8.9.1 Defining Behavior Patterns

In user-defined Behavior patterns, you can assign a unique amortization type code to a set of payment tenors, and define principal cash flow amounts (via percentages) for the following instrument types:

  • Non-maturityInstruments
  • Non-performingInstruments
  • Devolvement and Recovery of Guarantees

After you create a behavior pattern, you can use it by mapping the unique behavior pattern code as the amortization type code for your instruments. Behavior pattern codes are defined within a preset range (70000 – 99999). When the cash flow engine encounters an instrument with an amortization type code within this predetermined range, it understands that a Behavior Pattern should be referenced for determining the principal cash flow amounts.
