Click to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Deal Processing

After entering all deal specifics and confirming that the deal status is correct, save the deal. If you haven't entered information in a required field, an error message appears. Enter the required information, then save the deal. Depending on your configuration, selecting the Auto Position feature automatically creates a position update request. The request creates the required records for position management, accounting, and settlements.

In conjunction with position analysis, Deal Management checks the deals to ensure that they are not outside the limits that you've defined. If the deal violates these defined limits, you can also configure workflow to automatically notify a specified user or group.

Selecting the Submit for Preview check box on the Deal Detail page initiates workflow processing.

This section discusses running the Deal Position Update process (TR_POSN). Once you process deals (either manually or automatically), you can also use the Cash Flows page to view the resultant cash flows.

For IRP and IR swap deals, you can review interest payment dates, amounts, and reset dates on the Interest and Payment Dates page. If the deal is amortized, this page shows the amortization schedule.

If you select Process All Outstanding Deals, you schedule the Position Update Request process to run on a daily basis and check the Process Monitor page to ensure that it runs successfully.

Process Specific Deal

Specify a deal for processing. If you select this option, you specify the business unit and the deal ID.

Access the Estimated Interest Accruals page (Deal Management, Capture Deals, Estimated Interest Accruals, Estimated Interest Accruals).

Important! This page reflects a deal's estimated interest spread over a specified time period; however, it is not an accurate representation of the actual discount and premium accounting. You determine the actual interest accrual calculations for a deal by the accounting templates that you define at the deal instrument level. The interest accrual functionality uses certain assumptions to calculate the displayed values. It does not use the accounting templates defined for the deal.

From Date and To Date

Define the date range in which to review interest accruals.

Standard Calendar

If you select this option, specify Daily, Monthly, Quarterly, or Weekly.

PS Detail Calendar (PeopleSoft detail calendar)

Select this option to specify a customized calendar for calculating interest accruals.
