TRADE - Contract Maintenance


Overview

This procedure is used to fulfil all the tasks necessary for the tracking of a buy or sell from verbal agreement to liquidation in accounting.

TRADE combines Contract maintenance, Derivative assignment, Pricing Formula, FX assignment and subsequent logistics processes e.g. Container tracking, warrant/lotting

You enter the trade agreement into the position, produce various documents e.g. Contract advices, Declaration notifications, update with traffic/operations details such as shipped quantities, ETAs, warehouse details, insurance and allocate/deliver goods.

Limit checking can be S01 configured for each Entity; New business validation (Commitment and M2M/Risk) and Credit (Payment) checking.
Alert emails can be configured to notify exceed Limits.  In New Business entry, the user has a right-click feature to 'Show Limit Checking' before TRADE entry completion.

A comprehensive Document Management sub-system supports all ITAS created documents and can facilitate incoming email, pdfs etc being secured/referenced in DOCMAN via TRADE reference, Counter Party, Commodity/Product code..

Online P&L management is available with a full costings sheet present, links to commission notes and production of Sales invoices. Online P&L can be produced using current market pricing either from a common prices database or contract-by-contract valuation.

Other tasks handled are some ERP tasks e.g. tolling, manufacture, process whereby goods can be marked for processing and the audit will fully support their movement from 100MT of raw material to any number of refined products each with their own costings and weight loss/gain.

Full traceability from field to customer can be achieved, especially using the TRADE/Container procedure. This enables maintenance of the Suppliers References (lot reference) per container. In the TRADE/Logistics processes container references are selected for manufacture or allocation to sales trades.  The container/lot refs can be transferred to the TRADE/Traffic/Warehouse 'Lot Reference' using a Ctrl F search /pick feature. Note this is controlled by the S01 configuration (ctrl30_conttotrade).  If the ITAS entity is not using Container sub system , then the standard TRADE/Traffic/Lot Reference can be manually maintained to keep traceability. SAMPLES (International Trading) also provides a feature for a Lot Reference being transferred to assigned TRADE records.
