In order to minimise the risk of errors, a 4eye confirmation can be enabled for manually added base rate fixings. Therefore, a new base rate fixing is initially placed in a Waiting for approval status. To activate the base rate fixing, it must be approved.

There are two ways to approve the rate fixings via the BackOffice main page and Administration menu:

Via the BackOffice main page:

1. Click the Tuum logo in the upper left corner.

2. On the main page, scroll to the Common settings section > Pending 4eye processes.

1. Click on the Process ID to view the 4eye review process details.

2. Click on the Source ID to go to the decision-making page.

1. Choose the Accept or Decline options.

Via the Administration menu:

1. Administration > Reference data > Rate fixings.

2. Search for the rate fixing with status Waiting for approval.

3. Click the Identifier to view the rate details.

1. Choose the Accept or Decline options.

Add base interest rate type

As a first step, you must add the necessary interest rate types to the Tuum system via the APIs.

The rest of the features supporting the base interest rate are available through the BackOffice interface. Below you can find more information.

To view the list of existing rate fixings:

• Administration > Reference data > Rate fixings.

You can also upload the rates in the JSON file format. To make an upload:

1. Administration > Reference data > Rate fixings.

2. On the Rate fixings page, click the Upload button.

3. Choose the JSON file to upload > Submit.

Once the rates are fetched from the file, you will see the New rate fixings page.

To continue the rate upload process, follow one of the scenarios below.

• To proceed: verify the data > select the checkbox in front of the rate you want to upload > Submit.

• To edit rates: modify the rate data > Save > select the checkbox in front of the rate you want to upload > Submit.

• To fix error: correct the rate data > Save > select the checkbox in front of the rate you want to upload > Submit.

JSON file example

The JSON file must have the format as the following example:

{
 "pendingBaseRateFixings": [
   {
     "rateBaseCode": "EURIBOR 6 months”,
     "fixingDate": "2024-01-26”,
     "baseRate": 3.873
   },
   {
     "rateBaseCode": "EURIBOR 6 months",
     "fixingDate": "2024-01-25",
     "baseRate": 3.911
   }
 ]
}

Once you add the interest rate types, you can add the rate base fixings. This feature allows you to add the fixing date and a new base rate value for the base rates.

To add the base rate fixing:

1. Go to Administration > Reference data > Rate fixings.

2. On the Rate fixings page, click the Add new rate button.

3. Fill in the Add new rate fixing details > Submit.

4. A confirmation window pops up; click the Confirm button.
