Use the Deal Time Restrictions window to define term limits for your deal types, either alone or in combination with deal subtypes, product types, or counterparties. Term limits determine the maximum time until maturity for a given deal. Term limits apply to all companies defined in Treasury.

Once you set a term limit, you cannot enter deals that have terms that extend beyond the limit.

Prerequisites
