User Defined Cashflows Page
Use the User Defined Cashflows page (FI_USER_DEFN_CF) to generate cash flows for user-defined instruments, products, or pools.
The business unit, scenario ID, model ID, SetID, scenario type, interest rate, and product, instrument, or pool ID appear by default, depending on the cash flow ID that you selected.
Note: On the Historic Business Rules page a model ID is associated with the specified scenario ID. Before you process cash flows, make sure that theTrace Settings field on the Model Definition page is set to a moderate value for that model ID. ATrace Settings field value of8-Complete could compromise performance capability significantly while processing cash flows.
To model cash flows for a user-defined instrument, product, or pool, enter the start date, end date, initial balance, and interest rate for the cash flow model. Click Detailed Parameters to access the Detailed Parameters page, on which you can enter or modify additional instrument, product, or pool details.
After you have defined the required parameters, click the Run Cashflow button to run the Cash Flow Modeler process. To save the modeling results, click theSave button on the User Defined Cashflows page or the Financial Measures page. The system saves the results.
