Gain Loss Calculation

The Gain Loss Calculation business rule is a system rule that is located in the Global Explorer tab in the Business Rules | System folder. 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 processed on a date that is a few 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 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.

Please see the V9 XML Configuration topic in this help system for a list of all elements, attributes and values needed for configuration. View Business Rules | System Rules | GainLossCalculation.
