The Term Amount Property Class holds the below balance prefixes:

  • Lending: Current and Total
  • Deposits: Total

For a loan contract, this reflects the amount of the loan commitment available for disbursal. This balance is reported as a contingent balance type and is a negative (contingent asset) figure.

The current committed principal has CUR as prefix.

Term Amount for Savings Plan

For Savings Plan Product Line, the Term Amount field is not mandatory and the system does not consider this amount as the principal amount of the savings plan deposit. For Savings Plan, the user specifies the actual amount in the payment schedule with a particular frequency in which the customer has to pay the principal amount. The sum of these amounts is raised as a Pay bill on the maturity date.

Periodic Attribute Classes

The Term Amount Property Class has the below Period Attributes. The associated actions are also mentioned for each attribute.

Periodic Attribute Description
Full Disbursement On TERM.AMOUNT-DRAW Action, this field defines if partial disbursement is allowed. The value Yes specifies when the arrangement is disbursed, the system disburses all committed principal for the effective date.

To apply this restriction for the lifetime of the arrangement, the AA.PERIODIC.ATTRIBUTE is created with a Type as LIFE. The Rule Start field that is set to Agreement can be used if the restriction only applies to the duration of the current arrangement product. The Pr Value field must be set to Yes for full disbursement to be checked.
Term Amount Decrease This field restricts the maximum amount of the committed principal that can be decreased over a specified period. The system validates this rule when a Decrease Activity takes place on the Term Amount Property. The system compares the amounts from the value in the Amount field in the Term Amount Property. The Pr Value field must specify the maximum decrease amount.

For example, Applicable rule:maximum decrease in principal of 1,000 is allowed over a 6-month period. Committed amount 6 months ago is 20,000, Allowed decrease in 6 months period is 1,000 . If the new amount is less than 19,000, the rule is broken.
Term Amount Increase This field restricts the maximum amount of the committed principal that can be increased over a specified period. The system validates this rule when the Increase Activity takes place on the Term Amount Property. The system compares the amounts available in the Amount field in the Term Amount Property. The Pr Value field must specify the maximum increase amount.

For example, Applicable rule: maximum increase in principal of 1,000 is allowed over a 6-month period. Committed amount 6 months ago is 20,000 , Allowed increase in 6-month period is 1,000. If the new amount is more than 21,000, the rule is broken.
Term Amount Increase Tolerance This field specifies the percentage increase allowed over time rather than a specific amount. The system calculates the percentage increase as the percentage of the value at the start of the restriction period. It validates this rule when the Increase Activity takes place. The Pr Value field must specify the maximum increase percentage.

For example, Applicable rule: 5 percentage increase is allowed over a 6-month period. Available balance 6 months ago is 10,000 Allowed increase in the 6-month period is 5 percentage of 10,000 = 500. If the new amount value in the Property is more than 10,500, the rule is broken.
Term Amount Decrease Tolerance The field specifies the percentage decrease allowed over time rather than a specific amount. The system calculates the percentage decrease as the percentage of the value at the start of the restriction period. It validates this rule when the Decrease Activity takes place. The Pr Value field must specify the maximum decrease percentage.

For example, Applicable rule: 5 percentage decrease is allowed over a 6-month period. Available balance 6 months ago is 10,000 Allowed decrease in the 6-month period is 5 percentage of 10,000 = 500. If the new Amount value in the property is less than 9,500, the rule is broken.
