1.2.7.1 Define Events and Accounting Details Specifically for a Product

If you do not use an events class, you should define event details specifically for the product. In this case, select an event from the adjoining option list that displays a list of events pertaining to the module.

For every event you select, you should specify the accounting entries that should be passed and the advices that should be generated.

Receiver Bank Charges

  2. On the Accounting Entries screen, specify the fields.

    For an each event, you have to maintain accounting information as follows

    Table 1-7 Accounting Entries - Field Description

    Field Description
    Accounting Role

    Specify the accounting role that should be used at the event. The option list displays all the accounting roles specified for the product in the Accounting Role Definition screen.

    Amount Tag

    Specify the tag which identifies the component that has to be posted to the account head.

    Dr/Cr

    Indicate whether the accounting role you specified is for the debit or credit leg of the contract event

    Txn Code

    Every accounting entry in Oracle Banking Treasury Management is associated with a Transaction Code that describes the nature of the entry. Specify the transaction code that should be used to post the accounting entry to the account head.

    Netting
    Specify whether accounting entries should be netted at an event. You can net the accounting entries that are generated at an event if the set of entries satisfy the following criteria:
    • The entries belong to the same Account and Branch
    • The entries to be netted are in the same currency
    • The entries have the same value date
    • The exchange rate to be picked up for the entries is the same
    You should define details for both the legs of an accounting entry. For each accounting entry, you should specify the details of the debit and the credit leg. Thus, the first two specifications will be for one entry, the next two for another, and so on. The Transaction Code for the entry should be specified for both legs of the entries.

    Note:

    If netting is indicated for Income/Expense GLs marked for accounting entry-based revaluation of FCY entries, an override is displayed. If the override is accepted, the offset is not identifiable and the entry is revalued as a single entry. For more information on accounting entry-based revaluation of FCY entries for an Income/Expense GL, refer the General Ledger (GL) user manual.
    Adjustments are to be Made for Holidays

    This parameter is available only for securities portfolio product definition in the Securities module.

    For coupon events falling on holidays, you have the option of shifting the event date forward / backward or leaving it unchanged. You can maintain your specifications at the Product level to be inherited by each individual security that you define under that product, with the option of changing them for a particular security.

    However, irrespective of the holiday treatment specified by you, the system will not perform any holiday adjustment for coupon events if, in the Product Event Accounting Entries Maintenance, you select ‘No’ as the Holiday Treatment parameter.

    If you wish to apply holiday treatment for coupon events as specified by you either as part of product preferences or at the contract level, select ‘Yes’ in the Holiday Treatment field for accounting entries for coupon receipts or payments.

    Rate Type Indicator

    Select the rate type indicator used for revaluation purpose from the drop-down list. Following are the options available in the drop-down list:

    • Mid
    • Buy
    • Sale
