Post Preferred Distributions

In the Post Preferred Distributions panel, you can post the accounting entries associated with preferred shares distributions. You can process distributions for all series or by an individual series.

To post a preferred shares distribution:

1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Fund Accounting > Distributions > Preferred Distributions > Post Preferred Distributions.
   You see the Post Preferred Distributions panel.
2. In the Entity ID and Entity Name fields, specify the master fund entity identifier or the master fund entity name.
   You must select an entity eligible for preferred shares processing that has Preferred Stock Distributions specified as the Daily Distribution Method value.
3. In the Series Code field, indicate whether to post entries for preferred shares distributions associated with all share series or for a single share series.
   Options include:
   –  All Series. Default. Include all share series for the selected master fund.
   –  Individual Series. Include a single share series for the selected master fund that you identify in the Share Series field.
4. In the Share Series field, select the share series code for which to post accounting entries.
   This field appears if you set the Series Code field to a value of Individual Series. You can change the default value of All to a share class code for the selected master fund. When you select a code, you see the long descriptions for that code in the Share Series Name field.
5. In the Distribution Through Date field, specify the distribution through date.
6. In the Accounting Date field, specify the accounting date. 
   This date has a default value of the current date. When you select a value, the system displays the Monthly Accounting Date field value.
7. Click Submit.
