Procedure documentationEdit Clearing Group Box

 

In the Clearing group box on the Clearing tab page, you edit the fields for a condition that belong to date category 220020 Clearing.

In this group box you define the date update for the clearing date of a repayment condition. The clearing date is the date from which the repayment amount is used in the interest calculation.

You specify the first clearing date. All further clearing dates are based on the time periods that you set up. The system adds the repetition unit to the first clearing date.

Clearing can always take place periodically. You can also explicitly define individual dates within the calendar year on which clearing takes place. This means you have the following options for the date update:

  • Periodic date update

  • Date update with annual set of dates

Prerequisites

You have entered the value Regular Clearing on the Calculation tab page in the Clearing field. You can then make entries on the Clearing tab page.

Procedure

You can make the following settings:

  • You can enter a working day shift for the future periodic dates.

    The working day shift specifies whether, and by how many days, the determined date is to be shifted if it falls on a Sunday or a public holiday.

    For more information, see Shifting Dates

  • You can enter up to five calendars for the working day shift.

    If you enter the working day shift, enter at least one calendar for this.

    Note Note

    The system uses the calendars that you enter to calculate a working day based on the working day shift. A working day must be a working day in all the calendars.

    End of the note.
Periodic date update

If the repayment amount is to be cleared periodically, enter Periodic in the Frequency Category field.

You can make the following settings:

  1. Enter the frequency in the Repetition Period und Repetition Unit fields.

  2. Enter the first clearing day.

  3. You can flag the start date as being inclusive. This makes the clearing date inclusive in all periods.

  4. You can enter a number of days to postpone the clearing date or bring it forward (negative plus/minus sign).

  5. Alternatively, you can enter a reference date for the start date. This means that the clearing is adapted, for example, to the contract start or the fixing start date.

  6. You can enter a one-time shift for the reference date.

  7. You can enter one or more key days on which the periodic clearing is to take place. If you enter 31, each month is set to the last day of the month.

    Example Example

    The start date is on 01/28/2008 if the update is periodic, and the frequency is monthly.

    If you enter 28 for the key day, the system always updates the date on the 28th of the month. 02/28/2008, 03/28/2008, 04/27/2008, 05/28/2008 and so on would then follow.

    If you enter 31 for the key day, the system always updates the date on the last day of the month. 02/29/2008, 03/30/2008, 04/30/2008, 05/31/2008 and so on would then follow.

    End of the example.

  8. If you enter the working day shift, you can select the Fixed Periods checkbox. The system then updates the data with fixed periods. This means that if a date is moved due to a working day shift, the moved date is the starting point for continued update.

Date update with annual set of dates

To clear the repayment amount on particular dates during the calendar year, enter Annual Block of Dates in the Frequency Category field.

You can make the following settings:

  1. Enter the first clearing day.

  2. You can flag the start date as being inclusive. This makes the clearing date inclusive in all periods.

  3. You can enter a key day on which the periodic clearing is to take place. If you enter 31, each month is set to the last day of the month.

    Example Example

    You entered start date 01/01/2007 and 02/28 in the annual block of dates.

    If you enter 28 for the key day, the system annually updates the date on 02/28. 02/28/2007, 02/28/2008 and so on would follow.

    If you enter 31 for the key day, the system annually updates the date on the last day of the month. 02/28/2007, 02/29/2008, 02/28/2009 and so on would follow.

    End of the example.

  4. Enter at least one date in the Annual Block of Dates.

Result

You have defined the date update for the clearing date.
