Use the Limit Types window to define limit types. You use limit types to group your limits into broad categories of deals and other Treasury activities. You can use the Limit Utilization Report to review your use of specific limit types.

Every global limit and counterparty group limit must have a limit type assigned to it. When you define a limit type, you assign it one of these categories:

• Foreign Exchange (FX)

• Invest (IN)

• Fund (F)

• Overdraft (OD)

For example, you can define two limit types in the Fund (F) category for facilities (lines of credit), one for committed funding and another for uncommitted funding. When you define your global and counterparty group limits, you can assign the committed funding and uncommitted funding limit type to these limits. You can also define separate global limits for committed funding and uncommitted funding.

You also use the Limit Types window to choose which limit controls you want Treasury to monitor.
