System Maintained Files
Contracts Entered in Various Modules
The Contracts entered under various modules Loans and Deposits (LD), Arrangement Architecture (AA), Money Market (MM), Syndicated Lending (SL), Bills (BL) have few pivotal fields to trigger the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) processing and to raise the accounting adjustments to reflect the IFRS measurement.
To generate IFRS compliant entries, following fields are mandatory at contract level
- IFRS Classification
- Ias Sub Type
- Market Key (or)
- Market Margin
When the contracts are authorised, the cash flow details (present and future cash flows including principal component, interest, tax charges) are updated centrally in core system file EB.CASHFLOW
.
Once the accounting routines are processed, the system updates EB.CONTRACT.BALANCES, the IFRS.ACCT.BALANCES and optional IFRS.ACCOUNTING.DETAILS.
The following core files are used by the system:

EB.CASHFLOW is the central data repository of the cash flow engine. It generates cash flows for contracts input in different applications.
It stores the cash flow information. When MM, LD, SL, AA and BL deals are entered and authorised, an EB.CASHFLOW record is created, which contains details of the deal, the cash flow, the Effective Interest Rate (EIR), stage of the contract, next review date for the system to initiate IFRS 9 processing.
This table stores the Static information relating to the contract and displays in the following fields
- CCY
- Interest Basis
- IFRS Classification
- Ias Sub Type
- Accounting Method
- Contract Rate
- Accrual Method
Rate information relating to the contract is captured and displayed in the following fields:
- Market Key
- Market Margin (includes MARGIN operand).
Cash flow information relating to the contract is captured and displayed in the following fields:
- Cashflow Date
- Cashflow Amount
- Accrual Method
A sample of the EB.CASHFLOW record is shown below:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Asset Liab Ind | Indicates the Asset and Liability indicator, which updates based on the initial sign of the contract. |
Posting Details Id | Indicates the IFRS.POSTING.DETAILS.ID that is updated by the system. |
Eir Reqd | Indicates whether EIR calculation is required. |
Event Type | Indicates the cash flow change event, which is passed on by the application. |
EIR | Stores the effective rate of interest calculated based on the information supplied to the EB.CASHFLOW.HANDOFF by the applications. |

Stage | Updates the value based on the configuration in IFRS.PARAMETER. |
Next Review Date | Indicates the date for review, which is based on the parameter review frequency set. |
Application | Displays the application in which the contract was recorded. |
The EB.CASHFLOW record also holds the details of the expected cash flows if a contract is to be impaired. The details are entered through the IFRS.DATA.CAPTURE application.

The IFRS.ACCT.BALANCES application stores the accrued balances (calculated balances) for different Acct Head Types per contract.
This is a common table, which is updated across various applications following the same rules.
A screenshot of IFRS.ACCT.BALANCES is displayed below :
Field | Description |
---|---|
Balance | Indicates the previous day’s balance. |
Last Calc Amt | Indicates current day’s movement. |
IFRS9 Contract Balance | Indicates current day’s figure for EB.CONTRACT.BALANCE. |

The IFRS.ACCOUNTING.DETAILS file holds the details of the various components used for the calculation of IFRS entries.
If the Update Acct Dtls field is set to Yes, then the system produces this lower level detail record for each deal per day. If set to No, then these records are not produced.
The records can be activated for testing and de-activated once live, if the bank feels it is appropriate.
Below is the screenshot of IFRS.ACCOUNTING.DETAILS:
The following table explains the fields and its corresponding descriptions.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Ifrs Balance 1 | Displays the current day’s amount for Amortised – Stage 1. |
