Create Reference
Application component: Transaction Manager
App type: SAP GUI
Description:  A reference between Treasury transactions documents a relationship between “n” transactions. The reference category determines the type of reference. References are supported in the money market, foreign exchange, derivatives, securities, and loans areas. In the securities and loans areas there is a General Reference category, which you can use to represent relationships between transactions in these areas. In other words, you can use this reference category to link any transactions you choose in these areas 
Key features:  Some references are created automatically when a certain activity is carried out. Others have to be created by the user. Reference categories, which are created automatically when you enter a transaction, can also be created manually.

You can also create references for reference categories that are normally generated automatically. This is the only function you can use, however, to create and process references manually.

You can, however, also use the collective processing function for references to edit existing references from this category).
