Original Trade Ticket Number

Holding Term

Specifies the holding term for the trade based on the number of days between the original acquisition date (tag 216) and the maturity date (tag 35) on the lot. If you use ledger reporting based on ledger granularity rules to break out accounts by holding term, the system uses this value to identify the holding term for trades related to bonds and preferred stocks. Eagle Accounting's core transaction processing calculates the holding term for you, but you can manually override the value displayed in this field. Eagle Insurance clients that use ledger granularity rules have the system calculate the holding term based on the schedule associated with a lot. Options include:

  • Short Term. Identifies a short term holding. If the Holding Term Method field (tag 11479) in the trade's accounting basis has a value of 90 days, a short term holding term is 91 days to a year. If the Holding Term Method field has a value of 3 months, a short term holding term is 3 full months to a year.

  • Cash Equivalent. Identifies a cash equivalent holding. If the Holding Term Method field (tag 11479) in the trade's accounting basis has a value of 90 days, a cash equivalent holding term is 90 days or less. If the Holding Term Method field has a value of 3 months, a cash equivalent holding term is 3 full months or less.

If you now hold the trade in an entity/accounting basis with the new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) regulatory category of Fair Value Profit Loss (FVPL) but previously held the trade in an entity/accounting basis with the old regulatory category of Fair Value Option (FVO) or Held for Trading (HFT), you can identify the old regulatory category specified for the trade at the entity/accounting basis level. You can specify a value for reporting purposes only. Options include:

  • Fair Value Option. Indicates the trade was previously held in a regulatory category of Fair Value Option, used for instruments managed on a fair value basis.

  • Held for Trading. Indicates the trade was previously held in a regulatory category of Held for Trading, used for instruments held with the intent of selling them.
