exchange rate.
▪ In some countries the taxes are calculated based on the net payments (revenues).
• In Customizing the users can set which original flows trigger calculation of the net flows.
• Posting and payment relevancy for both original and derived update types can be set
accordingly
▪ Only the interest flows with flow type 1205 are aggregated/net into a derived flow with flow type 1250
▪ The nominal changes and repayments are aggregated/net into a derived flow with flow type 1107

Net flow as derived flow
Customizing
▪ In the cloud the original flows aren’t posting relevant (all the flow types ending with 5)
▪ In the OP the original flows can be accounted depending on the business requirement
– For example accounting nominals payables/receivables to internal clearing, netting internal clearing to
bank clearing
Cross currency swaps have two leg currencies, one for outgoing and one for incoming interest
▪ In order to allow netting the flows in different currencies it is necessary to translate and fix the amounts in
one joint currency
▪ Foreign exchange rate fixing as a vehicle for fixing of foreign exchange rates between the leg currency and
settlement currency
– Similar to other types of rate/price fixings, like interest rate adjustment or commodity price adjustment
▪ Note: The leading/following currency prescribes the direction of the foreign exchange rate.
