Stop Limit
If the variance between the defaulted rate and the rate that is entered varies by a percentage greater than or equal to the Rate Stop Limit, you cannot save the deal.

You should necessarily use a charge class to indicate the charge components applicable to the product. A charge class is a specific type of component that you can build with certain attributes. You can build a charge class, for instance, with the attributes of a specific type of charge component, such as Charges for booking an LS deal. The charges that you link to the deal product will be made applicable to all the deals involving the product.
You can link charge components with the deal product through the Deal Charge Definition screen.
- On the Exchange Derivatives Deal Product Definition screen, click the Events tab.
- On the Event Details screen, specify the event details.
The different stages in the life cycle of a deal are referred to as Events. In the ETD module, the following events are possible for a deal:
Table 6-5 Event Code - Description
Event Code Description EBOK
Booking a deal
EAMD
Amendment of trade time stamp of a deal that is yet to be booked
EMAT
Deal Matching
EREV
Reversal of a deal
At an event, you may want to generate advice or post accounting entries. For instance, while booking a deal in your customer portfolio, you would:
- Pass the requisite charge related entries
- Print a confirmation advice for the benefit of your customer
When defining a deal product, firstly, you have to identify the accounting roles and heads for the product in the Product Accounting Role to Head Mapping screen. Similarly, you have to specify the different event details in through the Product Event Accounting Entries and Advices screen, by either of the following ways:
- Associating the product with an appropriate Role to Head Mapping class and an Events Class
- Mapping accounting roles to heads and defining event details specifically for the product.
The appropriate accounting entries will be posted and the relevant advices can be generated only while booking a deal (EBOK event). During the amendment of trade time stamp of a deal that is yet to be processed in the system, (EAMD) and for deal matching (EMAT), the system will not post any accounting entries. Neither will you be allowed to generate any advices for these events.
For reversing a deal (EREV), the system does an automatic reversal of all the accounting entries that were passed when the particular deal was booked (EBOK).
For further details on maintaining Accounting Entries and Advices, refer Product Definition User Manual under Modularity.
