For instruments requiring collateral, the system administers collateral in an on-line environment and allows for multiple collateral pricing methods. The RTS Money Market module integrates other RTS modules for collateral source information. By keying return, the transaction input screen appears. Original payment code, sales-rep or trader is required. Principal amount is required except for those journals where principal is computed based on pledge price.
Maturity date is required for fixed-term journals.
Trade and settlement dates are pre-stored in the system's date control file but may be overridden. The collateral entry screen allows the operator to enter up to six different pieces of collateral per transaction. The entry screen for collateralized items differs for each of the three collateral processing types. The recap screen displays a final recap of the trade. Backward paging to previous screens is allowed based on the options at the bottom of the screen.
