FTR_CREATE — Create Financial Transaction (Treasury)

Treasury deals need to be captured consistently so they can be confirmed with counterparties, settled, paid and accounted for, and so their risk can be measured. FTR_CREATE is the front office entry point for many product types; follow-up activities like rollovers, settlements and terminations are done on the same transaction later.

Treasury front office staff use it when a deal is concluded with a bank, often on the same day the trade is agreed by phone or on a trading platform. Back office and accounting rely on its data for confirmations, payment and posting. It is also used in testing when Treasury and Risk Management is introduced or extended to new product types.

Choose company code, product type and transaction type, enter the counterparty, amounts, interest or rate conditions and dates, and save. Depending on configuration, the deal then needs settlement and correspondence steps before posting. Changes and follow-up activities are done with FTR_EDIT, and accounting entries are created by the treasury posting functions.

For a new fixed-term deposit, check that the transaction shows the agreed principal, rate and dates, that the confirmation with the bank matches, and that after posting the accounting documents show the principal movement and accrued interest on the configured accounts.

SAP Treasury and Risk Management is available in S/4HANA, with Fiori apps for many treasury processes alongside the classic transactions. Deal data also feeds cash management, so a captured deposit or loan appears in liquidity reporting.

Treasury errors are expensive and visible to banks and auditors, so the controls around deal entry matter most.

Owned by treasury front office for entry and back office for settlement and confirmations, which should be separate people. Accounting owns the postings and their review, and risk management uses the same deals for exposure and hedge reporting.
