   Table 5-8 User Preference settings for FTPCS Application

   Parameter	Description
   Parameters - General
   As of Date	All processes reference this date at Runtime to determine the data to include in the process. The As-of-Date value you set in Application Preferences applies to interactive job execution (that is, when you choose to execute a rule directly from a Summary Window). For Batch Processing, the As-of-Date is derived from the Information Date. The As-of-Date is also referenced by some assumptions UI’s to display relevant information therein.
   Show Execution Parameters	If this option is selected, a pop-up window is displayed whenever you execute a process interactively from a summary screen. Within this pop-up window, you may confirm or modify your Run Execution Parameters (As-of-Date and Legal Entity).
   Legal Entity	Similar to As-of-Date, all processes reference Legal Entity at Runtime to determine the data to include in the process. The value of the Legal Entity you set in Application Preferences applies to interactive job execution (that is, when you choose to execute a process directly from a summary screen) and Batch Processing. NOTE: Legal Entity is designed to support implementations that require multi-entity or multi-tenant functionality. If your implementation does not require this functionality, you may utilize the Default Legal Entity in all your processes. Default implies -1 code. The Default Value for the Legal Entity Dimension Column in the instrument data is -1.
   Processing – Application Specific Parameters
   Enable Holiday Calendar Adjustments	Select this option to enable the Holiday Calendar Adjustment capability for the FTP Application. If this option is not selected, the TP Engine ignores all Holiday Calendar information, including instrument level inputs and assumption rule level inputs. The logic for applying Holiday Calendar assumptions is as follows: If Application Preferences - ‘Enable Holiday Calendar Adjustments’ check box is on, then the CFE handles these Holiday Calendar assumptions based on the Account Level values first. If Application Preferences – ‘Enable Holiday Calendar Adjustments’ check box is on, and if Holiday Calendar inputs are not defined at the Account Level, then the CFE refers to the Product/Currency assumptions (TP rule and Adjustment rule). If Application Preferences – ‘Enable Holiday Calendar Adjustments’ check box is on, and if Holiday Calendar inputs are defined at the Account Level AND Product or Currency Assumption level, then the CFE refers to the Account level inputs. If Application Preferences – ‘Enable Holiday Calendar Adjustments’ check box is off, then no Holiday Calendar assumptions are applied.
   Maximum Number of Instrument records to include in detail cash flow output	This parameter allows administrators to define the maximum number of instrument records that any user can select within a process for outputting detailed cash flows. In Funds Transfer Pricing, the maximum value is 10,000. It is recommended, however, that this value be set to 100 or less.
   Assumption Management Defaults
   Default Folder	This parameter allows you to define the default folder selection. The folder selection for all rule types will be defaulted to this selection within the summary page Search screen and when creating a new rule. This selection acts as the starting value for convenience only and users can change to any other available value at their discretion.
   Access Type	This parameter allows you to set the default access typesetting. Selections include Read / Write and Read Only. This selection acts as the starting value for convenience only and users can change at their discretion.
   Initial Currency	This parameter allows you to select the starting currency to be displayed within all business rules. This selection is made for convenience and can be changed within all business rules at the user's discretion.
   Dimensions and Hierarchies Parameters
   Organizational Unit Dimension	Reserved for future release.
   Migration Parameters
   Ledger Migration - Rate Weighting Element	Select the instrument table balance to use for weighting the rates during the migration process. The following options are available: Average Book Balance, Ending Book Balance, or Custom Balance. If “Custom Balance” is selected, the user is presented with a list of Balance type columns to use as the weighting element. The list of available “Custom Balance” columns is read from the “Portfolio” table classification list.
   Custom Ledger Migration	Select any custom leger for migration.
   TP Charge/Credit Balance Parameters
   Instrument	Select the Balance to use for calculating the Charge/Credit amount. Choose from Ending Book Balance or Average Book Balance based on selected balance; Charge/Credt calculation takea place as follows: Rate x TP Charge/Credit Balance x Accrual Basis
   Custom Charge/Credit	For calculating Instrument level charge/Credit amounts, you may also choose the Custom Balance option; If the Custom Balance is selected, then the user is presented with a list of Balance type columns to choose from.
