Coupon information from coupon Using the Coupon pushbutton, you enter the date the next coupon will be delivered. Only use this setting if the next coupon to be delivered is the next but one coupon or an even later one. The accrued interest is calculated accordingly. No coupon delivery The system generates an accrued interest flow as well as flows via the interest payments whose coupons will not be delivered.
