After you set up the share classes that elect to process share class hedging and set up sector exclusions, you can book and settle foreign capital stock for hedge share classes.
Book Foreign Capital Stock for Hedge Share Classes
In the Book Non Base Capital Stock panel, you can book foreign capital stock for hedge share classes.
Eagle Accounting assumes that each share class only utilizes one non-base currency to use for hedge purposes. This means that if the forward currency contracts for the hedge share class are BZD/USD, then you also book capital stock for the hedge share class in BZD currency (assuming the base currency of the entity is USD).
To book a transaction for foreign capital stock for hedge share classes:
In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Fund Accounting > Cap Stock > Transactions > Book Non Base Capital Stock.
You see the Book Non Base Capital Stock panel.In the Entity ID or Entity Name fields, enter the fund for the transaction.
In this example, you select fund FX45. You see the base currency for the entity in the Account Currency field. It is USD in this example.In the Share Class field, select the share class.

Settle Foreign Capital Stock for Hedge Share Classes
In the Settle Capstock panel, you can settle the transaction for foreign capital stock for hedge share classes. When a share class settles a non base capital stock subscription or redemption and the Share Class Hedging election is Yes, then the gain/losses from that settlement are fully allocated to the hedge share class.

The system passes the Share Class Hedging field value in on the settlement event. Currency gain losses are posted directly to the hedge share class rather than the total fund to be allocated to all share classes of the entity.
In the following example, notice that you are settling a transaction for entity FX023 and share class G, where the Share Class Hedging field has a value of Y.
The following figure for this example shows the Accounting Journal report, where you can see the trade date to settlement date gain was fully allocated to share class G, rather than being allocated across all classes within the entity.
