'Create Offer' is used to offer a syndication to a Syndication Party to share the risk. The offering party is called the Grantor. 

This transaction (SDTPOP) can send an offer only to one Syndication Party. There can be one or many Syndication Parties under a Syndication Master Contract, hence only one offer message per party is allowed.

The offer message is defaulted according to the selected Syndicated Party. The offer message can be defined per party in the Advanced Text module System transaction(DBIATX), which is used to maintain advanced texts such as syndication agreements

Details like Type of Syndication (funded/unfunded), Syndication Percentage, Syndication Agreement, Latest Possible Due Date, Latest Date of Acceptance, etc. can be entered in the transaction.

Details like Framework Agreement Date, Credit Risk Mitigation Instrument and the like are auto-populated from the Syndication Agreement Text, if available. If a defined template for the Syndication Agreement Text is used from ATX, then the Credit risk mitigation instrument is disabled for editing.

This Create Offer transaction is an optional transaction, hence may or may not be created.

This transaction can be used to amend the details any number of times before the deal is opened through Creating a Syndication Deal, the Create Offer transaction can be used for a deal to amend the offer details.

Syndication Agreement Text

If required, the user can modify the offer message manually by checking the checkbox “Modify Text”.

Contract data fields embedded in the text are updated instantly. In case the text is manually edited by the user, a warning is generated, indicating that the text has been edited manually.
