Process Manual Cash Settlements

In the Multiple Settlements panel, you can manually settle cash activity, reverse a settled cash transaction, and make adjustments to the actual settlement date and the amount to be settled. You can query by date range for one entity as well as select a specific security.

The Settle Trade Indicator field on the Cash Contribution, Cash Withdrawal, Post Miscellaneous Income, and Post Miscellaneous Expense panels determines whether the system settles the cash activity automatically or manually. To settle cash activity manually, set the Settle Trade Indicator field to No.

Example - Manual Cash Settlement

The Multiple Manual Settlements panel allows you to query by a date range for one entity. You can also enter a specific security.

The following example shows data you enter in the Multiple Manual Settlements panel. 

Enter the following information:

  • Entity ID or Entity Name. Select the specific security for which you want to settle cash activity. You can enter the Primary Asset ID, Issue Name, or Symbol to query for a security.
  • Investment Type. Query only for unsettled cash activities by specific investment type.
  • Target Event ID. Query specifically for a single cash item if the unsettled cash was processed with a specific system event identifier.
  • Event Type. Query based on the specific event type (Buy, Sell, Spot, Coupon, Cash Div).
  • Category. Query based on the activity category (Trade Only, Income Only, Trade and Income).
  • Broker Name / Broker Code. Query based on a specific Broker.
  • Trade Ticket Number. Query specifically for a single cash item if the unsettled cash was processed with a specific trade ticket number/identifier.
  • Date Range. Default for the Beginning Settle Date field is January 1 of the current fiscal year and default for the Ending Settle Date field is the current system date. These dates can be overridden.

Click Submit to execute the query for all unsettled cash records based on the entered parameters. In the Show All tab, you see the cash activity items.

You can select only the specific cash activity items that you want to settle. To select a record to be settled, click the box for the row in the Select column.



When you make a selection, the Select settlement record button becomes enabled. To manually settle the selected record, click the Select settlement record button to continue.

The panel refreshes and displays the individual items that you selected in the previous tab. On this tab, you can change the amount settled or accounting date.

In the above example, you could modify the Local Settlement Amount field value to 100.00. The Write off remaining amount field on this panel asks if you wish to write-off the remaining unsettled amount from the item, or leave the remainder in receivable/payable status.

To complete the settlement of the items, click Submit. After the event completes, click the Close button to return to the Multiple Settlements panel query selection.

You can view the settled activity from the Cash Journal by changing the Report View field value (from the query selection) to SETTLED, which then displays the 111.00 MISCINC that was settled.

You can also view the results of the cash settlement in Position Viewer.

A cash position is not created in the system until the cash activity actually settles. In this example, there is a 888.00 disbursement, but the cash position Units column value is shown as 1221.00. This occurs because the 888.00 has not settled whereas the 1221.00 has settled.
