Note. This component is designed to provide support for managing interest-bearing securities that trade in the marketplace. Suitable securities for this component include Treasury securities (T-Bills, T-Notes, Treasury bonds), corporate bonds, municipal bonds ("munis"), agency securities (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac), and commercial papers. For managing debt instruments that your firm will issue, however, such as commercial paper and line-of-credit facilities, see the "Managing Facilities in Deal Management" chapter.

For managing stocks, see the "Managing Equity Deals" chapter.

Security Market Value

TRX_SEC_MKTVAL

Deal Management, Administer Deals, Securities, Security Market Value

View the currency information and market value of a security as of a specified date. The market values can be entered here manually or viewed after being imported using the Securities Market Values Import page. You can record more than one market price.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicEntering Security Header Information Manually

Access the Security Header page (Deal Management, Administer Deals, Securities).

Security Type

Select the agency that issues the identifier for the security. Options include CINS, CUSIP, EPIC, ISID, ISIN, QUICK, RIC, SEDOL, SICOVAM, and Valoren.

Security ID

Displays the identifier that you assigned.

Issue Number

Enter the identifier that is assigned to this security according to the identification system that is selected in the Security Type field.

Note. The CUSIP/CINS identifier entered here is validated using check-digit validation logic if a check digit exists for the security. If the security does not have a check digit appended to it, one is derived by the system and appended to the existing CUSIP/CINS identifier.

Coupon at Issue

Enter the applicable interest rate in decimal format.

Created By and Last Changed By

User ID and date/time stamp information that enable you to track changes to the security.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicEntering Security Market Value Information

Access the Security Market Value page (Deal Management, Administer Deals, Securities, Security Market Value).

Specify your search criteria and click the Search button; leaving this field blank returns all possible results.

Seq (sequence)

Enter a number for each added row of market source information to determine processing order of the valuation.

Market Price

Enter the price of the security relative to the par value.

Purchased Interest

Displays the interest calculated from the interest-period, start date to the settlement date. This value is important for securities purchased in a secondary market.

For example, bonds usually pay interest every six months, but, interest is accrued by the bondholders on a day-to-day basis. When a bond is sold, the buyer pays the seller the market price plus the accrued interest, for which the buyer will be reimbursed when the issuer next pays interest.

This section provides an overview of the securities data import process and discusses how to:

PeopleSoft provides a way to import general information about a security into the system based on its CUSIP or CINS identifier. A variation of this process can be used to import current market values of the securities. Once a security definition is downloaded into the system, investment deals can be created using the security. When the latest market value for the security is downloaded into the system, the value of the security deal is updated and the gain or loss for the deal is booked in Treasury accounting.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding the Securities Data Import Infrastructure

This diagram illustrates the securities data import process.

Securities data import process

The securities data import process involves the following steps:

  1. An administrator enters information pertaining to a securities data file in comma-separated value (.csv), flat-file format.

    This initiates the File Import Application Engine process (IMPORT_FILES), which functions as an interface or shell to define the necessary commands for the system to import the securities data files.

  2. The File Import Application Engine reads the file's layout definition data (which is stored in the Layout Catalog ) and calls the corresponding transformation process.

    The layout for importing securities definition data is SECURITY and the corresponding transformation process called is TRX_SECD_XFM. For importing security market value, the SEC_MARKET layout is used with the TRX_SECM_XFM transformation process.

  3. The transformation Application Engine loads the data into the securities application tables using the TRX_SEC_HDR IP message for securities definition data or the TRX_SEC_MKTVAL IP message for security market values.

Click to jump to parent topicProcessing Security Mark-to-Market Values

After capturing deals involving securities, use the Security Mark-to-Market Application Engine process (TR_SEC_MTM) periodically to update security market rates. You should import current market values first, using the Security Market Values Import page, to ensure that the deals are updated with the latest market rates and values.

The Securities process provides a table (Security Mark Value) for the security in which current market prices can be stored. The Security Mark-to-Market Application Engine process (TR_SEC_MTM) uses these stored prices to calculate the current market value as of a certain date (for example, January 31, February 28). A corresponding book value is also calculated where appropriate. The new book value calculations incorporates any unamortized fee amounts associated with the deal. These calculations and their storage provide for an accurate unrealized gain/loss calculation in the automated accounting process. The existing MTM Gain/Loss (09) calculation type is used to determine the Unrealized Gain/Loss.
