W_WB2B_GT_CFM_001 - Define Hedge Types

In this Customizing activity, you create a hedging types. The hedging type controls the way in which trading contract items are hedged. You can determine whether hedging is performed at item level or document level. The parameters Transaction Type and Product Type that are needed to create forward exchange transactions are specified for different hedging situations. Using the indicator Hedge All Currencies, you can determine whether all or only selected currencies should be hedged. If you are hedging all currencies, default threshold values are active for all currencies with no entry under Maintain Hedging for Each Currency in Customizing. If you do not set the indicator Hedge All Currencies, the default threshold values have not effect.

In general, you use transaction types that are intended for fixing at a later date because the system cannot recognize an exchange rate. In delivered Customizing, for example, this is the transaction type 106 for product type 60A. We recommend you use mirror transactions created during fixing.

If you want to hedge the currencies in the trading contract using a different transaction type, you must implement the method CHANGE_PARA_FOR_CREATE in the BAdI WB2C_FX so that an exchange rate is specified when you create the forward exchange transaction. Note that there is a standard implementation of the BAdI WB2C_FX that determines a value date from the payment conditions in the customer or supplier master. You can use the method CALC_DATE_FOR_TC to implement a project-specific determination.

• Create a hedging type with a key (4 characters) and a descriptive text.

• Specify Transaction Types and Product Types and maintain Default Threshold Values.
