Defining Settlement Limits

Use the Settlement Limits tab region of the Limits window to specify the maximum daily cash settlement limits for your company and specific counterparties. Treasury calculates the limit utilization for daily settlement limits by adding potential payments to potential receivables. For example, if on a specific day you are scheduled to pay a counterparty $500,000 and that counterparty is scheduled to pay you $100,000, your daily settlement limit with this counterparty must be at least $600,000 to complete these transactions.

Attention: The limit utilization for daily settlement limits is not calculated using limit weightings, but rather the actual cash settlement amounts.
