FpML 4.5 Validation Rules - Rules for FX Derivatives

This is the FX part of the validation rule set accompanying the FpML 4.5 Working Draft. The introductory section in the validation section of the specifications contains background information and documentation for this page.

The rules contained on this page contain links to cut down versions of valid and invalid test cases. The cut down test cases are non-normative and are provided for the purpose of documentation only.

Definitions

Term: calculated schedule dates
Correctly evaluating rule fx-12 requires generation of a schedule of observation dates based on the observation start date, the observation end date, a calculation period frequency, a date roll convention, and a business day calendar for business center where fixing occurs. The calculation should proceed as follows: The algorithm assumes that implementations can add a time period (e.g. 1D, 1W, 2M, 6M, 1Y, etc.) to dates and understands how perform standard financial date rolls (e.g. following, modified preceding, etc.) against a business day calendar. Implementations must be capable of working with dates that MAY contain time zone offset information.

Conditions

The Validation Conditions only apply when specific rules reference them. The following conditions are always to be executed relative to the root of the FpML document being validated. The context of the rule is NOT carried through to the condition.

Condition: SameCurrencyScheme
Elements containing currency code values (e.g. GBP, USD, etc.) can only be tested for equality or inequality if they are both reference the same currency scheme URI in their currencyScheme attribute.

Functions

The following shared functions are used in the rules.
