LPOPEN

Initial Commitment. You can specify the total commitment amount for a private equity fund.

LPCOMMIT

Commitment Adjustment. After you book the initial position, you can change the total commitment by increasing or reducing it.

Commitment Adjustment/Capital Call

LPCALL

Capital Call. You can process a capital call (funding of the commitment), which may include both capital investments and fees that impact the funded and unfunded commitments. A capital call increases the funded commitment and decreases the unfunded commitment.

Multiple Cash/Calls
(multiple transactions)

LPCASH

Cash Distribution. You can process a cash distribution from a private equity fund and can break out the distribution between income, expense, and cost. There are two types of cash distributions:

  • Recallable. Cash is paid out to limited partners (LPs), but can be either fully or partially recalled by the general partner (GP) at a later date. This decreases the funded commitment and increases the unfunded commitment.

  • Non-Recallable. Cash is paid out to LPs permanently. This does not affect the funded commitment or unfunded commitment.
