Responsibility area: Ensure the daily activities in Quantum
1. Objective
1.1. Objective of this Operation
Run MtM for maturing deals:
In order to trigger the reversal of the previously posted MtM entries at maturity, a reversal needs to be generated and posted by running the MtM at maturity date
Run CCY translations for maturing deals:
In order to calculate the realized result of the FX deals (except for NDFs) at maturity, the Currency translation process has to be run. This process will calculate / post the result in base/functional currency using a standard Quantum process.
Run MtM Realized Split for maturing FX deals:
Similarly to the spot/fwd points split for unrealized MtM, a split is required for the Realized result at maturity
