The deal entry process can be complex. PeopleSoft Deal Management from Oracle takes a simplified approach to the deal entry process. You can define the type, level, and depth of risk-limit-validation processing that is necessary for the instruments that your organization uses. The deal entry process can handle the intricacies of deals and their underlying instruments, as well as the unique practices of any treasury organization. You can capture as many deals process as many trades as you need. For each deal, you can define transaction and counterparty information in addition to providing preapproval requirements.
In this topic, the individual deal types are discussed in order of their frequency of use.
To create deals:
Define deal details for each instrument type.
Define settlement instructions.
Using deal entry pages, you can do the following::
Enter commodity deal details.
Enter commodity settlement details.
Define futures deal details.
Enter equity deal details.
Enter generic deal details.
Define option and option - binary payoff deal details.
Update option exercise status.
Enter foreign exchange (FX) deal physical details.
Define roll-specific details.
Specify IRP deal details.
Define IR swap deal details.
Note: Examples of deal entry are available in this topic: Understanding Deals Capture Examples.
See also Maintaining Equities.
If you have implemented the Limit Checked workflow and established position limits, the system automatically routes notification of deals that exceed limits to a defined user (or users) work list when you test deal limits.
Use the Deal Detail page (TRX_DETAIL_TR) to enter deal details for each instrument type.
Note that the Deal Management pages are similar for all deal instrument types. In general, only the fields on the Deal Detail page vary. The overall deal capture process is described in the discussion of IRP deals. The deal input details for each instrument type are discussed in the respective discussions of the Deal Detail page.

Many of the deals that you enter into are IRP deals—for example, loans, bonds, and deposits—that represent actual payments of principal and interest that occur in generally predictable amounts at fixed points in time.
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Settlement Date |
The system populates this field with a date after the specified transaction date. The value in the Time to Settlement field on the instrument determines the number of days after the transaction date. You can edit this field. |
Issue Date |
Displays the first day that an IRP deal begins accruing interest. The value of this field by default becomes the settlement date for both investments and debt. This value can be overwritten for investments. |
Classification |
Identifies whether the instrument is for Debt raising or an Investment. This is determined on the Instrument Detail page. If you select Investment, you can complete the Issuer and Guarantor fields on the Deal Detail page. |
Issuer and Guarantor |
These fields are active only if the following conditions are met:
|
Par Amount |
This is the amount that is paid or received when the IRP matures. For Debt, the settlement amount is the amount that is borrowed on the settlement date. For Investment, the settlement amount is the amount that is invested on the settlement date. If the amount of the deal is amortized, the amortization conditions must be defined. See Defining Amortization Functionality for IRP and IR Swap Deals. |
Price % (percent) of Par |
The system uses the values in the Par Amount and Settlement Amount fields to calculate the displayed value. |
Settlement Amount |
If this deal is a Debt, the settlement amount is the amount that is borrowed on the settlement date. If this deal is an Investment, the settlement amount is the amount that is invested on the settlement date. |
Purchased Interest |
Displays the accrued interest as calculated from the interest-period start date to the maturity date. |
Discount/Premium |
This field is available when the Interest Calculation field is set to Interest Bearing. It dictates how to account for and treat any discount or premium that is associated with an interest rate physical. Select whether you use a straightline or constant yield method to amortize the bond's discount (or premium). This also affects the calculation method for calculating interest accruals. Values are: None (blank): The discount amount is added to the interest amount (or the premium is deducted), and that total is accounted for by using the Treasury accounting event Interest Accrual. Constant Yield Method: The discount (or premium) amount is separately amortized (accounted for) using the Discount Accrual accounting event. The discount amount (or premium) that is amortized in each period is set so that the sum of the amortization amount plus the interest that is accrued provides a constant rate of interest (yield) when applied to the amount outstanding at the beginning of a period. Straightline Method: The discount (or premium) amount is separately amortized (accounted for) using the Discount Accrual accounting event. The discount amount (or premium) that is amortized in each period is set so that the total amortized portion equals the total amount of the discount (or premium) divided by the total life of the deal (term) in days, multiplied by the number of days that the deal is outstanding (by using 30/360-day counts if appropriate). See Accounting Events. |
Yield |
Enter the annual rate of return on the investment, expressed as a percentage. This field is calculated for interest bearing IRPs. |
Initial Reset Rate |
This field appears only for floating-rate deals. When you enter a rate in the Rate field the system updates the Initial Reset Rate value, inclusive of the index margin, after you run cash flows. The system stores and displays it here for the life of the deal. You cannot edit this field. |
Estimated Maturity Date |
This field appears only for interest-bearing debt instruments. Use this field to amortize the discount or premium to a different schedule based on an estimated maturity date. For fixed-rate deals that use the straightline discount or premium method, enter the estimated maturity date and click the Cash Flows button. The system builds a table containing two sets of information. The first set is the payment schedule and contains information regarding cash flows, positions, and accounting events data for both the maturity date and estimated maturity date. The second set contains information that is segregated by source code. When the accounting module calculates discount accrual for an estimated maturity date, it uses information from the estimated maturity date side of the table. |
Next Interest Payment |
Specify whether the next interest payment is:

Amount |
Enter the monetary amounts for this instrument. These amounts are the principal amounts that the system uses to calculate interest payments for an interest rate swap. |
Term |
If you entered the commencement and maturity dates, the system calculates the term. If you enter a term value, then the system calculates the maturity date by adding the term to the commencement date. |
Swap Principals |
Select an option to exchange principal amounts on the commencement date of the swap and on the maturity date. Specify Don't Swap, At Commencement, At Commencement and Maturity, or At Maturity. |
Amort Method (amortization method) |

Note: Defining deal amortization is an optional step, depending on certain deal conditions. As such, establishing deal amortization is discussed in a separate section. However, it is a part of setting up deal detail information. When you have entered deal amortization information, you should continue capturing the deal by entering settlement instructions. |
