    3. The Create Reservation: Basic Data screen appears.

  3. The upper part of the screen contains the data entered in the initial screen and the loan number assigned by the system. In the lower part of the screen, you enter the following basic data:
    1. Issuer and Counterparty

      2. You can assign the business partners for the borrower’s note loan to the reservation by entering the partner name.
