A security processing rule defines a set of income characteristics that you can apply to a security. It controls the income processing needed for instruments such as redeemable preferred stock. If you want to amortize redeemable preferred stock, you must create a security processing rule. You can also set up security processing rules to ensure that certain securities recognize settlement-based dividend income when you set up an accounting basis to recognize cash-based dividend income.
After you define the security processing rule, you can assign this rule at the security level if the rule applies to the security across all entities/accounting bases. Otherwise, you can assign this rule to an entity a basis processing rule that you then assign at the portfolio/basis level.
