In the Create Debt Default Period panel, you can add a debt default period rule that indicates whether to process income when a security is in default. Income refers to both interest income and amortization/accretion. You can also use the panel to disable accruals and leave amortization enabled for swaps when a swap contract is not actually in default.
To create debt default periods:
- In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Setup > Securities > Debt Default Periods/Inhibit Earnings > Create Debt Default Period.
You see the Create Debt Default Period panel. - Complete the options on the Create Debt Default Period panel.
- Add additional debt default period rules using the pane that appears on the bottom of the panel, as follows:
- Click the lower pane.
- Right-click and select Add Rows.
- Enter the number of rows you want to add in the Enter Rows Count dialog box and click OK. You need to add a row for each additional rule you want to add.
- Complete the fields on each row you added. - Click Submit.
