Swap

1. From the Modules Tasks pane, select Spot/Forward Swap or Forward/Forward Swap in the Management folder of the FX module.

The modification page of the default filter for this function, is displayed.

The following screenshots show the pages displayed for Spot/Forward Transactions.

This page enables you to define filtering criteria restricting or enlarging the selection of transactions to display in the transactions page. If no filter is defined here, all the existing transactions are displayed on the page. If the number of transactions is too large, restricting the selection by adding criteria, improves the legibility.

2. Set up the filter, then click OK.

This table presents the list of the swap transactions with, to name a few, the type, the number and amount of the transaction, the countervalue, the transaction and delivery dates, the company, the counterparty and the forward exchange rate.
