For a Portfolio product, in addition to these generic attributes, you can specifically define other attributes. These attributes are discussed in detail in this chapter. You can define the attributes specific to a Portfolio product in the SP Product Definition Main screen and the SP Product Preferences screen. In these screens, you can specify the product type and set the product preferences respectively.

Field Description Product Type
The product type identifies the basic nature of a product. A securities product that you create can belong to any one of the following types:
- Bonds
- Zero Coupon Bonds
- Equities
- Rights
- Warrants
Exchange Rate Variance
Define the market price variance that you would like to allow for a security product. This variance is expressed in terms of a percentage. For a special customer or in special cases, you may want to use an exchange rate (a special rate) that is greater than the exchange rate maintained for a currency pair. The variance is referred to as the Exchange Rate Variance. When creating a product, you can express an Exchange Rate Variance Limit in terms of a percentage. This variance limit would apply to all portfolios associated with the portfolio product.
The Override Limit
If the variance between the default rate and the rate input varies by a percentage that is between the Override Limit and the Rate Stop Limit, you can save the transaction (involving the portfolio) by providing an override.
Stop Limit
If the variance between the default rate and the rate input varies by a percentage greater than or equal to the Rate Stop Limit, you cannot save the transaction involving the portfolio.

Field Description Coupon Plotting
Specify whether coupon events that fall on holidays should be shifted forward or backward. You can also choose not to change the event date even if it is a holiday.
In the Coupon Plotting Holiday Treatment field, you can select from the following options:
- Forward
- Backward
- Ignore
The choice that you make here defaults to the specific securities that you define under this product. Irrespective of the holiday treatment specified by you, the system will not perform any holiday adjustment if, in the Product Event Accounting Entries Maintenance, you select ‘No’ as the Holiday Treatment parameter. A more detailed explanation is available in the Products manual. If the forward/backward shift in a coupon event date entails a movement across months, then the event date will be guided by whether you have allowed/disallowed movement across months in the Branch Parameters screen. For more details and an example, refer to the chapter on Bank and Branch Parameter Maintenance in this manual
Accounting Value Date
Interest calculations and accruals are done till the coupon event date. However, if the coupon event date is a holiday, you can specify whether the actual processing of accounting entries should be shifted forward / backward. You can also choose that the accounting entries shall be passed as of the coupon processing date itself, even though it is a holiday. In the Acct Val Dt Holiday Treatment screen, you can select from the following options:- Forward
- Backward
- Ignore
The choice that you make here defaults to the specific securities that you define under this product. If the forward/backward shift in an accounting value date entails a movement across months,then the value date will be guided by whether you have allowed/ disallowed movement across months in the Branch Parameters screen. A coupon event date falling on a holiday may itself be shifted to the previous or following working day. In that case, holiday treatment for the accounting value date becomes irrelevant. For more details and an example, refer to the chapter on Bank and Branch Parameter Maintenance in this manual.
Coupon Date Amendment Limit
For continuous coupon schedules, the coupon payment dates are automatically populated according to the coupon frequency that you specify while defining security. You can amend these dates within the limit that you specify in the Coupon Date Amendment Limit field. For more details on changing coupon dates for continuous schedules, refer to the Securities Online chapter in this manual.
