Adjust the Commitment for Private Equity

In the Commitment Adjustment/Capital Call panel, after you book the initial position for private equity, you can adjust the commitment amount you initially set. When you select the Additonal Commitment transaction (LPCOMMIT event), you can adjust only the commitment amount; there are no cash or ledger entries associated with this task. This LPCOMMIT event is part of the Capital Based Fund Investment workflow when you set up a private equity security with a processing security type of Capital Based Fund Investment (EQCBFI).

WRITERS NOTE: we say there are no cash or ledger entries, but you can specify a Cash Local Amount. Did something change?

You can book an additional commitment transaction for private equity to adjust the commitment amount.
