Summary

You should be comfortable with bulking spot trades before grouping trades from templates. Understand that the trades must have the same dates and currency pairs to be bulked.

If one or more of the templates are set up to require authorization, see the procedure To Complete Template Trades Requiring Authorization.

Integrating the Bulk Trade from Templates

As with the regular bulk deal, you now group and price the template-driven trades from Views. Begin this phase at the FX Web Main Menu.

1. Click Views/Actions, and then select Web Price Bulk Deals in View Manager.
2. Click Execute to display the deals that you entered. They have a status of "To Price."

   You can select non-adjacent deals by holding the Ctrl key down while clicking the rows.
4. Click Do Pricing to display the Integrate Bulk Deal page.
5. Click Get Rate, and then click Integrate. A confirmation message appears.
6. Click OK to commit or Cancel to cancel the bulk deal. If you click OK, you are returned to the Web Price Bulk Deal view, and your group of trades are grayed out.
7. Click Refresh to remove the trades form the Web Price Bulk Deal view.

Acknowledging the Individual Trades

You must acknowledge each component trade of the bulk deal to complete the process.

1. Access View Manager if you are not still there.
2. Select Deals Not Yet Acknowledged and click Execute.
3. Locate and select one of the trades in the group you just bulked.
4. Click Acknowledge to open a confirmation page, and then click Acknowledge on the confirmation page.

To Complete Template Trades Requiring Authorization

You may be designated as a second party to complete a deal requiring authorization. While this is technically a "Views-based" task, instructions are included here because the task is specific to templates.

For transactions involving an activated To Authorize attribute, the trades cannot be finalized at U.S. Bank operations until the settlement instructions for payment and receipt are completed.
You must know the details of the deal to locate it or them in the View Manager.

1. Click Views/Actions on the Main Menu to open the View Manager.
   
2. Select Outstanding Deals (or Deals Done Today, if applicable) and then click Execute.
3. Locate and click on the row containing the transaction you need to complete, and then click Receipt.
   The Delivery Details for Trade page appears with the Complete, Update, and Delete buttons already displayed.
4. Finalize the instructions by clicking Complete, and then click Payment to open the payment settlement instructions and "complete" them as well.
   · Optionally, edit the information and click Update, then OK.
   · Optionally, delete the entire inserted instruction set by clicking Delete, and then OK. Reenter the information and repeat this step.
5. Click Back to return to Outstanding Deals.
