You can set up accounting rules for amortization/accretion rules and unrealized gain/loss (URGL) rules. An accounting rule includes a rule name and description and indicates whether the rule applies to amortization/accretion or URGL rules. Amortization/accretion rules specify how the system amortizes the securities held by the entity. A URGL rule establishes the proper treatment of unrealized market and currency gains/losses.
