Manage Accrual Factors in Issue Viewer

In Issue Viewer, you can add, change, delete, and list accrual factors.

Accounting Center includes Issue Viewer, Eagle's legacy security master tool that allows you to perform a variety of security master related functions. Reference Data Center (RDC), which replaces Issue Viewer, along with other legacy data management tools, is Eagle's current and more powerful solution for centralizing and managing security reference data. Eagle recommends that you use RDC to set up and manage accrual factors when you use Eagle Accounting, but continues to provide access to Issue Viewer while existing clients transition to RDC.
