Manage Debt Transactions for Expected Credit Losses

In certain Receive and Buy transaction panels, you can manually book a trade for a debt transaction associated with expected credit losses (ECL). You can book ECL against domestic or foreign assets to capture all asset-level accounting. And you can book ECL against foreign assets where the accounting system properly differentiates between write-up and write-down and account for them differently to properly capture variations in FX rate.

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

Open Debt Bond. For detailed information, see Book Trades for Debt Bonds.
Open Discount Bond (LT/ST). For detailed information, see Book Trades for Discount Bonds.
Open Inflation Linked Bond. For detailed information, see Book Trades for ILBs.
Open MBS/ABS/IO/PO. For detailed information, see Book Trades for MBSs.
Open TBA. For detailed information, see Book Trades for TBAs.
Receive Security. For detailed information, see Process a Manual Receive and Deliver Transaction.
