3.6.4.1 Holiday Treatment Type

The Holiday Treatment Type is the parameter that defines how the system checks for schedule dates falling on holidays. You can specify one of the following options:

• Include Branch Holiday

  Select this option to indicate that you want the system to check whether a schedule date falls on a local holiday defined for the branch. You cannot specify a check for currency holidays, if you choose this option.

  The system checks the holiday table for your branch. If it encounters a contract entered in your branch, with a schedule date falling on a branch holiday, the holiday is handled according to the holiday-handling preferences you specify.
• Use Facility Currency

  If you choose this option, the system checks whether the schedule date falls on a holiday defined for the currency of the facility (borrower) contract, if this currency is different from the holiday currency you have indicated.

• Use Local Currency

  If you choose this option, the system checks whether the schedule date falls on a holiday defined for the local currency, if this currency is different from the holiday currency, facility currency and contract currency you have indicated.

• Holiday Ccy
  If the system must check whether the schedule date falls on a holiday defined for the currency of the contract, you must specify the code of the holiday currency. Further, you have the following options to specify the specific currency for which the check must be done:

  • Facility Currency
  • Local Currency

  The system checks the holiday table for the currencies you have specified. If it encounters a contract using any of the specified currencies, with a schedule date falling on a holiday for any of the currencies, the holiday is handled according to the holiday-handling preferences you specify.
• Apply Financial Centre Holiday Treatment

  This check box allows you to enable financial centre holiday treatment and add the financial centres for the holiday treatment.
