FX Transaction Position Report
After having marked one of these possibilities, click on “Get Report” and the desired report resp. submenu will appear.
The report is designed to
summarize all open fx-transactions
by currency and instrument and
group it by
internal or external transaction.
This allows the Treasurer to have a
comprehensive position vs. internal
parties and vs. external parties and
as a result, the net position per
currency. On top, the total open
position is summarized at the
bottom of the report and shows the
total amount of open fx-
transactions. That means, with this
report the Treasurer is able to
manage a complete fx portofolio
and can change the position throughout the whole currency spectrum while having always the total net position under control.

possible formats wich Microsoft supports. First a message appears with instructions:

Microsoft Excel, the result looks
like this. Now you are able to
analyze all fx-transactions by
whatever you like to analyze it for.

External Financial Status
The financial status is one of the most
important informations to manage a safe and
efficient optimal cash management. This
report summarizes per currency all bank-
accounts, deposits, borrowings = total cash,
adds the facility and calculates then the net-
availability. The user has the choice between
entries for booking date (Fin Status FX Book)
and entries for value date (Fin. Status FX
Val.) .
As soon any loan, deposit, facility, bank-
account entry is made, the software is
calculating immediately the new status. This
ensures a maximum fast information. Source
for this comprehensive report is:
Currency: Standing Data -> Currencies
Bank-Accounts: Transactions -> Account Balances
Deposits and Borrowings: Transactions -> Loans and Investements
Facility: Transactions -> Credit Facilities
Restrictions: Standing Data -> Countries and Regions
Exchange Rate to convert the totals: see above.
However, the multinational treasuer knows that there is a very important difference between available funds and restricted funds, i.e. trapped cash.
Hence, the financial status report has three blocks:
1) Non-Restricted Funds
2) Restricted Funds
3) Total
External Financial Status by Company (Cash Report)
To manage a funds-portfolio, the Treasuer needs two informations for a safe and efficient cash
management. The first is the porfolio by currency, see above, and in the second step. the information
where the funds are. This report is intended to monitor the funds-owners by availability and with a
comparison to a second date, free definable (e.g. actual vs. last day, week, month or year).
The user has the choice for these four reports:
1) Basically the distinction between booking dates and value dates, then
a) All companies whose funds are non-restricted and available for group-treasury. At the bottom of
the report a summary of restricted funds is also included, as well as the overall net cash / debt
position number that gives this report the character of an overall cash flash.
b) All companies whose funds are restricted, i.e. trapped cash.
The information of which funds are available and which funds are not available is made in menu
Standing Data -> Countries and Regions by setting a tick in restriction type “IC-Clearing
Crossborder”.
The report has three blocks, one for the reporting date, one for the comparison date and one for the difference between those two. Depending on the
flag “Internal “in menu Standing Data -> Companies all such companies are part of this report.
There are three total-lines:
1. Total of all Non-Restricted funds
2. Total of all Restricted funds
3. Total of all funds = Net Cash / Debt Position
