There are two possibilities working with futures contracts.
a. Create new futures contract based on sales document
b. Link sales document to an already existing futures contract
Create new futures contract based on sales document
1. Create futures contract from delivery agreement. Futures contract status = Planned.
2. Send the futures contract with the necessary info (currency, amount, due date) to the bank. Status automatically changes to Sent.
If the bank portal for futures contracts is used, the futures contract is created in this step. Use WiseFish futures contract number in the comment field in the portal.
3. The bank sends the contract information back, or use information directly from the bank portal.
4. Futures contract in WiseFish is filled in with bank details (CFC No. (channel-id), forward rate etc.). Change status to Approved.
When bank integration is enabled, futures contract information is retrieved from the bank. If there is an assigned futures contract in WiseFish, it is updated with bank information and the status is set to "Approved". All this happens automatically. Futures contracts that cannot be assigned to a Currency futures contract (due to number not found) will have a notification for manual processing to the responsible user.
In such a case, the responsible user must take an assessment and either accept or assign the bank's futures contract to Currency futures contract manually.
5. Create posting document and post as usual; the futures contract is updated automatically with relevant data from the invoice (for tracking).
6. Handle in/out payments of invoice with futures contract.

2. Create posting document and post as usual; the futures contract is updated automatically with relevant data from the invoice (for tracking).
3. Handle in/out payments of invoice with futures contract.
