12 User Defined Behavior Patterns
User defined behavior patterns allow you to define principal amortization schedules and replicating portfolio characteristics for non-maturity products in your portfolio. You can utilize a behavior pattern while generating cash flows (for use in ALM and Liquidity Risk Management) by entering the behavior pattern code as the amortization type code (AMRT_TYPE_CD) for the relevant instrument records. In Funds Transfer Pricing, for certain TP Methods, you can select a Behavior Pattern to support your Transfer Pricing assumptions. In many cases, particularly for ALM processing, the "non-maturity" instruments will be aggregated or summarized balances.
The Behavior Pattern codes can range from 70000 to 99999
The procedure for working with and managing Behavior Patterns includes the following steps:
