3. Results Panel

All the interest ranges that match the criteria entered by the user are loaded in this panel.

The user will be able to specify the new rate, new spread, or new amount in the corresponding columns.

The range is automatically flagged as “Selected” as soon as a user changes the applicable rate/spread or amount. Then, all changes are submitted once the user click Apply.

The status is updated from New to PendingAcceptance and the changes need to be accepted or rejected to be effective.

Another user can load all submitted ranges, decide to accept/reject the changes, and click on Apply to save the results.

 

Once accepted, the interest bearing rule is updated, taking the new rate and effective date into account.

Old range is updated with ActiveTo date = Process Date – 1 day.

New range is created with ActiveFrom date = Process Date.
