Profit and Loss information concerning an individual Purchase contract may be viewed when you are granted the “View PnL totals on contract” permission in the MTM section on the Edit roles screen. To view the Results contract details screen, you must have the “View PnL details per contract” permission.
Important: Changing or adding Market data does not automatically update the Results per contract screen. After changing Market data, please select the The Recalculate PL values button on the Market Data screen. This will update Results per contract information using the new Market data values.
P&L and P&L/Qty Columns
On the list of purchase contracts each contract shows the combined P&L (realized + unrealized) in company currency. Both total contract and individual quantity amount values are displayed.
Users can search contracts by P&L values, e.g. to find contracts that have a negative P&L or less than 40 EUR/MT. This is done by using the PnL or PnlQty search phrases in the contract search box.
Contract P&L Details Screen
Users can examine the P&L of a contract further by selecting the P&L value to open an Mark to Market style configurable screen that breaks the value down in all its portions, its futures, and its Forexes, and also separates realized and unrealized P&L. The screen features the usual rich set of columns that can be switched on and off, and some extra columns that help understand the calculations and currency conversions.
To access this screen for a contract, select the P&L value in the P&L column on the Purchase contract screen.
