6. Internal Deals Configuration

The Internal Deals Configuration screen defines the rules for automatic creation of internal (mirror) deals within the system.

Mirror deals allow the system to automatically generate a corresponding internal transaction when a deal is created, ensuring that related portfolios remain aligned without requiring manual duplication. This mechanism supports consistent position tracking, risk calculation, and reporting across different organizational structures.

Configuration Logic

Each configuration rule defines how deals created in a specific portfolio are replicated to another portfolio within the system.

A rule consists of:

• Source Portfolio Structure
  The originating portfolio (Company, Business Unit, Folder, Book, Portfolio) where the initial deal is created.

• Target Portfolio Structure
  The destination portfolio where the mirror deal will be automatically generated.

• Counterparty Mode
  Defines how the counterparty of the mirror deal is assigned.
  Available options include:

  • Same as Origin

  • From Source Company

  • From Target Company

• Reverse Direction
  If enabled, the mirror deal is created with the opposite direction (e.g., Buy → Sell), ensuring internal balance between portfolios.

• Deal Query
  Optional filtering logic that restricts the rule to specific deals based on defined criteria.

• Inherit Deal Collection
  Determines whether the mirror deal inherits the deal collection of the original deal.

• Inherit Settlement
  Defines whether settlement-related properties are inherited from the original deal.

• Delete with parent
  If enabled, the mirror deal is automatically deleted when the original deal is deleted.

• Enabled
  Controls whether the rule is active and applied during deal creation.

Behaviour

When a deal is created:

1. The system evaluates all enabled configuration rules.

2. If the deal matches the defined source structure and any optional filters,

3. A mirror deal is automatically generated in the target portfolio.

The generated mirror deal:

• replicates key attributes of the original deal (e.g., price, volume, delivery period),

• assigns the counterparty based on the selected Counterparty Mode,

• may reverse direction depending on configuration,

• and remains logically linked to the original deal for full traceability.

Additionally, in the Portfolio Management → Deal Capturing module, internal deals are identified through a dedicated “Internal” flag, allowing users to easily identify system-generated mirror deals.
