You can bypass the earnings process, along with other types of accounting processing, to prevent rollback and replay for trades during transaction processing. Bypassing this accounting processing can improve system performance if you process large numbers of TBA allocations.

About Bypassing Accounting Processing for TBA Allocations

You can bypass specific types of accounting processing during rollback and replay in order to improve system performance for TBA allocations. Backdated trade processing, specifically with mortgage-backed type positions such as TBAs, can take a significant amount of time to process due to the amount of rollback/replay. The backdated activity can often take several hours to complete, which not only takes a significant amount of system resources to process but can delay other client-related activity as well. TBA allocations, for example, can lead to hundreds of backdated trades that rollback and replay months of earnings and paydowns for every transaction. Instead of doing rollback/replay after every trade, Eagle Accounting allows you to perform that rollback and replay once, after all activity has been posted.

Set Up Bypass of Accounting Processing

You can set the Bypass Earnings Replay (tag 11793) option to a value of A on transactions to have Eagle Accounting bypass the earnings replay during the rollback/replay process. This tag is appended onto all transaction activity. The rollback still occurs, but no income or trades replay ensues, which significantly improves system performance while posting backdated transaction activity. This setting is used mainly during TBA allocation, because the trade activity involved many backdated trades which rolled back earnings and factors each time during every trade. 

When you set the Bypass Earnings Replay (tag 11793) option to a value of A, during transaction processing, the system bypasses the following accounting functions in addition to earnings:

  • OpenWashSaleAdj
  • CloseWashSaleAdj
  • accrueMaster
  • LedgerPosting_Generate_DRCR
  • supplementEventWithEarnProperty
  • ledgerPeriodForwardBackward
  • calcVariationMargin
  • CalculateYield
  • CalcTradedInterest
  • setConvBond
  • supplementEventWithYieldProperty
  • LedgerPosting_Generate_DRCR_ByRow
  • CalcTipsIndexRatio
  • GetPaydownGainloss
  • SetIncomeRecognitionTag

Not included in this list is the write cursor to the STAR to PACE Delta trigger log. The system also bypasses this log to increase processing speeds. After you run the REACCRUE event, the system populates the STAR to PACE Delta trigger log and subsequently updates the Eagle data warehouse.
