Home

In this area snapshots of the individual periods can be triggered and selected.

Each performed calculation is saved as a snapshot at the time of its execution with the currently available information. On one hand, this allows calculations already to be performed when not all the data has been entered, in order to obtain an intermediate status. Also, if at a later point in time it is necessary to reconstruct how results were generated, e.g. for a quarterly reporting result, this can be done reviewing the snapshot generated at this point in time. On the other hand, it is possible to simulate the exercise of certain elections and to save the results. Some of the elections can be varied independently of the data input and thus lead to different calculation results. For more information on elections, see the corresponding section in the Group Data Collection or Entity Data Collection (Entity Election and general information) or the explanations of the effects in the respective Calculation.

General Structure of the Home Side

With the two drop-down menus on top of the page you can select the period for which you want to trigger or review a snapshot. Next to it you can choose a Snapshot already created if you want to review the data.

A list shows all snapshots that were already created and the basic information on these snapshots, like the prior period snapshot chosen for the respective snapshot, the currency of the Snapshot and comments as well as a timestamp. It is possible to delete snapshots with the garbage can on the left side of each snapshot. This function is linked to a special authorization. For more information on authorization objects and role concepts, please see the repective section on master data in the Master Data Settings. It is possible to export the list in an Excel or pdf format.

Creation of Snapshots

A snapshot is created by using the button “Perform calculation”. Make sure, that you decided on the right period, in the Drop-Down Menu above, before you trigger a new snapshot. The button “Perform calculation” opens a new surface with basic information on the snapshot that is created.

Name	It is mandatory to give a name to the snapshot created. This name will be shown in the overview of snapshots in the home area, as well as the drop-down menu to select the snapshot you want to see.
Previous period Snapshot	It is not mandatory to choose a previous period snapshot, since the application of the Pillar 2 Rules is new and therefore, there is no previous period with Pillar 2 information available. Anyway, in future periods it will be important to choose the relevant snapshot of the previous period, so that intertemporary information is recorded correctly. This is crucial for the informational values I-1, I-2 and I-3 in the Jurisdictional Blending and also for the correct calculation regarding the De Minimis Exclusion.
Currency	The calculation can be made in any exchange rate of the CEs, it doesn’t necessarily need to be the one of the UPE. Anyway, once elected, it is not possible to change the currency, because of intertemporary effects. E.g. the informational values I-1, I-2 and I-3 of the Jurisdictional Blending, as well as the De Minimis Exclusion take the values of the former period and also the exchange rate of the former period.
Comment	Gives the possibility to comment on a snapshot, e.g. to give information about the state of the milestones in the point of the creation to point out the occasion for the snapshot to point out how elections are exercised in this snapshot

After giving the mandatory information, you can create the snapshot by using the button “Save”. The calculation may take some time, depending on the number of CEs, Jurisdictions and Reporting Dimensions.
