves as selection criteria. Use this report when you want to analyze realized or both realized and unrealized transactions in the same report for a certain period. For analysis of unrealized transactions only use Report type Market valuation or report type Balance/Position

Report type: Market Valuation

The Date as at, serves as selection criteria for active transactions available at the chosen date. This report can be used for unrealized market values.

Report type: Interest Rate Gap

The Date as at, serves as selection criteria for active transactions available at the chosen date.
Report Columns started with Gap shall be used in the Design tab. Important to set up a period structure in Advanced tab. Choose as first sorting order, for example Int bound period.

Design tab

How to select columns

Sorting order is provided in five levels. Check Sum and Page break boxes at preferred sorting order levels. Sorting order headings are placed as left hand columns in all reports when check box ‘Print’ is checked.

If a folder path is selected in “Alt. Output folder”, the report will be saved in the selected folder when you click the button “run”.

An Alternative filename can also be set by typing the name in “Alt. Filename”. The report will be saved with the typed name when pressed button “run”.

Select reports columns. Choose and mark a row in Column Selection Available and click on the button or click on LOV (List of values) and choose report column from the list.

The system requires that the interest code for each curve contains at least three positions representing a currency code i.e. USD, EUR etc. If you have labeled your yield curves DEPSEK, DEPEUR etc then your prefix equals DEP (type in Currency prefix field DEP).
Floating interest rate:
1=Print all registered floating int. transactions in int. rate swaps/amort.loans. 2=Like 1 but with forward interest from yield curve. (Setting ‘1’ or ‘2 =Variable amortisation loans - Capital amount discounted from final maturity date. Setting ‘blank’ = Variable amortisation loans, Capital amount discounted from next fixing date.)
Instrument categories:
Is a selection of the main instrument categories, i.e. Interest bearing, FX, Commodity, Energy, Forecast, Funds/Equity
Trans types:
Spot = On balance, Forward = Off balance, Total = Spot and forward, Prematurely closed
Express duration in:
Select how duration (DTM, DTFM), int. bound to, accrued days should be displayed in reports.
Years= Everything displayed in Years, E:G: 0,236 - 1,2 - 5,6
Days= Everything displayed in days, E:G: 185 - 720 - 3600
Days/Year = Up to one year in days. More than one year in Years, E:G: 85 - 327 -1,5 - 6,5

FX Transactions:
Accrued interest: The program will allocate swap points in FX forward contracts to the measuring period in relation to accrued days in the period as proportion of total days in the contract.Normally used for hedging contracts held to maturiy.
Interest gain / loss: The program will find the market valued swap points to maturity in actual currency rate table, calculated from date as at, and compare with contracted swap points. The difference represents the market valued interest gain/loss in the contract. Normally used for trading contracts that need market valuation.
Acc int and Int G/L: The program will both allocate swap points as accrued interest and do a market valuation of swap points. Report columns accrued interest unrealised and Int G/L unrealised needs to be included in the report.
Note: You must choose one or the other method.
