In this IMG activity, you create rounding rules, for example for calculating accrued interest for purchases and/or sales.
You can select one of these rules when you enter the purchase or sale of a bond in the system. Moreover, you have the option of defining a rounding rule in the class data. This then appears as a default value when you enter a transaction.
Activities
Choose 'New Entries'.
Enter a short name and a long name for the rule.
In the rounding rule area, enter the following:
In the 'Round' field, enter how you want to round. You can choose from three alternatives:
- Round down: The system always rounds down
- Round up: The system always rounds up
- Round to nearest whole number: From 5 onwards, the system rounds up; up to 5, the system rounds down
In the 'Rounding unit' field, you specify the number of decimal places to which rounding is to be performed.
In the 'Base unit', field, you specify for which amount you want to calculate.
Example:
If you enter 100 in this field, the accrued interest is calculated for the nominal amount of 100 of the bond and the rounding is performed according to the rule. The result is then translated to the actual nominal amount of the purchase/sale.
