It is allowed to change a few of these details such as revaluation details, the in and out leg interest details, before saving the contract.
Table 5-2 Derivative Contract Input- Main Tab - Field Description
Field Description Reference Number
Specify the Reference Number in the text box. The field is Mandatory.
In Oracle Banking Treasury, reference numbers are generated automatically and sequentially by the system. This numbered tag is used to identify the entered contract. It is also used in all the accounting entries and transactions related to this contract. Hence the system generates a unique number for each contract.
The contract reference number is a combination of a three-digit branch code, a four-character product code, a five-digit Julian Date, and a four-digit serial number. The Julian Date has the following format:
YYDDD
Here, YY stands for the last two digits of the year and DDD for the number of days (s) that has/ have elapsed in the year.
User Reference
Enter a reference number for the contract. A contract is identified by this number in addition to the Contract Reference Number generated by the system.
Note:
Make sure that the number is unique and cannot be identified in any other contract. By default, the Contract Reference Number generated by the system will be taken as the User Reference No.
External Reference
Specify the identification for the transaction in the external source, as the external reference number, if the transaction is uploaded from an external source.
Reject Reason
Specify the Reject reason Code for payment reversal message. The option list displays all valid code maintained in the system. Choose the appropriate one.
Reversed Reference
The reference number displays the reversed and re-booked contract.
Deal Input time
This field captures the deal execution time at the time of deal booking received from front office.
Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS:SSS (Default).
Here SSS is milliseconds.
Note:
The above format can be changed in the user setting option based on requirement.
System throws an error when you give the wrong date or time format on modification.
Source Code
Indicates the indicate the source from which contracts have to be uploaded.
Swaption Reference
Specify the swaption reference number to associate this contract with an options contract. The option list displays all valid option contract reference numbers maintained in the system. Choose the appropriate one.
use P to have the details populated by the system. The system will default the following details based on the product code or the swaption reference number.
- Product Code
- Product Type
- Counter party
- Value Date
- Maturity Date
- In Leg currency
- In Leg Principal Amount
- Settlement Account Branch
- Settlement Account
The system triggers DBOK event when you save the contract. In this case, the system updates the status of the new contract as ‘Yet to be initiated’. On authorization, the system links this contract to the corresponding swaption deal. On ‘Options Contract Input’ screen, you can view the contract reference number of the linked DV contract under ‘Interest Rate Options’ tab.
The system allows the reversal of the swaption contract only after reversing the IRS contract linked to it.
During the manual/auto-exercise of the OT contract, the system will initiate the corresponding DV contract. The system will trigger the DOPT event as part of this process. While performing auto-exercise during EOD operations, if an OT swaption contract is not linked to any DV contract, the system will move that particular OT contract to process exception. However, the EOD process will not fail for process exceptions. For such contracts, the contract status will continue to be active even after the maturity date of the swaption deal. You can manually control it by reversing or determination the Swaption contract.
Counterparty
When the details of a derivative contract are entered, specify the customer with whom the derivative contract is being entered. Specify the code of an authorized customer who falls into a category allowed for the product linked to the contract.
Settlement Account Branch
To settle these components in an account existing at a branch other than the one where the contract is initiated, then indicate the branch code where the account resides. Subsequently indicate the account number of the settlement account.
If Settlement Instructions is defined for the customer, the settlement accounts is picked from those instructions. While entering the details of the contract, you can change the Settlement Instructions for the derivative contract.
Note:
- If a settlement account is specified in the settlement instructions for the customer, and a different account is specified for the derivative contract, the account specified for the contract takes preference.
- If Debit or Credit settlement accounts are specified that use an accounting class that is restricted for the product, an override is sought.
Account
Specify the settlement account if the Settlement Instructions are not defined for the customer. The settlement account that specified is the account through which the various components linked to the contract get settled.
Contract Type
All derivative contracts must be designated at inception either as Trade or as Hedge contracts. At the time of product definition, you would have indicated whether the product being defined is meant for trade deals or hedge deals. When you associate a contract with a product, the specification you made for the product will default to the contract. It is possible to change this specification.
The Contract Type specification determines the accounting entries that will be passed for processing the particular contract. The system will identify all trade contracts and revalue them according to the revaluation preferences specified. For hedge type of contracts, interest accruals will be carried out at periodic intervals.
Also indicate the contract is a Buy type or Sell type of contract.
Resettable Leg
Specify the leg details as required. This identifies which leg of the swap is resettable. The options available are:
- None
- Inleg
- Outleg
WARNING:
For IRS, FRA and plain CCS derivatives type deals, this field should be blank if you select any of the legs as an option then the system throws an error: Resettable is allowed only for Mark to Market Resettable Cross Currency Swaps.Trade Date
The system defaults to the current date as the trade date. This is the date on which the deal is agreed with the counterparty. Once authorized, the Trade date cannot be amended.
The system displays error messages under the following conditions:
- Trade date is greater than current system date
- Trade date is holiday as per the deal currency
- Trade date is blank
- Trade date is later than the value date
- Trade date is earlier than the product start date
Booking Date
Displays the deal details entered date.
This defaults to the system date (todays date). This date is for information purposes only. The accounting entries are passed as of the Value Date of the deal (initiation date of the deal).
Value Date
If you are entering the details of interest/cross-currency swap, indicate the date on which the swap takes effect. In the case of an FRA, the value date would typically be the date on which the deal settles.
The accounting entries for the initiation of the deal will be passed as of the value date. The tenor of the deal will begin from this date and all calculations for interest and all the other components based on tenor will be made from this date onwards.
The system defaults to todays date. It is possible to enter the Value Date of your choice here, and it can be any one of the following:
- Todays date
- A date in the past
- A date in the future
The Value Date must not be earlier than the Start Date or later than the End Date of the product involved in the deal. If the liquidation date for any of the deal components falls before todays date, the liquidation entries (as defined by you for the product) will be passed if you have specified the same for the product.
Maturity Date
While maintaining the details of a swap, indicate the date on which the swap matures. If you are maintaining details of an FRA, the maturity date would be the last date for the computation period.
Buy or Sell
Indicates the contract is a Buy type or Sell type of contract.
Indexation Type
Select the indexation type from the adjoining drop-down list. The list displays the following values:- Inflation Revenue
- Zero Coupon
- Year on year
In/Out Leg
As part of maintaining the In and Out leg details of the contract, indicate the currency, amount, rate code, rate source, the principal schedules and interest details for both the in as well as the out legs of the contract.
Currency and Amount
Indicate the currency in which interest amount should be calculated for both the inward as well as the outward legs of the contract. Select the currency code from the option list available.
In addition, you are also required to indicate the principal amount (Actual/ Notional) for both the legs of the contract. The amount that you specify will be taken in the currency indicated for the particular leg of the contract.
Liquidate Past Schedules
Choose to liquidate past schedules of backdated contracts. If you specify that backdated schedules should be liquidated the system will liquidate these schedules irrespective of the availability of funds.
For example,
The derivative contract is initiated as of today, a date in the future, or as a date in the past.
Todays date is October 15, 2000. Suppose you initiate a hedge swap today, of 15,000 USD with the Value Date (the date on which the swap comes into effect) as of September 15, 2000, the system will pass accounting entries for initiation as of September 15.
But if there had been an interest payment schedule for September 30, 2000, for 500 USD, then if you specify that back valued schedules should be liquidated, you can make the system pass accounting entries to liquidate this schedule also when the loan is initiated.
Note:
The entries associated with each event (initiation and liquidation in this case) is passed only if it is defined for the product. Further, the accounts used will be the ones defined for each entry.Broker
When processing a deal that involves brokerage, indicate the ID of the broker through whom the deal was brokered. The adjoining option list displays a list of valid brokers with whom you can enter deals. Select the appropriate one.
It is allowed to enter details of a broker only if brokerage is allowed for the product to which the deal is associated.
Dealer
Select the name of the dealer involved in the transaction.
Exchange Rate
While maintaining details of Cross Currency Swaps indicates the Exchange Rate for the exchange of principal. The indicated rate is used for determining the Out leg amount for the initial exchange in principal, given the In Leg amount.
Note:
The indicated exchange rate is validated against the exchange rate variance limits (Override Limit, Stop Limit) specified at the time of defining the product. If the exchange rate variance exceeds the Override Limit, the system displays an appropriate override message. If the rate variance exceeds the Stop Limit, then it is not allowed to save the contract until you change the rate.Remarks
Free-format information about the details of the contract is captured in this field. The specified remarks are not reflected in any of the advice sent to the customer.
It is possible to capture the relevant information in the window that gets displayed. Once the necessary information is captured, click Ok.
Default Details
At the time of input of a contract in different currencies, after you have specified the currency and amount of the first leg and the currency of the second leg, you must click Default. The system displays the equivalent amount for the second leg in the currency specified for that leg.
In case of contracts with both legs in the same currency, use the Default button, or manually input the amount and currency for both legs.
Note:
If the Principal and Interest details for a contract need to be specified, use the Default button irrespective of whether both legs of a contract are in the same currency or different currencies. The system displays an error if you try to access the Principal and Interest screens without having visited the Default button.Rate Type
The interest paid on both the legs of the contract can either be a fixed amount or an interest rate that changes periodically. For special cases, it is also allowed to maintain a flat amount.
If you specify that the interest rate for either of the legs is fixed, then indicate the rate of interest for the particular leg of the contract. When the rate type is floating, indicate the rate code based on which the interest rate must be calculated. Similarly, when the rate type is special, indicate the flat amount that is to be used to calculate interest.
When the rate type is ‘Inflation’, then the rate maintained for index value must be allowed to select in rate code.
Rate Code
If the contract involves a product defined with floating interest, this is the Rate Code that links the contract to the Floating Rate table. As is the case with the Rate Type, so also the Rate Code linked to the product will be displayed in this field. You can choose to change it.
Rate Source
For all contracts with a floating interest rate leg, apart from specifying the Rate Code, it is required to indicate the Rate Source. The rate source indicated (such as Telerate, Reuters) is used to pick up the floating rate for the outward/inward leg of the contract.
Tenor Code
The tenor code refers to the tenor of the floating rate code and currency combination to be associated with this leg of the contract. Once Rate Code is selected, the code assigned to the tenor linked to the particular Rate Code is displayed in this field. Choose to change it by selecting another code from the list of the available options
Spread (on a floating interest rate)
When the Rate Type of the particular leg of a contract is floating you can choose to specify a spread that is to be applied over the rate maintained in the Floating Rate screen.
The Spread that you enter should be greater than or equal to the Minimum Spread and less than or equal to the Maximum Spread defined for the product that the contract involves.
The entered Spread must be greater than or equal to the Minimum Spread and less than or equal to the Maximum Spread defined for the product that the contract involves.
If the applied spread happens to be greater than the Maximum Spread, then the Maximum Spread will be applied to the rate. On the other hand, if it is less than the Minimum Spread defined for the product, the Minimum Spread will be picked up.
Rate
If specified that the interest rate for this leg of the contract is Fixed, then enter the actual rate of interest.
Flat Amount
If indicated the Rate Type is Special for this leg of the contract then, specify the Flat Amount.
Initial Level
Specify the initial value of index that must be used for calculation.

Customer
If the counterparty from whom you are assuming the contract is a customer of your bank, indicate the name of the customer. When the counterparty is not in any way connected to your bank, it is not necessary to specify the name.
Base Currency
Since you can maintain different currencies for both the in and out legs of the contract, you have to identify one single currency as the Base Currency of the contract. The specified base currency is used to compute the contract fair value to be used for revaluation purposes.
Revision Schedules
Revaluation is typically applicable to trade deals. The revaluation preferences that you made at the product level will default to the contract. You may change these preferences while processing the contracts.
If indeed revaluation is required for the contract being processed, it is done, according to the chosen revaluation method.
Note:
Each of the revaluation methods is thoroughly explained in the chapter Defining the Fair Price revaluation methods.Netting Required
This field indicates whether contracts with positive and negative MTM values are netted, for computing credit limit utilization. Once the MA Code is specified, the other details linked to the code, such as Limits Tracking Required, Netting required, and so on being defaulted to the contract.

Similarly, how revaluation entries must be passed, whether at the leg level or the contract level, will also default from the Product Preference screen.
At the product level, if you have specified that revaluation netting is not required, then you will not be allowed to change this at the contract level. However, at the product level, if you have indicated that revaluation netting is required, then you can change this to Not Required at the contract level.
Rate Code
If you indicate that the revaluation must be based either on the Contract Specific Rate, or the Branch Specific Rate, then you have to indicate the Rate Code, which should be used for the same purpose.
Rate Source
This is the Rate Source to which the Rate Code belongs. Select from the adjoining option list, and indicate the Rate Source to which the Rate Code is to be linked.
Inception Value
The inception value refers to the value of the contract at inception. This is applicable only in the trade deals. Either you can choose to amortize the gain/loss at inception, or you can choose to ignore the same.
Note:
Your preference at the product level regarding the amortization of inception gain and/or loss will be made applicable to the contract as well. However, if you do not want to allow amortization for inception gain/loss for this particular contract, you will be allowed to do so. - On the Derivative Contract Input screen, click Additional.

If the contract is governed by a Master agreement, then if any of the three fields (Fair Value Limit Tracking, Notional Limits Tracking, and Risk Weighted Limits Tracking) are checked in the Master Agreement for the limit tracking.
The required option is checked at the contract level.
The fields Notional Limits Tracking, Notional Line Code, Risk-Weighted Limits Tracking and Risk Weighted Line Code default from the Master agreement maintenance, if the contract comes under the preview of a Master Agreement. The Notional Line Code and Risk Weighted Line Code are mandatory if the Notional Limits Tracking and Risk Weighted Limits Tracking options are enabled, respectively.
For the line code, all valid lines for the counterparty and the product is displayed in the option list.
On saving the contract, all the three lines selected are validated for any restrictions based on product and currency. System also ensures that all line codes selected are distinct from each other.
Risk percentage and Risk weighted amount are calculated and shown on the screen as soon as the Risk-Weighted Limits Tracking option is selected. These fields are re-calculated if the value date or the maturity date is amended.
Risk-Weighted Amount is calculated as follows:- Risk percent is computed by comparing the tenor (Maturity date – Value date) of the contract with the tenor slabs in risk percent maintenance. The risk category used for comparison will be the risk category, defined in customer maintenance for the counterparty of the derivatives and options contract. The product used for comparison will be the product for the contract. If there is no risk maintenance for the particular category and product, the product is replaced by ALL, and risk percent for contract tenor, customer category and product ALL will be arrived at. The module used to find out the risk percent will be ‘DV for derivatives.
- Various combinations possible for find out risk percentage in order of preference are:
- DV + Customer Category + Product
- DV + Customer Category + ALL
-
An error message displays if Risk-Weighted Limit Tracking is checked, and risk percentage cannot be arrived at.
- Risk percent once arrived is stored, and the contract level is used to compute the risk-weighted amount for limit tracking. Any future amendment of risk percentage, in risk percentage maintenance does not affect the risk-weighted amount of the contract and it will remain the same throughout the life cycle of the contract.
-
Limits Utilization for the Notional Amount and the Risk-Weighted amount will be done against the in leg currency for FRA, IRS, and CCS.

For more information on fields, refer to the table.
Just as you maintain principal schedule details for the in and out legs of the contract so also you are required to indicate the interest schedule, interest revision schedule, and accrual related details for every contract that you process.
As a result of linking a product to a contract, all the product-specific preferences defined at the product level will be inherited by the contract. These preferences include the interest accrual preferences, liquidation preferences, and the schedules for the various interest and revision interest components.
Note:
Except for the interest accrual frequency, which you have defined at the product level, you are allowed to modify all the other preferences (accrual as well as liquidation) to suit the contract you are processing.Table 5-11 Main Tab - Field Description
Field Description Accrual Required
You can choose not to accrue interest for a particular contract although you have indicated this preference at the product level. The accrual function when running as part of the batch process run at EOD calculates the accrual amount and passes accrual accounting entries for the accruable interest components of a derivative contract. The function will pick up derivative contracts for processing on the following criterion:
For instance, when you are processing a trade deal, interest accrual details are not required, since trade deals are always revalued. In the Interest Details screen, indicate that interest accrual is not required for the specific contract by disabling the option.
However if indeed interest accrual is required for the contract you are processing and you merely want to change the accrual related details such as the interest calculation method, the basis on which interest is to be calculated for the accrual period, you are allowed to do so.
- Active and authorized contracts which are yet to be liquidated.
- Contracts whose accrual date falls on the current processing date or contracts whose accrual date falls between the current processing date and the next working date.
The date on which accrual is due for a contract is calculated based on the accrual date and accrual frequency defined for the product associated with the contract. If the accrual date of a bill falls on a holiday, the accruals are done as per your holiday handling specifications for automatic processes.

Adhere To Month End
If the interest revision schedule is in terms of a month, choose to indicate whether the schedule days should adhere to Month-Ends by checking this option.
During rate revision, the system picks up the floating rate applicable to the contract. If the ‘Related Component (spread) is not zero, the interest rate of the related component is also picked up as part of rate revision. This floating rate along with the spread is then compared with Cap, or Floor rate depending on the Interest Type specified for the contract, to arrive at the final rate.
How the system determines the final rate for each of the four interest types is given below:
- For Interest Type Cap, if the total floating rate arrived at by the system plus interest rate of related component is greater than Cap Rate, the final rate is taken as the Cap Rate minus interest rate of a related component if the same is specified. If a related component is not selected, the final rate will be Cap Rate minus the spread part. The rate of the related component cannot be more than the Cap Rate.
- For Interest Type Floor, if the total floating rate is less than the Floor Rate, and if Related Component is specified, the final rate will be taken as Floor Rate minus interest rate of the Related Component. If the Related Component is not maintained, the final rate will be the Floor Rate minus the spread component.
- If Interest Type is Corridor then, the final rate will lie between the Floor Rate and Cap Rate. If the final rate is above Cap Rate, then the final rate is decided, as in the case explained for Cap interest type (where the spread is zero). Similarly, if the final rate is below Floor Rate, the final rate is decided, as explained for the Floor interest type above.
- If the interest type is Normal, both the final rate as well as the spread will be taken as it is. Also, Related Component will not be applicable in this case.

For more information of fields, refer to the below table.
For each leg of the transaction, you can specify the charges that you levy. Charges are applicable only the for customer legs of a transaction.
The characteristic feature of a charge is that it is always booked in advance and is not accrued, as a charge is collected only when it is due.
To recall, you have defined the attributes of a charge by defining a Charge Rule in the ‘ICCF Rule Definition screen. A rule identifies the basic nature of the charge. You have further defined a Charge class in the Charge Class Maintenance screen where you have enriched the attributes of a rule. We shall refer to these classes as components.
Each charge component, in turn, is linked to a product. All the charge components linked to a product default to the contracts associated with it. Thus each time you enter a contract, you need not specify when and how charges should be collected. However, while capturing the details of a transaction, you can choose to associate a component to the transaction. Further, you can modify some of the attributes defined for the applicable component.
The reference number of the transaction leg for which you are defining charge details is displayed. The screen will contain a list of all the charge components applicable to the transaction leg.

Table 5-19 Derivatives Contract Principal Details - Field Description
Field Description Holiday Treatment
In Oracle Banking Treasury, a scheduled date on a holiday is treated in the following ways:
- Ignore the holiday - In which case the holiday will be ignored, and the scheduled date will be retained on that day.
- Choose to follow the Local holiday - The holiday will be treated as per your specifications in the Branch Holiday Maintenance screen.
- Choose to follow the Currency holiday - The movement of schedules will be based on the holiday calendars maintained for all the currencies that you have specified for the contract in the Holiday Currency screen (explained in detail in the subsequent section.
- Indicate that the holiday treatment should be governed by the Financial Center - In such a case, the movement of schedules is based on the holidays maintained for the financial institutions involved in the contract (multiple financial institutions are also maintained in the Holiday Currency screen).
Holiday Currency and Financial Centre
Choose to follow either the currency holiday or the holiday calendar maintained for the financial center, you need to specify the currencies/ financial institutions that are involved in the contract. In the event, the scheduled date of a component falls due on a holiday, the system computes the next schedule date based on the combination of holiday calendars maintained for all the currencies/ financial institutions that you have specified for the contract (whether principal, interest or revision). Therefore, in effect, the next scheduled date for a component will be a working day in all the calendars involved in the contract.
Auto Settlement
The principal exchange schedules can either be settled automatically or manually. In this case, only automatic settlement is supported.
Move Backward/Forward
Occasionally the preferred holiday treatment, the branch holiday, the currency holiday, or the holiday governed by the financial center may, in turn, fall on a holiday. In such a situation, indicate the movement of the scheduled date. Whether it is to be moved forward to the next working day, or whether it must be moved back to the previous working day.
This concept can be easily explained with the help of an example:
For a CCS Trade Contract, you have defined monthly schedules falling due on the following dates:
- March 31
- April 30
- May 31
April 30 is a holiday. You have the following options in fixing the date for that schedule:
- You can move the schedule date forward to the next working day, which happens to be May 1. In this case, the schedule will be liquidated during BOD processes on this date, as it is a working day.
- You can move the schedule date backward. In such a case, the scheduled date will be April 29, the last working day before the holiday. The schedule will be liquidated during BOD processes on this date as it is a working day.
Moving Across Months
If you have chosen to move a principal schedule falling due on a holiday either forward or backward, such that it falls due on a working day, and it crosses over into another month, the scheduled date will be moved into the next month only if you so indicate. If not, the scheduled date will be kept in the same month.
For example,
Scenario 1
You have defined a principal schedule that falls due on April 30. This happens to be a holiday. You have indicated that in case of a holiday, the scheduled date is to be moved forward to the next working day.
If you have indicated that the schedule can be moved across months, then the schedule will be automatically moved to May 1, that is, the next working day in the next month.
If you have not allowed movement across the month but have indicated forward movement for the same schedule under discussion, the scheduled date will be automatically moved (backward in this case), to the last working day of the same month, that is, to April 29 despite you are having indicated a forward movement into the next working day.
Scenario 2:
You have defined a repayment schedule that falls due on May 1. This happens to be a holiday. You have indicated that in case of a holiday, the scheduled date is to be moved backward to the previous working day. If you have indicated that the schedule can be moved across months, then the schedule will be automatically moved to April 30, that is, the previous working day. If you have not allowed movement across months, but have indicated backward movement for this schedule, the scheduled date will be automatically moved (forward in this case), to the next the working day of the same month, that is to May 2, despite your having indicated a backward movement into the previous working day.
The question of cascading schedules arises only if:
- You have specified that a schedule falling due on a holiday has to be moved forward or backward
- The schedule has been defined with a definite frequency.
If you have indicated that schedules should be cascaded, the scheduled date for the next payable schedule will depend on how the schedule date was moved for a holiday. The following example illustrates how this concept of cascading schedules functions:
For example,
A monthly schedule is defined with backward movement, and a scheduled date falling due on April 30 was moved to April 29, April 30 is a holiday.
The scheduled date for May depends on whether you have chosen to cascade schedules. If you have, the scheduled date for May will be set as May 29, as the frequency is specified as monthly. For the subsequent schedules also, May 29 will be considered the last scheduled date.
If you have not specified that schedules have to be cascaded, the date originally specified will be the date for drawing up the schedules. Even if the April month-end schedule is moved to April 29, the next schedule will remain on May 30.

Schedule Type
Select the schedule from the list of values displayed.
The Options are
- Principal
- Interest
- Revision
- Principal Reset
Base Start Date
Enter the date on which the particular principal schedule should start.
Frequency
In addition to indicating the holiday treatment, you also need to specify the periodicity of the frequency of the schedules for each principal component. You can indicate that the frequency of schedules can either be Periodic or Bullet.
Frequency Unit
In addition to specifying the frequency of schedules, you are also required to indicate the number of units of the frequency. The number of units that you indicate determines the actual schedule frequency.
For instance, for a particular schedule, have a bi-weekly frequency. The list of choices available for the Frequency field does not have this option. In the Frequency field, indicate the option Daily. Enter 2 as the Frequency Unit, the particular schedule will be due once every two weeks.
Number of Schedules
For a particular Frequency and Frequency Unit combination, you can choose to have several schedules depending on how many you want to define for the particular component.
For instance, for a particular schedule, you have indicated that the Frequency should be Weekly and the Frequency Unit as 2. Subsequently, you indicate that the Number of Schedules as 12. This particular schedule will be run once every two weeks, twelve times.
Adhere to the Month End
When the principal exchange frequency is in terms of a month, you can choose to indicate whether the schedules must be liquidated as of the last working day of the month, or whether it should strictly follow the defined schedule.
For example,The start date of a particular schedule is 1st February 2000. The frequency you have specified is Monthly, and you indicate that the Frequency Unit is 1.If you indicate that schedules have to adhere to month ends, the particular schedule will be liquidated on the 29th of February 2000. However, if you do enable this option, the schedule will be liquidated on the 1st of March 2000.
Adjustment Type
Periodically scheduled repayment of the principal amount will always bring about a readjustment in the principal amount. It either increases or decreases the amount that is to be repaid to the counterparty.
Therefore while defining principal schedules, indicate whether liquidation of the particular schedule results in the Increase or Decrease of the actual amount.
Amount
Since the periodic schedule repayment of the principal amount either increases or decreases the amount to be repaid to the counterparty, you have to indicate the amount by which the principal is being changed.

- FX Fixing Rate: According to the FX revaluation system calculates the principal adjustment amount and the new principal amount of the resettable leg changes accordingly. The FX fixing rate is fetched from the exchange rate field of new derivative Principal reset screen DVDPRSET after every FX fixing reset or during EOD processing the rate picked up as on date.
- FX Fixing Date: System builds these dates based on the principal reset schedule start date and FX rate fixing days at the time of contract save.
- Principal Reset Amount: On the fixing date, the principal amount reset, it can increase or decrease based on the FX rate movement.
- Principal Reset Applied: The values will be Y or N. At the time of booking the value will be N. As and when FX rate fixing is done manually through UI or GW, and during the EOD process on the fixing date the value will change to Y.
- Adjustment Type: Can be Increased or Decreased depending on the FX rate going up or down respectively.
- Adjustment amount: On the FX fixing date, the current FX rate between the two currencies is observed. The difference between the previous FX rate and the new FX rate is the adjustment amount or change in principal that gets cash-settled in resettable currency.
- Principal Amount: Principal after amortization

The following example illustrates the procedure for combined holiday processing as handled by Oracle FLEXUBE:
For example,
Your bank enters into a CCS trade contract involving USD and GBP on 1st March 2001. You have defined multiple schedules falling due on the following dates:
- March 31
- April 30
- May 31
The other holiday handling specifications are as follows:
- Move Forward – Yes
- Move Across Months – Yes
The following is a section of the holiday calendar maintained for the two currencies for the year 2001:
Table 5-24 Holiday calendar maintained for the two currencies for the year 2001
Currency Days 30thMarch 31stMarch 1stApril 2ndApril 3rdApril USD
Working
Working
Holiday
Holiday

GBP
Working
Holiday
Working
Holiday
Working
The first schedule falls due on March 31st. As per the calendar for USD, 31st March is a working day. But GBP is closed on 31st; hence the schedule will not be liquidated on this day. The next scheduled date is computed, such that it is a working day for both USD and GBP. The system, therefore, moves forward (as the Move Forward option is selected) to check the specification for the next day. As per the calendars, 1st April is a holiday for USD and 2nd April is a holiday for both USD and GBP. Therefore, liquidation is not possible on either of these days. 3rd April is the next working day for USD, which is also marked as a working day for GBP. Therefore, 3rd April 2001 is the next valid schedule date (for the schedule due on 31st March) since it is marked as a working day in both the calendars.
The net result due to the combination of both the calendars is as follows:
Table 5-25 Calendar
Net Result Days Days Days Days Days Net Result 30thMarch 31stMarch 1stApril 2ndApril 3rdApril Combined results
Working
Working
Holiday

In this example, if you choose the Move Backward option, the system checks the status of the previous day to arrive at the next scheduled date. In this case, 30th March is a working day for both currencies. Hence, 30th March 2001 will be the next scheduled date for the contract.
The relevant contract confirmations (both SWIFT and MAIL) will also reflect the fact that the holiday treatment is based on multiple holiday calendars.
Note:
The holiday treatment for the interest and revision schedules (if allowed for the derivative type involved in the contract) is also handled similarly. - On Contract Principal screen, click
