Functionality
This method lets you create an OTC interest rate derivative FRA.
The transferred data corresponds to the data in the online transactionunder Structure and general business transaction data.
As in the online transaction, it is not possible to change, create ordelete conditions or main flows. Additional flows can be changed usingthe relevant methods.

Example
Creating an FRAU with an additional flow using BAPIs:
First of all create the FRA by calling OTCInterestFRA.Create. Tocreate the additional flow, call OTCInterestFRA. AddFlowCreate.

Notes
If you set the TESTRUN parameter this calls the BAPI insimulation mode.
To write the data to the database after running a BAPI call in an updaterun (TESTRUN initial), a commit work must be triggered,for example with BapiService.TransactionCommit.
Messages are returned in the RETURN parameter.
A transaction can only be created successfully if the transferred datameets the online transaction consistency conditions. In this case theCOMPANYCODE and FINANCIALTRANSACTION parameters arefilled.
If the data is not consistent or complete it is rejected. In this casethe RETURN parameter contains corresponding messages and theCOMPANYCODE and FINANCIALTRANSACTION parameters areinitial.
Refer to the interface parameter documentation for information about thedata, what is mandatory, optional or depends on the settings inCustomizing, and what default settings exist.
