6.2.3.2 Specify the Status Change Details for Discount Accrual

It would help if you defined the manner in which Discount Accrual is processed in the event of status changes. Maintain the following details as part of status maintenance for bills:
  • Whether Discount Accruals should be stopped or reversed.
  • The transfer GLs for Discount Accrual
Specify the following roles as part of the transfer GLs
Accounting Role Description
EIMDISCRIA Effective Interest Based Discount To Be Accrued
EIMDISCINC Effective Interest Based Discount Accrued Till Date
EIMPREMPIA EIM Premium Paid In Advance
EIMPREMEXP EIM Premium Expense
EIMINTADJREC EIM Interest Adjustment Receivable
To recall, at the BC product level, you maintain preferences about status change processing through the Bills – User Defined Status Maintenance screen (which you invoke by clicking Status button in the Bills and Collections – Product Definition screen). During the contract status change processing, the following are supported by the system based on the preferences maintained:
  • All Discount Accrual accounting roles are made available for transfer.
  • The balances transferred are:
    • Premium TBA to Premium Accrued
    • Discount TBA to Discount Accrued

The setting of the Stop Accrual flag stops the Discount Accrual also. This indicates that the YACR event will not pass any accounting entries.

The setting of Reverse Accrual flag reverses the following balances:
  • Premium Accrued
  • Discount Accrued
