Definition

Displays the amount of the absolute difference of the total cash flows from source and target loans, with and without a capital transfer.

Use

The capital transfer determines a total cash flow by adding the payment amounts from source and target loans, separated according to flow type and payment date.

A total cash flow is determined for both cases, with and without capital transfer.

The system then calculates the difference between the two cash flows, by adding the differences between the cash flow with the capital transfer and the cash flow without capital transfer, without taking the +/- sign into account.

In this way the absolute difference also displays the difference amountsin case these have been cleared by opposing +/- signs.

You can use the absolute difference to check whether the payment behavior remained constant in both source and target loan in spite of the capital transfer.

Dependencies

The amount of the absolute difference is only an indicator that you can use to identify and analyze any different payment behavior. A calculation function to eliminate the difference is not supported.
