This topic provides systematic instructions on specifying covenant details.
Covenants are maintained in Covenants domain under Covenant Master maintenance. Applicable covenants for a collateral category are linked in collateral category maintenance. During collateral maintenance, category level linked covenants are defaulted/populated based on category selected and user can retain or remove any or all these covenants. In case user wants to add covenants other than category covenants, same can be fetched from covenants maintenance and linked in collateral maintenance.

Once the covenant start date, end date, frequency and target values are captured, on clicking the Generate button, schedule will be generated for the entire period storing target values to be tracked for the particular schedule.
