12.01.2012 - Commodities in SAP TRM

Since very shortly the EhP 6 is available with functional enhancements for Commodities in the ramp up.

In earlier enhancement packages already the Position and the Exposure Management have been supported for a number of specific product types in SAP TRM Transaction Manager. EhP 6 indicates now further substantial steps in this direction.

A point worth mentioning is especially the direct link between the modules Sales and Distribution and Materials Management to the Treasury. Risk from purchasing orders and sales can now be directly "transformed" into the corresponding marketable financial instruments (including foreign exchange risk). The related risks can be transferred to the Exposure Management, where they can be hedged. A far-reaching integration is a preliminary condition to pass the relevant risk to the Market Risk Analyzer, where they can be analyzed with the help of standard reports.
