Trading Platform Integration Architecture

The trading platform integration is a cloud application that connects external trading platforms with your SAP Treasury and Risk Management component in your SAP S/4HANA Cloud or SAP S/4HANA system acting as your back end.
The figure, Trading Platform Integration Architecture, provides an overview of the integration of the trading platform integration application with the SAP Treasury and Risk Management component in your back-end system and the external trading platform.
The following options are available for connecting the trading platform integration application with external trading platforms:
- Direct connection based on the 360T format
- Connection to other trading platforms using the Generic Format interface
In addition, competitive bids are stored in the application.
Trading Platform Integration Processes

The application provides the following business processes, depending on the trading platform you use for your daily business:
- Trading process (inbound):
Trades closed manually on an external trading platform are automatically transferred to your back-end system using the trading platform integration application.
- Trade request process (outbound):
Trade requests created in your back-end system are transferred to external trading platforms using the trading platform integration application.
- End-to-end process:
Trade requests created in your back-end system are sent to an external trading platform (outbound), the trade is closed on the external trading platform, and then it is transferred automatically to the trading platform integration application before being sent back to your back-end system (inbound).
- Intercompany trading and trade request process:
Intercompany trading is needed if a subsidiary sends its trade requests to its treasury center instead of sending them directly to a trading platform (intercompany trade request). The treasury center then sends a separate trade request to the platform, receives the completed trade and forwards it to its subsidiary (intercompany trade).
The application also offers preconfigured mappings of source fields from the trading platform to target fields in your back-end system and preconfigured mappings of source fields of your trade request coming from your back-end system to target fields on the trading platform.

The trading platform integration is a cloud application that connects external foreign exchange (FX) trading platforms with your SAP Treasury and Risk Management component in your SAP S/4HANA Cloud or SAP S/4HANA on-premise system acting as your back end.
Supported FX Instruments

If you're using 360T as your external trading platform, the above processes and FX instruments are supported in general.
The trading platform integration now supports money market transactions with the newly added instrument Money Market Fixed Term. The following scope is supported:
- Instruments with fixed term and fixed interest rate
- Money market activities Invest and Borrow
- New trades only, no rollovers

If you're using the Generic Format interface to connect the application to external trading platforms other than 360T, the above processes and FX instruments are supported. To use the Generic Format interface, you might need another application to connect the external trading platforms to the trading platform integration application. Mapping between the Generic Format interface and the SAP back-end system is then done in the trading platform integration application.
