# GainLossCalculation

## Description

Gain/Loss is the gain or loss incurred by a company when a financial activity buys and/or sells variable fund units. This business rule determines whether or not the system should calculate gain/loss for the back dated transactions. For example, if a transaction was processed on a date that is a couple of days after the effective date of the transaction, the difference in price would be calculated as a gain or loss to the company.

There are two columns in the AsValuation table that are used to store gain/loss information:

- ValuationGainLoss - ValuationGainLoss is populated during forward activity processing.

- GainLossOnShadow - GainLossOnShadow is populated when a financial activity is reversed.
