In certain Buy and Receive and Buy transaction panels, you can manually book a trade for a debt transaction associated with expected credit losses (ECL) when you use IFRS. You can book ECL against domestic or foreign assets to capture all asset-level accounting.

You can define ECL information in the following trade panels for debt securities with expected credit losses:

Each of panels listed includes the Expected Credit Loss Information fields specific to long transactions on debt securities associated with expected credit loss. These fields can apply to a lot that an accounting basis with the ECL Method set to Non-US Treatment with regulatory categories of FVOCI/AC. This ECL method applies to IFRS.

Note that while any expected credit losses entered on a trade panel are not basis specific, the system only applies credit losses to the accounting basis/regulatory category combinations that qualify for ECL. Accounting basis/regulatory category combinations that qualify for ECL include accounting bases of IFRS where the ECL Method is set to Non-US Treatment with regulatory categories of FVOCI/AC, or accounting bases of GAAP where the ECL Method is set to US Treatment with regulatory categories of AFS/HTM for GAAP.  Also, the system stores any Expected Credit Loss Stage election only on the IFRS basis, even if the portfolio is multi-basis and IFRS is not the primary accounting basis.

The following figure shows the Open Debt Bond panel’s Expected Credit Loss Information fields.
