Define leading currencies, following currencies, and spot days for various currency pairs. This is relevant for determining the rate notation when you enter FX transactions and FX options.

In this step, you define the leading currencies for the various currency pairs. The system uses these settings to determine the rate notation when you enter FX spot/forward transactions and FX options.

In addition, you can enter the number of days between conclusion of the FX transaction and the value date in the Spot Days field. Usually, this is two working days. Depending on the currency, there may be deviations from this rule. You should only make an entry in this field if practices on the international foreign exchange market follow a different rule to the usual two-day rule.

If you enter an FX transaction amounting to 40,000 USD and enter 1.10 in the exchange rate field, the system can use the leading currency to calculate the amount in EUR.

Leading currency EUR -> 40,000 USD / 1.10 EUR/USD = 36,363.64 EUR

Leading currency USD -> 40,000 USD * 1.10 USD/EUR = 44,000.00 EUR

Rate notation in Treasury:

Notation: Leading currency/Following currency

Interpretation: The rate expresses the amount in the following currency for one unit of the leading currency.
