Primary Accounting Basis

21

Specifies the primary accounting basis for the entity. You cannot edit this field after you create the entity. The system is installed with a set of values for this field. You can add additional code values using the Codes workspace. Options include:

  • USTAX. Default. The system is set up in accordance with domestic tax regulations.

  • GAAP. The system is set up in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This is the most common basis.

  • IFRS. The system is set up in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

  • STAT. The system is set up for use with statutory insurance.

Controlling Basis

4949

Indicates whether the selected accounting basis is the entity's controlling basis for use with for same lot selection. Same lot selection allows the system to relieve the same lots across multiple bases in order to keep lots in sync across bases. Options include:

  • Yes. Indicates that the accounting basis identified in the Primary Accounting Basis field (tag 21) is the entity's controlling basis. The controlling basis is the accounting basis that controls lot selection for closing transactions. An entity can have a single controlling basis. You can designate a primary or a non primary basis as the controlling basis. 

  • No. Indicates that the accounting basis identified in the Primary Accounting Basis field (tag 21) is a non-controlling basis for the entity during same lot selection. A non-controlling basis attempts to close the same lots that the controlling basis closed. An entity can have one or more non-controlling bases.

  • Empty. Indicates that the accounting basis identified in the Primary Accounting Basis field (tag 21) does not participate in same lot selection.

Regulatory Category

12387

Specifies the regulatory category associated with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). A regulatory category is a classification that determines how to account for financial instruments. The new IFRS 9 categories that replace IAS 39 categories include Amortized Cost, Fair Value - Other Comprehensive Income, and Fair Value Profit Loss. IFRS 9 categories classify debt instruments based on their contractual cash flow characteristics and the business model in which they are held. Equity securities are classified in the FVOCI or FVPL regulatory categories. If you set the Accounting Basis field to a value of IFRS, you must specify a regulatory category. If you choose an accounting basis value other than IFRS, use of a regulatory category is optional. All investments within an entity/accounting basis must have the same regulatory category. A multi basis entity can have different regulatory categories by basis. Options include:

  • AC (Amortized Cost). Used for debt instruments when the business model in which the financial assets are held has an objective to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows. Contractual cash flows must be solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (P&I).

  • AFS (Available for Sale). Used for financial assets that are available for sale.

  • AFSC (Available for Sale at Cost). Used for instruments that are valued at cost and are available for sale.

  • FVO (Fair Value Option). Used for instruments managed on a fair value basis.

  • FVOCI (Fair Value – Other Comprehensive Income). Used for debt instruments when the business model in which the financial assets are held has an objective both to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets. Contractual cash flows must be solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (P&I). Used for equity investments only if an entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition for the equity investments to be measured at FVOCI without recycling gains and losses to earnings.

  • FVPL (Fair Value Profit Loss). Used for all other instruments, including derivatives, those held for trading, and those managed on a fair value basis. Includes debt instruments not qualified for AC or FVOCI regulatory categories. Also includes equities not designated as FVOCI and derivatives plus debt securities that are classified with an FVO election.

  • HFT (Held for Trading). Used for instruments held with the intent of selling them.

  • HTM (Held to Maturity). Used for non derivative financial assets that you intend to hold to the asset's maturity or payment date and whose cash value is not needed until that date.

  • LR (Loans and Receivables). Used for non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.

  • MFFVO (Mutual Fund Fair Value Option). Used with mutual funds with a Fair Value Option category. This regulatory category is for informational purposes only, and does not have a corresponding custom chart of account to use in ledger reporting. No core processes for Eagle's Accounting solution are affected.

  • MFHFT (Mutual Fund Held for Trading). Used with mutual funds with a Held for Trading category. This regulatory category is for informational purposes only and does not have a corresponding custom chart of account to use in ledger reporting. No core processes for Eagle's Accounting solution are affected.

  • O (Other). Used for other instruments.

Regulatory Category Effective Date

9137

Identifies the date that the regulatory category is eligible for processing. This field appears after you specify a regulatory category value. When you first enter a regulatory category, this field displays the entity's inception date by default, but you can override that value. When you change a regulatory category, you can specify the effective date for that change. If you change categories, be aware that the system uses the Regulatory Category Effective Date field value to determine the chart of account in effect for reporting purposes. Reports process based on the custom chart of account that was "active" during the period, using the report end date to determine what was active.

URGL Accounting Rule

1079

Specifies the URGL (unrealized gain/loss) rule for the entity/accounting basis that establishes proper treatment of unrealized market and currency gains/losses to ensure compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This option is required only if you select a regulatory category of Amortized Cost, Available for Sale, Available for Sale at Cost, Fair Value Option, Fair Value – Other Comprehensive Income, Fair Value Profit Loss, Held for Trading, Held to Maturity, or Loans and Receivables. The URGL rule used for a Fair Value – Other Comprehensive Income basis determines whether the system recognizes realized gains and losses in other comprehensive income rather than earnings. For more information, see Manage URGL Rules

Netting Rule Name

1887

Specifies the netting rule used to net interest rate swaps' and credit index swaps' long and short positions with the same primary asset ID. This allows you to book swaps long and short rather than as opens and closes. This rule gives you the option to net interest rate swaps' and credit index swaps' long and short positions and consolidate multiple lots into one lot when you use the global Run Swap Netting process.

Primary Accounting Basis Postmatrix Type

11708

Specifies which ledger posting matrix the entity/primary accounting basis uses when determining the accounting ledger postings required for a given event. Options include:

  • Core. Default. Used if entity is an investment or mutual fund.

  • Insurance. Used if entity is insurance related (Schedule D).

Primary Accounting Basis Lot Selection Rule

2299

Relieves the current holdings of a security for a primary accounting basis. This option determines processing for the open lots that are eligible to be closed on an additional accounting basis. Options include:

  • Use Basis Value Unless Event = IDLOT or VSP. Default. The system uses the value in the accounting basis table unless the incoming event has a lot selection method of Identified Lot (IDLOT) or Versus Purchase (VSP).

  • Use Event Value. The system uses the lot selection method from the incoming event and does not utilize the lot selection method in the accounting basis table.

  • Always Use Basis Value. The system uses the accounting basis default regardless of what lot selection method is on the incoming event.

  • Use Historical Method Unless Event ID = IDLOT or VSP else use event. The system uses the historical lot selection method on the accounting basis unless the lot selection method on the incoming event is equal to Identified Lot (IDLOT) or Versus Purchase (VSP).

Primary Accounting Basis Mixed Cost Basis Indicator

11664

Determines if the entity/primary accounting basis uses a mixed cost basis. A mixed cost basis allows you to override the entity's accounting basis level elections for the cost method, lot selection method, and lot selection method rule used during transaction processing. You can define mixed cost basis rules based on transaction criteria that includes processing security type (PST) group, processing security type, security type, cost basis rule type, and asset ID, as well as by using each of these criteria in combination with a specified entity. For more information, see Manage Mixed Cost Basis Rules. This field appears in the accounting basis entry panels as the Mixed Cost Basis Indicator (tag 11664) field. Options include:

  • Yes. The entity/primary accounting basis uses a mixed cost basis. The Primary Basis Mixed Cost Basis Rule Name field becomes available.

  • No. Default. The entity/primary accounting basis does not use a mixed cost basis. 

Primary Accounting Basis Mixed Cost Basis Rule Name

11666

Specifies the name of the mixed cost basis rule to use for the entity's primary accounting basis. This option appears if you set the Primary Basis Mixed Cost Basis Indicator field to Yes.

Cost Method

22

Specifies the cost method the system uses to calculate gain/loss amounts from the sale of security lots held by the entity. You cannot edit this field once the entity has holdings. Eagle's Accounting solution is a multiple basis accounting system. If you set up an additional accounting basis, it must have the same cost method as the primary accounting basis. Options include:

  • Identified. Default. The system determines which lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method field. After identifying the lot, the system determines its cost and compares that to the lot's earnings to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes. If you select Identified, you can amortize fixed income securities using all the options the system has available. For more information, see Manage Amortization and Yield Calculations.

  • Average. The system determines which lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method field. After identifying the lot, the system determines the average of all of the holdings (total cost of holdings divided by the number of holdings) to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes. If you select Average, you can amortize fixed income securities using only selected options the system has available. The system applies the total amortization to individual lots based on the percentage of total par owned in the position. For Average Cost portfolios, Eagle Accounting supports only certain amortization methods. For more information, see Understand Average Cost Amortization.

Eagle Accounting supports the cost basis legislation regulations included in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. These regulations, which apply to various types of securities, affect debt securities and options posted on or after January 1, 2013. If a portfolio follows these mandatory guidelines, you must perform additional setup tasks to enable cost basis reporting. For information about enabling cost basis reporting, adding rules for covered and uncovered securities, defining mixed cost basis rules to override your basis level elections for the cost basis method, and information about changing cost methods, see the Cost Basis Legislation Quick Reference Guide.

Lot Selection Method

27

Specifies the lot selection method the system uses to relieve (sell) lots of a security held by the entity. Options include:

  • First In First Out (FIFO). Lots acquired first are sold first. The oldest lot is sold first based on the holding date. If you set the accounting basis Cost Basis Covered Indicator field (tag 2818) to Y, unknown cost lots are relieved first. The oldest cost lot is sold first based on the holding date.

  • Last In First Out (LIFO). Lots acquired last are sold first. The most recent lot is sold first based on the holding date. If multiple lots share the same holding date, the lot with the greatest event sequence is relieved first. The event sequence, set internally by the system, indicates the processing order of transactions within the same position.

  • High Amortized Cost or High Cost (HCLOT). The lots with the highest current cost are sold first. The system uses current unit cost, which includes amortization for debt securities. This method relieves the lots that can generate the maximum loss or the minimal gain.

  • Low Amortized Cost or Low Cost (LCLOT). The lots with the lowest current cost are sold first. The system uses current unit cost, which includes amortization for debt securities. This method relieves the lots that can generate the minimal loss or the maximum gain.

  • High Original Cost (HORIG). The lots with the highest original cost are sold first. The system uses the original unit base cost of the open lots. It relieves the lots that can generate the maximum loss or the minimal gain.

  • Low Original Cost (LORIG). The lots with the lowest original cost are sold first. The system uses the original unit base cost of the open lots. It relieves the lots that can generate the minimal loss or the maximum gain.

  • Identified Lot (IDLOT). The specified lot or lots are sold first, which determines cost and tax implications. You can optimize this option to specific tax situations by selecting the specific lots to be sold. If you select this method, the lower pane in the close trade panel displays lot details for each available lot, as determined by the entity's controlling basis. If no controlling basis exists, it displays lots for the primary basis. You must specify the quantity for one or more lots that you want to relieve. The total quantity you specify for the open lots must match the quantity entered for the total close. The close trade relieves the selected lots in each of the entity's accounting bases, and keeps the lot structures in sync. The system uses the lot's Orig Event ID field (tag 457) to match a single open lot in one basis to corresponding multiple open lots in another basis, as needed. This can occur for lots fractured as a result of wash sale processing.

  • Best Tax. The lots are selected and sold with the objective of taking losses first (short term then long term) and gains last (long term then short term). Lots are sold in the following order:

    1. Short term Losses. Lots that reflect a short term loss are sold first, beginning with lots that generate the greatest short term loss down to the least short term loss.

    2. Long term Losses. Lots that reflect a long term loss are sold, beginning with lots that generate the greatest long term loss down to the least long term loss.

    3. Short term No Gains or Losses. Short term lots that reflect no gain or loss.

    4. Long term No Gains or Losses. Long term lots that reflect no gain or loss.

    5. Long Term Gains. Lots that reflect a long term gain, beginning with lots that generate the least long term gain up to the greatest long term gain.

    6. Short Term Gains. Lots that reflect a short term gain, beginning with lots that generate the least short term gain up to the greatest short term gain.

  • Tax Advantage (TXADV). The lots with the lowest tax liability are sold first to minimize tax liability.

  • Versus Purchases (VSP). The lots are selected and sold based on lot purchase characteristics, such as the target purchase date and the target purchase price. This option must be specified at the trade level.

  • Pro Rata. The lots are selected and sold based on a proportionate allocation. Note that this option is available at the mixed cost basis rule detail level but is not available at the entity/basis level.

  • Tax Efficiency. The lots with the lowest tax liability are sold first to minimize tax liability. The system calculates the tax liability based on the manipulation of entity level tax factors for long and short term gains, long and short term losses, and currency gains. The system also incorporates the wash sale disallowance effect and considers the overall tax implications of closing each individual lot.

  • Modified FIFO (MFIFO). The open lots with the same original acquisition date (tag 216) as the close transaction are sold first, starting with the lots with the lowest unit cost local. If there are no open lots with the same acquisition date as the close transaction, or all same day lots have been sold, the oldest open lots are sold first based on the acquisition date. Within a single acquisition date, the lots with the lowest unit cost local are sold first.

  • Tax Service. (For future use)

Cost Method Cash

9924

Specifies the cost method the system uses to calculate gain or loss amounts from the sale of foreign currency lots held by the entity. You cannot edit this field once the entity has holdings. The system bypasses rollback and replay processing for same day cost of cash activity. The system processes open and close trades for the same date in the order in which the trades arrive. As a result, some close trades may be processed prior to open trades. The average cost close trades do not include the cost of open trades that have not been processed. This may result in small variances in gains and losses for entities processing average cash. There is no effect on ID lot gains and losses. Options include:

  • Identified. The system determines which foreign currency lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method Cash field, which is always FIFO. After identifying the lot, the system determines its cost and compares that to the lot's earnings to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes.

  • Average. The system determines which foreign currency lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method Cash field, which is always FIFO. After identifying the lot, the system determines the average of all of the holdings (total cost of holdings divided by the number of holdings) to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes.

Account Base Currency

86

Specifies the base currency of the entity. You cannot edit this field once the entity has holdings. You can set up the master fund to report on more than one base currency if you add an additional accounting basis.

Country of Tax Code

1342

Specifies the ISO country code of the country in which the entity is located. The system uses the value in the Country of Tax Code field to calculate tax withholding and tax reclaim rates. The system uses the Country of Tax field to determine the applicable tax withholding and reclaim rates in the Global Tax table. The system provides the list of countries and their associated ISO country codes in the COUNTRY CODE category as part of the installation upgrade process. If you enter a value in the Country of Tax Code field, the system fills in the Country of Tax field with its corresponding value. This option exists solely on the entity record, and the value can be edited after the entity is established. The dynamic lookup is based on the COUNTRY CODE code category under source Eagle PACE. For more information, see Manage Tax Withholding and Reclaim Processing.

Country of Tax 

1193

Specifies the name of the country in which the entity is domiciled. If you enter a value for the Country of Tax field, the system fills in the Country of Tax Code field with the corresponding value. The system uses this option as a working storage field to reconcile the Country of Tax Code field. This field is not stored in the Eagle Accounting database. The dynamic lookup is based on the COUNTRY CODE code category.

Tech Short Eligible Indicator 

57

Indicates whether the entity can go technically short (book sell transactions prior to buys that will eventually be posted). Options include:

  • Yes. Default. The system allows you to oversell, sell without a buy, and process a buy to cover without the short. Setting this field to Yes allows you to use the system's rollback and replay feature to adjust earnings. The system creates a negative long position (for an oversell or sell without a buy) or a negative short position (for a buy to cover without the short) and when the buy is received, the system replays that sell transaction.

  • No. The system does not allow you to oversell, sell without a buy, or process a buy to cover without the short. The system rejects the trade and sends it to the Exceptions workspace to be reprocessed manually.

Wash Sale Inhibit Indicator

775

Indicates whether the system can apply the wash sale rule to trades. Options include:

  • No. Default. The system applies the wash sale rule. The system does not record a loss on a sale of a security when you buy substantially identical securities within 30 days before or after the sale. If you select No, the system uses the value you specify for the Wash Sale Eligible Flag field on the trade panel to determine whether to process wash sales.

  • Yes. The system does not apply the wash sale rule. The system records a loss on a sale of a security when you buy substantially identical securities within 30 days before or after the sale. If you select Yes, the system does not process wash sales, regardless of the value you specify for the Wash Sale Eligible Flag field on a trade panel.

Chart of Account

1641

Specifies the entity's chart of account to use in ledger reporting for the accounting basis. The system is installed with a core chart of accounts that contains more than 400 account numbers and descriptions. Custom chart of accounts are also available for each of the IFRS regulatory categories. You must select a value for this field even if you are not using the general ledger. The default field value is STAR. If you edit this value after the entity has holdings, the changes go into effect on the specified Regulatory Category Effective Date field value.

Ledger Granularity Rule Name

8939

Specifies the name of the ledger granularity rule associated with the entity/accounting basis. A ledger granularity rule allows you to customize both your core ledger posting for a breakout by holding term and your custom postings based on security master attributes as well as targeted securities.

Ledger Granularity Rule

8933

Displays the instance number associated with the Ledger Granularity Rule Name selected.

Ledger Granularity Rule Effective Date

155

Specifies the first date when transaction processing will apply the ledger granularity rule selected for the entity/accounting basis.

Holding Term Method

11479

Indicates whether the entity/accounting basis calculates the holding term for short term versus cash equivalent holdings at 90 days or at 3 months. If you use ledger granularity rules to customize your core ledger posting for a breakout by holding term, this option determines how the system calculates that holding term. This field appears after you select a ledger granularity rule. Options include:

  • 90 Days. When you use the system to calculate the holding term, it designates lots bought within 90 days to maturity as cash equivalent (CE) and designates lots bought within one year to maturity, taking leap years into account, as short term (ST).

  • 3 Months. Default. When you use the system to calculate the holding term, it designates lots bought within three months to maturity as cash equivalent (CE) and designates lots bought within one year to maturity, taking leap years into account, as short term (ST).

Entity Status

1283

Identifies the entity as active or inactive. You can use the Change Entity Active Status panel to change the status. Options include:

  • Active. Default. The system reports the entity as active.

  • Inactive. The system reports the entity as inactive.

Short Term Price Method

1872

Specifies how the system prices short term debt instruments. The system identifies a short term fixed income security if the period from Issue Date to Maturity Date is less than or equal to 365 days. It does not do so by Processing Security Type. Options include:

  • Cost. The system prices the short term debt instruments based on the amortized cost of the securities. No unrealized gain/loss entries are created. You must select Cost if you are processing short term discount accruals.

  • Market. Default. The system prices the short term debt instruments using market prices rather than the amortized cost of the securities. Unrealized gain/loss entries are created.

Price Level

12007

Identifies the default price level that the system uses if the entity prices short term fixed income securities priced at amortized cost. This field appears if you set the Short Term Price Method to Cost. The field displays a value of 1 by default, but you can change it to a value of 1, 2, or 3. Eagle Accounting uses the price level in Fair Value Level reporting.

Accounting Period Frequency

624

Specifies the number of accounting periods per calendar year for the entity. You cannot edit this field once the entity has holdings. Options include:

  • Daily. Default. The system establishes one accounting period for each day of the year. If the entity is using a business calendar, the system establishes an accounting period for business days only.

  • Monthly. The system establishes twelve accounting periods for a given year.

  • Weekly. The system establishes one accounting period for each week of the year.

Bifurcation Method

5825

Specifies how the system handles gains and losses on foreign securities and foreign debt instruments. Gains and losses from foreign security and debt instruments may be posted to currency gain/loss ledger accounts, capital gain/loss ledger accounts, or to both. There is no currency gain/loss for domestic securities so you can select No in this field if your organization trades only in domestic securities. For more information, see Understand the Bifurcation Method. Options include:

  • Section 988. Default. The system determines whether to bifurcate (split into parts) the gain/loss between capital and currency based on the security type. You need to specify which security types are eligible for section 988 bifurcation using the Codes workspace. If a security is not set up with a processing security type code, it is not eligible for bifurcation under Section 988. In this case, the system posts capital and currency realized gains/losses to the capital realized gain/loss general ledger accounts.

  • No. The system does not bifurcate (split into parts) the gain/loss between capital and currency. The system posts the capital and currency realized gains/losses to the capital realized gain/loss general ledger accounts only.

  • All. The system bifurcates (split into parts) the gain/loss between capital and currency regardless of the security type. The system posts the capital realized gains/losses to the capital realized gain/loss general ledger accounts and the currency realized gains/losses to the currency realized gain/loss general ledger accounts.

TBA Cashflow

  • No. Default. Eagle Accounting does not segregate derivatives.

Variation Margin Override Rule Name

1081

Allows multiple clients on the same platform to share the same security reference data for futures, future options, and/or cleared swap security master records but to suppress, by entity and processing security type, the variation margin logic on securities set up for variation margin. Futures, future options, and swaps include a Variation Margin (tag 4533) option on the security master record that indicates whether to calculate variation margin. In multi-client environments, some clients may want to use Eagle's variation margin functionality while other clients need to use a model external to Eagle Accounting for variation margin processing. In order to maintain a single security master record and accommodate client-specific elections, an entity-level variation margin override setting allows you to override the security-level setting in applicable entities for certain processing security types. For more information, see Override a Security's Variation Margin Setting for an Entity.

You can also create your own custom month end accounting date. However, if you select a business calendar from the Calendar Name field, the system uses the last business day of the month. The Month End Accounting Date is stored on all transactions booked to the system. This allows you to book As date rules and specify a rule in this field. You cannot edit this field after you create the entity.

The system stores the month end accounting date on all transactions booked to Eagle's Accounting solution, so it books as-of activity in the current accounting period but reflect reflects the transaction in the monthly period that in which it actually occurred in.

Accounting Period Rule

2300

In order to use period close rules, you must set up the Accounting Period Rule field (tag 2300) for each entity. The system uses the entity's Accounting Period Rule field in order to assign the accounting date for a transaction during processing. It also derives the accounting date based on the transaction's effective date (trade date) and based on the accounting period that is open at time of processing. Options include:

  • Trade Date. Default. When the system assigns the accounting date for the entity's transactions, the accounting date is equal to the effective date (trade date) of the transaction if the accounting period is open. Otherwise, the system uses the latest open accounting period.

  • Trade Date + 1 Business Day. Also called T + 1. When the system assigns the accounting date for the entity's transactions and the accounting period is open, it uses the period close rules to verify whether the processing event is eligible for an accounting date that occurs one business day after the trade date. For processing events included in the period close rules, it uses T + 1 to assign the accounting date, using the effective date plus one business to assign the accounting date. For processing events excluded from the period close rules, it uses the effective date (trade date) of the transaction to assign the accounting date. Otherwise, if the accounting period is not open, the system uses the latest open accounting period.

Accounting Date Rule Group

  • Yes. The system prevents the automated closing of month end accounting periods when using the Control Center.

Earnings/Amortization Fields
Anchor
EarningsAmortizationFields
EarningsAmortizationFields

Primary Amortization/Accretion Rule

3197

Specifies the amortization/accretion rule for the primary accounting basis that the system uses to process earnings. You can set up amortization/accretion rules for IFRS that amortize average cost portfolios on an effective yield basis. See Set Up an Entity/Accounting Basis for Amortization for more information.

NOTE: If you change the Primary Amortization Rule at the accounting basis level, the next time you process earnings the system creates a retrospective amortization rule calculation from the original settlement date of the trade (on all open lots). The system calculates the trade yield based on the primary amortization/accretion rule for the entity, so it is important to keep the values that exist on the entity and the primary accounting basis consistent. The system updates value changed on the entity panel via the primary accounting basis, but does not change entity values when you make the change through the Edit a Basis on a Portfolio panel.

Gain/Loss on Paydowns

1871

Specifies how the system handles the gain/loss on paydowns (repayment of part of an outstanding loan balance) for the entity/accounting basis. This option is used with factor based debt instruments such as mortgage backed securities. For more information, see Understand Mortgage-backed (MBS) and Asset-backed (ABS) Securities. Options include:

  • Gain/Loss. The system generates a gain/loss on a paydown. You can post the gain/loss to either a capital or general ledger account. The system displays the Paydown Gain Loss Account field.

  • Amortization. Default. The system records a gain/loss generated by a paydown as accelerated amortization.

Paydown Gain/Loss Account

4519

Determines whether the gain/loss is posted to the capital or income ledger account for the entity/accounting basis. This option appears when you set the Gain/Loss on Paydowns field to Gain/Loss. For more information, see Set Up Entities for MBS and ABS. Options include:

  • Capital. If the position is under 365 days of ownership, the system posts the gain/loss that occurs on factor payments to the Realized Gain on Investments Short Term (3006000111) and Realized Loss on Investments Short Term (3006000112) general ledger accounts. If the position is over 365 days of ownership, the system posts it to the Realized Gain on Investments (3006000101) and Realized Loss on Investments (3006000102) general ledger accounts.

  • Income. The system posts the gain/loss that occurs on factor payments to the Realized Loss on Investments (4004000102) and Realized Gain on Investments (4004000101) general ledger accounts.

Principal Loss on Paydown Processing Flag

2925

Allows you to select the method in which to process the principal loss on a paydown. The system uses the Principal Loss Factor field (tag 2926) value specified for the final factor to process the principal loss. For more information, see Set Up Entities for MBS and ABS. Options include:

  • Accelerated Amortization. The system reduces the cost of the position by the total reduction of shares. The offset to cost is accelerated amortization. This field is only allowed if the Gain/Loss on Paydowns field is set to Amortization.

  • Realized Gain/Loss. Default. The portion of the paydown resulting from the loss is processed at a price of zero. Eagle Accounting treats the portion of a paydown that is the result of a loss (write down) at a price of zero.

  • Share Adjustment. The system treats the portion of paydown that is a result of a loss (write down) as a share adjustment (increase or decrease) and does not adjust cost for the loss portion.

Coupon Spreading Period

637

Specifies how the system spreads income deferrals for the entity. This option allows Eagle Accounting to spread accruals of securities, which have a 30 in the numerator of the securities' day count calculation, over a Monthly period, the Coupon period of the security, or None at all. Options include:

  • Coupon. The system spreads the daily income over the coupon period. This option is used primarily for mutual funds that distribute income daily, for bonds that are set up as 30/360, and for months that do not contain 30 days. The entity spreads the interest for the entire pay period evenly throughout the period. This "smooths" the interest so that the same amount of income is accrued each calendar day. Without the spread method, the 31st day of a month would not have any accruals, and the 28th day of a 28-day month would have three days' worth of accruals:
    = (Par * Rate) / Payment Frequency / Actual Days in current pay period

  • Monthly. The system spreads daily income over the course of a month. A 30/360 bond defers a portion of its income for the 31st day of the month. The entity spreads the interest by the end of the modal month to a monthly 30/360 income amount:
    = (Par * Rate) / Payment Frequency / Actual days in the month 

  • None. Default. The system does not spread income deferrals. The entity does not process any coupon spreading.

Call Redemption Gain/ Loss Indicator

8916

Indicates whether the system processes gains/losses on calls, puts, and pre-refund corporate actions for the entity/primary accounting basis. This option is required if you process debt instruments. For more information, see About Entity Setup for Calls, Puts, and Pre-Refunds. Options include:

  • Gain/Loss. Default. The system redeems gains/losses that result from calls, puts, and pre-refund corporate actions.

  • Amortization. The system amortizes gains/losses that result from calls, puts, and pre-refund corporate actions. It applies an accelerated amortization method.

Sinking Fund Payment Redemption Gain/Loss Flag

9923

Specifies how the system processes gains and losses for sinking funds. Options include:

  • Treat Gain/Loss from Sinking Fund Payment as Gain/Loss. Default. The system treats the gain or loss created by the sinking fund payment as a gain/loss on both the subledger and general ledger.

  • Treat Gain/Loss from Sinking Fund Payment as Accelerated Amortization. The system treats the gain or loss created by the sinking fund payment as accelerated amortization on both the subledger and general ledger.

  • Capitalize Sinking Fund Payment. The system uses the sinking fund information in the schedule table to calculate amortization yield. The system also reduces the principal of the tax lot in a non-prorated way when processing the sinking fund payment so that no gain or loss occurs.

  • If Pro Rata Sinking Fund Capitalize Else Calculate Gain/Loss. The system looks to the value in the Pro Rata Sinking Fund Flag field specified for the security to determine processing. If the value for that field is Yes, the system capitalizes the sinking fund payments for the security. If the value is No, the system treats the gain/loss from the sinking fund payment as a gain/loss.

  • If Pro Rata Sinking Fund Capitalize Else Calculate Amortization. The system looks to the value in the Pro Rata Sinking Fund Flag field specified for the security to determine processing. If the value for that field is Yes, the system capitalizes the sinking fund payment for the security. If the value is No, the system treats the gain/loss from the sinking fund payment as accelerated amortization for the security.

Unrealized Gain/Loss Posting

5383

Indicates whether the system automatically posts unrealized gains/losses to the ledger during valuation. Options include:

  • Yes. Default. The system automatically posts unrealized gains/losses to the ledger during valuation. Select this value only if you are using Eagle's Pricing Center to post unrealized gains/losses.

  • No. The system does not automatically post unrealized gains/losses during valuation. You must post them manually.

Final Close Income Recognition Date

10070

Specifies how the system recognizes closed earnings, amortization, and OID (Original Issue Discount) amortization. It determines on what dates the system posts the income that occurs on a disposition transaction. Options include:

  • Settle Date. Default. The system recognizes closed earnings, amortization, and OID amortization through the settlement date of the close on a daily basis. Eagle Accounting recognizes the income daily between trade and settle date of the disposition.

  • Trade Date. The system recognizes closed earnings, amortization, and OID amortization as one lump sum on the trade date of the close. Eagle Accounting posts the income that normally occurs between trade date and settle date all on the accounting date trade date of the transaction.

Coupon Cash Entitlement Level

11852

Specifies the level at which the system drops coupons. Options include Position Level and Lot Level.

Essential Income Flag

12025

Enables essential and non-essential income reporting to track and report interest income separately from other non-taxable income. Options include Yes and No.

Accrual Convention Offset

12038

Specifies when the system begins earnings accruals. The method you select does not affect coupon payments because the number evens out on the last day and the coupon generated is the same. However, it does affect valuation and Eagle Performance calculations. You can use the Accrual Convention Offset Override field to override this setting at the trade level for Buy Sellback/Sell Buyback trades. For more information, Set Up Entities for Buy Sellback and Sell Buyback Trades. Options include:

  • Settlement Date. Default. The system accrues through the day prior to a coupon payment and then begins accruing for the new coupon on the coupon pay date.

  • Settlement Date + 1. The system begins earnings accruals using a one day lag. It accrues through the coupon date for the current period and pays it out that day, and then begins accruing for the new coupon on the coupon date plus one day so that the accrued income on the coupon date is zero. This method can apply to countries such as Canada.

ILB Gain/Loss Flag

3856

Indicates how Eagle Accounting treats the catch-up inflationary income that occurs at maturity for deflation protected Inflation linked bonds in the event that the index ratio at maturity is less than the ILB Min Index Ratio. For more information, see Understand Inflation Linked Bonds. Options include:

  • Maturity Gain/Loss and Daily Income. The catch-up inflationary income recognized as part of a deflation maturity to bring the security to the ILB minimum inflation index ratio is treated as realized gain/loss, and posts to a Gain Loss account. Daily Inflation linked Income is treated as Inflation Income, and posts to an inflation income general ledger account.

  • Both Income. Both the daily inflation income and the catch-up inflation income recognized as part of the deflation maturity are treated as inflation income. It posts to an Income general ledger account.

No Negative Income Flag

3857

Determines whether the system allows a tax lot to have negative life to date income. The option to prevent a tax lot from having life to date negative income is only available for Identified Cost tax lots. This field appears if you set the Cost Method field to a value of Identified. Options include:

  • Allow Negative Income. Default. The system recognizes negative income.

  • Do Not Allow Negative Income. The system does not recognize negative income. The system uses the following calculation to determine if there is negative income: Total Income LTD = Accrual LTD + Amortization LTD + ILB LTD + OID LTD. 
    If Total Income LTD is less than zero, the earnings process first looks to deferred ILB income if it exists. If Total Income is still less than zero, amortization income is deferred until income exceeds zero.

IO Security Amort/Income Flag

17387

Determines how the system recognizes amortization and accretion on the General Ledger for securities with a processing security type (PST) of Interest Only Factor Based Debt Instrument (DBFBIO). Options include:

  • Separate Income and Amort on Ledger. Bifurcates the income streams with amortization going to an amortization account and the interest going to investment interest income. Eagle Accounting posts amortization and accretion to the following general ledger account after a split: Amortization of Premium (4001000401), Investment Interest Income (4001000100).

  • Combine Income and Amort on Ledger. Default. Nets together amortization and accretion in the Investment Interest Income (4001000100) account on the general ledger.

  • Yes. Default. The system uses the STAR to PACE Direct Interface to transfer an entity's open positions and cash balances.

  • No. The system does not use the STAR to PACE Direct Interface to transfer an entity's open positions and cash balances.

Create Performance Cash Flows In PACE

5398

Indicates whether the STAR/PACE integration procedure processes cash currency and copies cash flow information for reporting by Eagle's Performance solution. Options include:

  • Yes. Default. The STAR/PACE integration procedure creates cash currency records for performance reporting. If you use Eagle Performance, select Yes.

  • No. The STAR/PACE integration procedure does not create cash currency records for performance reporting. If you do not use Eagle Performance, select No.

Store Cash Positions In PACE

5563

Indicates whether the STAR/PACE integration procedure exports the entity's cash positions from STAR to PACE. Options include:

  • Yes. Default. The STAR/PACE integration procedure exports the cash position records from STAR to PACE and stores the cash balances in the position detail table in the Eagle data warehouse. If you use Eagle Performance, select Yes.

  • No. The STAR/PACE integration procedure does not export cash position records from STAR to PACE. If your organization does not need currency balances, select this value to improve efficiency.

Value at Cost - No Price Found

11454

Specifies whether to use the cost value when no price is found for the selected entity/accounting basis. This setting does not affect futures contracts market values. If you run STAR to PACE Direct in Batch mode using the Recent price option (that is, you set the Price Date Switch to Recent in the Transfer Data - Batch panel), be aware that any recent price is used before the asset is priced at cost. Options include:

  • Yes. Use cost value. If no price is found, STAR to PACE Direct defaults the amortized cost into the PACE market value fields in the position detail and lot level position tables.

  • No. Do not use cost value. Use the default value of 0. The amortized cost is not used even if there is no pricing available.

Portfolio Turnover

Cash Sweep

4515

Indicates whether the system can perform cash sweeps into a short term investment fund (STIF) security for the entity. For more information, see Set Up Entities for Cash Sweeps. Options include:

  • No. Default. The system does not sweep the entity's uninvested cash balance into a Short Term Investment Fund (STIF) security. If you set the Position Cash Segregation Basis Indicator option to Yes, this option displays a value of No and is locked.

  • Yes. The system sweeps the entity's uninvested cash balance into a STIF security. If you select Yes, you must specify values for the Lookup STIF Issue Name and Lookup STIF Asset ID fields. You can sweep cash at the entity level if you do not use cash segregation.

Minimum Balance

16726

Specifies the amount of the minimum balance needed in order for the system to perform a cash sweep into a STIF for the entity. You must specify a positive number. If you specify a value and the cash balance is positive, the system sweeps cash into a STIF for the entity and creates cash sweep transactions only if the balance is equal to or greater than the minimum balance. If you specify a minimum balance and the cash balance is negative, sweep processing always occurs to cover that negative balance. For more information, see Set Up Entities for Cash Sweeps

Lookup STIF Issue Name

301

Specifies the issue name of the STIF security associated with cash sweeps for this entity. You can select a Short Term Investment Fund/Vehicle with a processing security type of STIF (DBSTST) or Mutual Fund (EQEQMF) for use with cash sweep processing. For Eagle Accounting to process the cash sweep, the STIF security’s asset currency must match the entity’s Account Base Currency (tag 86) value.

Determines the level for posting redemption fees. Options include:

  • Class. Default. Redemption fees are posted to the class level.

  • Fund. Class level redemption fees are automatically posted to the total fund level. Once posted, you can allocate the exit fee balance back to the class level, based on an existing allocation method, such as relative net assets.

Automated Dilution

640

Specifies whether to calculate dilution amounts for multiple class funds. The dilution calculation varies depending on whether the entity is a money market fund or fixed income/equity daily or non-daily distributing mutual fund. For money market funds, the Entity Type field must be set to MM (money market). For daily and non-daily distributing mutual fund entities, the Entity Type field must be set to MF (mutual fund). The current allocation rule is used to allocate the dilution amount across the classes. The dilution general ledger capital account is added to the existing rule used by the master fund and references the allocation method used to allocate the dilution amount across the share classes. Options include Yes and No (Default).

Equate NAVs

2909

Specifies whether the system calculates the divergence for equating the NAVs. Options include:

  • Yes. Default. Calculates the divergence for equating the NAVs. The system breaks down the equate NAV entry into a default dilution account.

  • No. Does not calculate the divergence for equating the NAVs.

  • Dynamic Reallocation. Calculates the divergence for equating the NAVs, and additionally allows a money market fund to dynamically reallocate its equate NAV ledger postings.

Specifies the data source for the Weighted Average Maturity report or Weighted Average Life report. Options include:

  • Market Value Base

  • Face Amount

  • Book Value Page

  • 2a7 Market Value

Wam Election

18059

Used when calculating Weighted Average Maturity (WAM) during the NAV Calculation process. For money market portfolio composite types, the system can use either a valid option or a NULL value to calculate WAM. For mutual fund portfolio composite types, you must specify an option other than None (N or NULL) for the system to calculate WAM.

This option identifies the source of the call, put, or step dates. It also indicates whether to include or exclude cash securities with a processing security type of Currency (CRCRCR). For additional information, see Set Up Master Fund Reference Data for WAM/WAL Calculation. Options include:

  • Call Schedule/Exclude Currency Holdings (CEXC). The system uses the Schedule table as the source for the next call, put, or step date to use for the WAM calculation. The Weighted Average Maturity report does not display CRCRCR securities in the report.

  • Override Table/Exclude Currency Holdings (OEXC). The system uses the report override rules as the source for call, put, or step dates to use for the WAM calculation. It uses report overrides that have a Date Type value of DEMAND - CALL, DEMAND - PUT, DEMAND - STEP, and DEMAND - REFUND to identify the calculation date, if available. The Weighted Average Maturity report does not display CRCRCR securities in the report.

  • Call Schedule/Include Currency Holdings (CINC). The system uses the Schedule table as the source for the next call, put, or step date to use for the WAM calculation. The Weighted Average Maturity report displays CRCRCR securities in the report. These holdings have a defaulted days to maturity set to 1 and the calculation date set to report date + 1.

  • Override Table/Include Currency Holdings (OINC). The system uses the report override rules as the source for call, put, or step dates to use for the WAM calculation. It uses report overrides that have a Date Type value of DEMAND - CALL, DEMAND - PUT, DEMAND - STEP, and DEMAND - REFUND to identify the calculation date, if available. The Weighted Average Maturity report displays CRCRCR securities in the report. These holdings have a defaulted days to maturity set to 1 and the calculation date set to report date + 1.

  • None (N or NULL). If you select None or do not specify a value for this option for a money market portfolio composite type, the system uses the hardcoded default election of Call Schedule and Exclude Currency Holdings during NAV calculation. If you select this value for a master fund that does not have a Money Market type, the system cannot calculate WAM for that master fund. The default value is NULL.

Wal Election

18060

Used when calculating Weighted Average Life (WAL) during the NAV Calculation process. For money market portfolio composite types, the system can use either a valid option or a NULL value to calculate WAL. For mutual fund portfolio composite types, you must specify an option other than None (N or NULL) for the system to calculate WAL.

This option identifies the source of the call, put, or step dates. It also indicates whether to include or exclude cash securities with a processing security type of Currency (CRCRCR). For additional information, see Set Up Master Fund Reference Data for WAM/WAL Calculation. Options include:

  • Call Schedule/Exclude Currency Holdings (CEXC). The system uses the Schedule table as the source for the next call, put, or step date to use for the WAL calculation. The Weighted Average Life report does not display CRCRCR securities in the report.

  • Override Table/Exclude Currency Holdings (OEXC). The system uses the report override rules as the source for call, put, or step dates to use for the WAL calculation. It uses report overrides that have a Date Type value of DEMAND - CALL, DEMAND - PUT, DEMAND - STEP, and DEMAND - REFUND to identify the calculation date, if available. The Weighted Average Life report does not display CRCRCR securities in the report.

  • Call Schedule/Include Currency Holdings (CINC). The system uses the Schedule table as the source for the next call, put, or step date to use for the WAL calculation. The Weighted Average Life report displays CRCRCR securities in the report. These holdings have a defaulted days to maturity set to 1 and the calculation date set to report date + 1.

  • Override Table/Include Currency Holdings (OINC). The system uses the report override rules as the source for call, put, or step dates to use for the WAL calculation. It uses report overrides that have a Date Type value of DEMAND - CALL, DEMAND - PUT, DEMAND - STEP, and DEMAND - REFUND to identify the calculation date, if available. The Weighted Average Life report displays CRCRCR securities in the report. These holdings have a defaulted days to maturity set to 1 and the calculation date set to report date + 1.

  • None (N or NULL). If you do not specify a value for this option for a money market portfolio composite type, the system uses the hardcoded default election of Call Schedule and Include Currency Holdings during NAV calculation. If you select None or a null value for a master fund that does not have a Money Market type, the system cannot calculate WAL for that master fund. The default value is NULL.

Short Term Floating Rate Security Treatment

18291

Allows you to use the next refix date in the calculation of days to maturity for the short term floating rate securities instead of 1 day. Options include:

  • Default (1 Day). The Weighted Average Maturity report returns days to maturity as 1.

Class Allocation Rule

3903

Specifies the class allocation rule that the system uses to allocate activity to the share classes.

If you set the NAV Election field to Intraday and select a value in the Intraday NAV Processing Rule, this field displays the selected intraday NAV processing rule. During processing, the system uses the class allocation rule associated with the sequence in the selected intraday NAV processing rule.

Intraday NAV Processing Rule

2301

Identifies the intraday NAV processing rule the master fund uses for intraday NAV processing. The system uses the ledger account range from the NAV processing rule along with the class allocation rule identified in the NAV processing rule to allocate balances to each share class for each NAV sequence for class allocations and NAV calculation as well as the original pricing source for each intraday NAV calculation. This field appears if you set the NAV Election field to a value of Intraday.

Master Feeder Fund Allocation Rule

1889

Specifies the master feeder allocation rule that the master fund uses if it is a master feeder fund. Master feeder allocation rules allow a master feeder fund to allocate income, expense, unrealized gains and losses, and realized gains and losses to the feeder fund. This field appears if you set the Master/Feeder Fund Type field to a value of Master Feeder. 

Sector Allocation Rule

3945

Specifies the sector allocation rule that the system uses to allocate activity to a sector.

Performance Share Profile - Expenses and Distributions

636

Specifies the ledger profile that contains expense and distribution general ledger accounts that the system uses to calculate performance shares for the sectors. This process calculates performance NAVs on sectors by capitalizing expenses and distributions.

Performance Share Profile – Reinvestments

3923

Specifies the ledger profile that contains reinvestment general ledger accounts that the system uses to calculate performance shares for the sectors. This process calculates performance NAVs on sectors by capitalizing reinvestments.

Cash Equiv Allocation

4524

 Indicates whether the fund uses the cash equivalent allocation process to calculate a total cash balance for all of the sectors in a multi-sector fund for allocation into a short-term overnight investment. Options include:

  • Yes. If you select Yes, the Cash Equiv Currency field becomes available.

  • No. The fund does not use the cash equivalent allocation process to calculate a total cash balance for all sectors in a multi-sector fund.

Cash Equiv Currency

4525

Specifies the currency of the cash balance of the master fund that is swept into the repo. This option is typically set to the entity's base currency. This option is required if you set Cash Equiv Allocation to Yes.

Allocate Master Fund Cash Activity to Sectors

12069

Determines whether you allow the system to transfer cash activity residing at the master fund level to the master fund's associated sector entities. The actual transfer of the cash activity facilitates accurate reporting and mutual fund performance calculations at the sector level. The system allocates cash to sectors during sector allocation when you use the Post Sector Allocation Entries panel. Options include:

  • Yes. Allow cash allocation to sectors. The system uses the allocation rule of the receivable or payable account that is being relieved and allocates each master fund cash settlement individually. If the system cannot identify the account you are relieving in your allocation rule, it defaults to the cash account's allocation ratio.

  • No. Default. Do not allow cash allocation to sectors.

FOF Allocation Rule

11524

Determines how to perform fund of fund (FOF) allocations for the master fund. Fund of funds processing enables you to allocate a master fund’s cash inflows and outflows across its underlying fund investments. The available allocation methods use the market value of its underlying funds. The investment ownership in each fund of fund is calculated by dividing each underlying security’s market value to the total market value of all underlying securities. Given the nature of the FOF fund structure, it is necessary to allocate the master fund’s cash inflows and outflows across the underlying funds, utilizing set allocation ratios.

Share Class Fields
Anchor

Load Charge

5165

Specifies the load charge for the share class.

Load Effective Date

5166

Specifies the effective date of the load charge.

Minimum Yield

4992

Indicates the minimum yield that a daily distributing master fund entity must obtain. The system requires a minimum yield to process expense reimbursements. If the net investment income (NII) process calculates a yield below this threshold, it recalculates the distribution amount to equal this threshold. The system automatically posts the difference to a dividend expense reimbursement account. The minimum yield is reported as a percentage; however, you must enter it as a numerical value. You can also enter a value for this field using the Create Entity Share Class Information panel.

Share Class Hedging

18045

Determines if the share class elects share class hedging. Share class hedging allows a share class to have exposure to assets/securities denominated in a foreign currency without the associated currency risk of the base currency of the fund. A share class can elect to use share class hedging in order to allow Eagle Accounting to allocate the currency gain/loss directly to the hedge class. Options include: 

  • Yes. The share class is eligible to process share class hedging. Realized gain-loss on capital stock settlements is fully allocated to the hedge share class. The system posts any calculated gains or losses associated with hedge share classes directly to that share class.

  • No. Default. The share class is not eligible to process share class hedging. Realized gain-loss on capital stock settlements is not fully allocated to the hedge share class. The system posts any calculated gains or losses associated with hedge share classes to the total fund to be allocated to all share classes within the entity.

  • Net Investment Income. Identifies the daily distribution as net investment income. The system distributes all of the entity's net income daily. If you select this option, the Fixed/NII Set Rate Distribution Shares, Net Investment Income Rule, Late Activity Distribution Adjustment, Distribution Absorption Method, and Net Investment Income Split Method fields become available.

  • No Processing. Identifies the daily distribution as needing no processing.

  • Set Rate. Identifies the daily distribution as a set rate. The system calculates and reports a set distribution rate for each class of a multi class fund based on the base class rate that is established when you set up set rate processing. If you select this option, the Fixed/NII Set Rate Distribution Shares becomes available. Use this field to enter the distribution share type for the set rate.

  • Preferred Stock Distributions. Identifies the daily distribution as a preferred stock distribution when you track preferred shares ownership for closed-end funds. To use this option, you must first set the Preferred Shares Processing field to Yes. The Daily Distribution Method option then displays a value of Preferred Stock Distributions, and you cannot change it.

For example, if you set the Daily Distribution Method field to Net Investment Income and you set this field to Yes, you have the option of reversing late activity and reprocessing net investment income to include late distribution activity. For more information, see Understand NII Distribution Adjustments. Options include Yes and No.

Distribution Absorption Method

4957

Determines how to allocate an income distribution when it falls under a defined threshold. Options include:

  • Waterfall Waiver. Allocates any distribution amount that falls below a minimum yield threshold using a waterfall waiver method to get that share class's distribution amount up to the target distribution yield. You can use the Minimum Yield field (tag 4992) on the Create Entity Share Class Information panel to specify the minimum yield. You can select this option if you set the Special Waiver Processing field to Waterfall Waiver Daily or Waterfall Waiver FYTD.

  • Expense Reimbursement. Allocates any distribution amount that falls below a minimum yield threshold using an expense reimbursement account to get that share class's distribution amount up to the target distribution yield. You can use the Minimum Yield field (tag 4992) on the Create Entity Share Class Information panel to specify the minimum yield. 

  • Class Allocation. Allocates a share class's negative distribution by spreading it across the remaining positive classes based on a weighted share allocation percentage. After the negative distribution is reallocated, the ending result for that negative class is a zero distribution. The threshold for this method is hard coded to zero.

  • Default - None. Default. No reallocation is made. The system posts the distribution amount as calculated.

Net Investment Income Split Method

5045

Determines the method to use for split dividend processing. Split dividend processing allows you to split mil rates when ex-dates occur on non business dates. This option appears if you set the Daily Distribution Method field to a value of Net Investment Income. You can select a method if you set the Non Business Day Processing field (tag 3907) to a value of Process with Previous Business Day. If you use split dividend processing, you must add a distribution schedule that identifies the ex-dates. Options include:

  • Default - None. Default. Indicates that you do not want split dividend processing to occur for an entity.

  • Mid-Month Split. Splits the mil rates based on user defined split dividend ex-dates, and is used if an entity's split dividend ex-date occurs on any calendar date other than the last calendar date of the month.

  • Pre Ex-Date Split. Allows you to calculate an estimated mil rate for post ex-date on a split dividend ex-date.

  • Post Ex-Date Split. Allows you to calculate a post ex-date mil rate with ex-date shares for a post ex-date.

  • Post Ex-Date Reinvestment Split. Allows you to calculate a post ex-date mil rate with ex-date shares for a post ex-date, and includes reinvestment shares from post ex-date in the post ex-date calculation.

Periodic Distribution Rule

2776

Identifies the periodic distribution rule that applies to the election of capital/income processing. This option is required if you set Capital/Income Processing field to Yes.

This field appears if you set the Daily Distribution Method to Net Investment Income, set Special Waiver Processing to Waterfall Waiver Daily or to Waterfall Waiver FYTD, and set the Distribution Absorption Method field to Waterfall Waiver. 

Expense Reimbursement Tier Rule

5038

Identifies the expense reimbursement tier rule. An expense reimbursement tier rule allows a fund to waive expenses to separate waiver accounts if expenses exceed income in a fund that elects to fully distribute net investment income (NII). If you do not specify an expense reimbursement tier rule, the system reimburses expenses to one default ledger account for fund dividend expense reimbursement if expenses exceed income in a fund that elects to fully distribute net investment income. This option appears if you set the Distribution Absorption Method field to a value of Expense Reimbursement. For more information, see Manage NII Expense Reimbursement Rules.

Mutual Fund Yield Divisor

5040

Specifies the yield divisor used to calculate a yield for mutual funds that use net investment income (NII) distribution processing. Options include:

3911

Indicates whether the system accrues interest for tax withholding and reclaims. For more information, see Manage Tax Withholding and Reclaim Processing. Options include:

  • Yes. The system accrues interest for tax withholdings and reclaims on a daily basis. If you select Yes, you cannot set the Tax Accounting Method field to Gross Income because the Gross Income method ignores all withholding tax on dividends and coupons.

  • No. The system does not accrue interest for tax withholdings and reclaims on a daily basis. Instead, tax withholdings and reclaims are calculated on the coupon payment date.

Tax Accounting Method

3912

Specifies how the system processes tax withholdings and reclaims on dividends and other interest transactions. For more information, see Tax Accounting Method Examples. Options include:

  • Gross Income Method. Default. The system ignores any withholding tax on dividends or coupon entitlements, even if applicable tax rates are set up in tax tables. The gross amount of the dividend or coupon entitlement is posted as a receivable. The receivable is then relieved against the cash receipt on the coupon or dividend pay date. You cannot select this value if you set Accrue Interest Tax Indicator field to Yes.

  • Gross Liability Method. The system generates both a receivable and a payable amount for the withholding tax. A receivable is created at the net amount of the dividend or coupon entitlement less the amount of the reclaim. A separate receivable is created for the reclaim amount, if any. A payable is also created for the unrecoverable tax amount (tax expense). The system relieves both the payable and receivable against the cash receipt on the coupon or dividend pay date.

  • Net Method. The system generates a receivable at the net income amount (gross income less withholding tax) and a separate receivable for the reclaim amount, if any. The payable for the tax expense is not created.

Entity Tax Type

3929

Defines the entity's tax status and allows you to group entities for tax accounting purposes. The system uses this value to calculate tax withholding and tax reclaim rates. You can group entities by entity tax type, entity tax qualifier, or both. Options for this field are user defined. The system is installed with a set of values for this field. You can add additional values for this field for the ENTITY TAX TYPE code category under the source Eagle PACE using the Codes workspace. For more information, see Manage Tax Withholding and Reclaim Processing.

Note that Eagle Accounting does provide an All option in the Entity Tax Type code value as part of the default script, so that it can be used as a wild card in the Global Tax table. However, you should not use the All option in the entity setup, because it limits your institution's ability to have extremely flexible tax nomenclature or structure.

Entity Tax Qualifier

3930

Defines the entity's tax status and allows you to group entities for tax reporting purposes. The system uses this value field to calculate tax withholding and tax reclaim rates. You can group entities by entity tax type, entity tax qualifier, or by both. Options for this field are user defined. The system is installed with a set of values for this field. You can add additional code values for this field using the Codes workspace for the ETAX QUALIFIER code category under the source Eagle PACE. This option is required if you set Tax Accounting Method to Gross Liability Method or Net Method. For more information, see Manage Tax Withholding and Reclaim Processing.

Tax Exempt Processing Flag

4948

Determines whether income is posted to taxable or tax exempt general ledger accounts. This field works with the Federal Tax Indicator field (tag 1545), which exists at the security level. The Tax Exempt Processing Flag field impacts the Net Investment Income (NII) process when calculating the mixed expense taxable allocation percentage. If this field set to Yes, the net distributable income is processed against tax exempt income and expenses. Options include:

  • Yes. If the security level Federal Tax Indicator field is set to No, the system posts the income to tax exempt general ledger accounts. If the security level Federal Tax Indicator field is set to Yes, the system posts the income to taxable general ledger accounts.

  • No. The system posts the income to taxable general ledger accounts.

Corporate Action Fields

  • Do Not Allocate Cost. The system does not allocate a percentage of the cost of the original security to the rights issue.

  • Calculate 15 Rule. The system determines whether to allocate cost to the rights issue based on the market value. If the market value of the rights issue is more than 15% of the cost of the original security, the cost is allocated to the rights issue. If the market value of the rights issue is less than 15% of the cost of the original security, the cost is not allocated to the rights issue.

Treatment Of Fractional Shares Override

8251

Specifies how the system treats fractional shares. A fractional share is less than a single share of stock. It often results from stock splits, stock dividends, and similar corporate action events. The value in this field overrides the fractional shares value on corporate action announcement panels. Options include:

  • Round Down. The system rounds the fractional share entitlement down to zero decimals. No fractional shares are created.

  • Post Fractional Shares. The system posts the fractional share entitlement, calculating the amount to two decimal places.

  • Round Up. The system rounds the fractional share entitlement up to the next whole number. No fractional shares are created.

  • European. The system calculates the fractional share entitlement as follows: 1. Divides the position by the divisor, 2. Drops the decimals on the number that is calculated, 3. Multiplies the whole number by the multiplier.

  • Round to Nearest Whole Share. The system rounds the fractional shares to the nearest number of whole shares. If the calculated entitlement is greater than or equal to 0.50, the system rounds the fractional shares up to the next whole share. If the calculated entitlement is less than or equal to 0.49, the system drops the fractional shares.

Corporate Action FX Rule

9705

Specifies the foreign exchange rate that the system uses for posting corporate actions. Options include:

Limit Gain Loss Eligible

2487

Determines if gain loss processing occurs for corporate actions for certain cash/stock mergers. Requires the Limit Gain Loss Indicator field to be set to Yes on the corporate actions panel to be in effect. When applicable, at the lot level, the gain associated with these mergers is the lesser of the cash amount or the gain to be recognized had the entire transaction been taxable. If the result is a loss, it is disallowed. The disallowed component is then treated as a return of capital. In the case of certain taxable mergers, any loss that is generated at the lot level is disallowed. There are U.S. tax provisions that limit the amount of reportable gains and losses for certain mergers with taxable components. Options include:

  • No. No gain loss processing for corporate actions.
