ABOUT THIS BOOK

Welcome to Basic Entities configuration setup in Eagle Accounting (also known as STAR). In Eagle Accounting, there are two classes of entities, which are collections of securities: basic entities and master fund entities. Basic entities represent a collection of securities, such as a portfolio or an account. Master fund entities represent mutual funds and other types of funds that involve capital stock and net asset value (NAV) processing. This guide describes how to create and maintain basic entities for use in Eagle Accounting. It explains how to configure this class of entities to meet your accounting objectives, and describes how to set up entities to work with Eagles workflow, operations, and reporting tools.
Who Should Read This Book

This book is written for Eagle Accounting users responsible for setting up, maintaining, and supporting processing of basic entity information. This guide describes how to enter entity information manually using STAR panels. For information on maintaining all entity types automatically, see the Generic Interfaces Reference Guide (formerly called the Message Center STAR and CSV Format Default Streams Guide.) This guide assumes you are already familiar with Eagle Accounting. A complete list of books that support Eagles Accounting solution is available on the Eagle Gateway and Eagles Knowledge Center.

Topics Covered in This Chapter

About Entities Using Process Centers with Entities Using Entity Profiles
About Entities
An entity is another name for a portfolio. It is a collection of investments owned by the same individual, corporation, partnership, or trust. An entity tracks your trade activity and maintains account positions, as well as all income and expenses. This guide describes the following types of entities that Eagle Accounting supports: Basic Entity. A basic entity is designed to track transactions and trades for a wide variety of investments including foreign and domestic equities, fixed income securities (for example, mortgage backed securities and long and short term debt instruments) and derivatives (for example, futures, forwards, swaps, and options). You can classify basic entities using an entity type of Portfolio or Benchmark. Mutual Fund Entity. A mutual fund entity is specifically designed to track transactions and trades for mutual funds that involve capital stock and net asset value (NAV) processing. The mutual fund entity structure supports multiple share class accounting. All classes are tracked as well as the original or total fund from which the amounts were allocated. The allocation ratios between the classes are calculated and the resulting ratios are then used to allocate the appropriate amounts. All figures are stored for reporting purposes. The mutual fund entity structure also allows you to create sectors, distinct subsets of the mutual fund, whose components share characteristics of the mutual fund entity such as lot selection and amortization method. In Eagle Accounting, the terms mutual fund and master fund are used interchangeably. Both terms are used to describe a mutual fund entity. You can classify mutual fund entities using a master fund type of Benchmark, Institutional and Trustee, Mutual Fund, Money Market, Managed/Unmanaged, or Off Shore. Entity List. An itemization of entities that you create and use for scheduling purposes. Composite. A collection of entities grouped together for reporting purposes. You can classify composites using an entity type of Aggregate, Composite, or Control Center Composite.
Using Process Centers with Entities

Eagle Accounting allows you to group entities into process centers to control the timing of global processes. Global processes are events such as earnings, corporate actions, settlements, factors, cash sweeps, expirations, interest on cash, unrealized gains/losses, and STAR to PACE Direct processes which you can process for more than one entity and security at a time. Process centers improve engine performance during Start of Day (SOD) and End of Day (EOD) processing.
When you create a basic entity or mutual fund entity, you can use the Process Center field on the Add Entity and Master Fund Setup panels to associate the entity with a process center code. Eagle recommends that you select a process center code when you set up a basic or mutual fund entity. If you need to set up a process center code, select the Admin category on the Eagle STAR home page window and click the Add New Process Center Location link under the Eagle STAR Process Center menu. For more information about using process centers, see the Operations Tools Guide.
Using Entity Profiles

If you need to manually add several entities with similar characteristics, you can save time by creating a profile. A profile is a template you can use to add repetitive information to Eagle Accounting.
Creating an Entity Profile

To create a profile for an entity: 1. Enter the entity data on the Add Entity panel (for a basic entity) or Master Fund Setup panel (for a mutual fund entity). For details, see Adding a Basic Entity or Adding a Mutual Fund Entity. 2. Do one of the following: Click Store. Right-click and select Save Profile. The Enter profile name dialog box appears. See Figure 1.
Figure 1: Enter Profile Name Dialog Box
3. Enter the name of the entity profile. 4. Specify whether you want the profile to be Public or Private. You can either: Select the Public check box, the default setting, if you want the profile available for use by all members who belong to your Report Profile group. Report Profile groups are set up by your system administrator using Eagles User Manager. Clear the Public check box if you want the profile to be private. Private profiles are only available for use by your User ID. 5. Click OK. Eagle Accounting creates a profile with the specified name.
Note:
Within the panel, there is a tag property [Not For Profile = Y/N] which controls whether to save the field to your profile dataset.

Field
Core Accounting Fields Accounting Basis
Tag
Description
21
(Required) This field specifies the primary accounting basis for the entity. You cannot edit this field once the entity has holdings. Options include: USTAX. Default. Eagle Accounting is set up in accordance with domestic tax regulations. GAAP. Eagle Accounting is set up in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This is the most common basis. IFRS. Eagle Accounting is set up in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). STAT. Eagle Accounting is set up for use with statutory insurance. Eagle Accounting is installed with a set of values for this field. You can add additional values using the Add Code Values panel. An entity can have more than one accounting basis. You can add an additional accounting basis for an entity if you need to perform two different types of amortization on the same positions within your entity or your entity contains more than one base currency. Note The accounting basis you select names the set of standards you are applying to the entity, but does not configure the field settings for that basis. After you specify the accounting basis, you choose the settings (for example, cost method, lot selection method, base currency) that comprise that accounting basis.
Regulatory Category
12387
The regulatory category associated with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). You cannot edit this field once the entity has holdings. Options include: Available for Sale (AFS) Available for Sale at Cost (AFSC) Fair Value Option (FVO) Held for Trading (HFT) Held to Maturity (HTM) Loans and Receivables (LR) Mutual Fund Fair Value Option (MFFVO) Mutual Fund Held for Trading (MFHFT) Other (O) All investments within an entity/basis have the same regulatory category. A multi basis entity can have different regulatory categories by basis. If you set the Accounting Basis to IFRS, you must select a Regulatory Category for IFRS basis levels; otherwise, this field is optional.
URGL Accounting Rule
1079
The URGL Rule establishes proper treatment of unrealized market and currency gains/losses to ensure compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This field is required only if you select a regulatory category of Available for Sale, Available for Sale at Cost, Fair Value Option, Held for Trading, Held to Maturity, or Loans and Receivables.
13
Field
Cost Method
Tag
22
Description
(Required) This field specifies the cost method Eagle Accounting uses to calculate gain/loss amounts from the sale of security lots held by the entity. You cannot edit this field once the entity has holdings. Options include: Identified. Default. Eagle Accounting determines which lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method field. After identifying the lot, Eagle Accounting determines its cost and compares that to the lot's earnings to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes. If you select Identified, you can amortize fixed income securities using all the options Eagle Accounting has available. Average. Eagle Accounting determines which lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method field. After identifying the lot, Eagle Accounting determines the average of all of the holdings (total cost of holdings divided by the number of holdings) to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes. If you select Average, you can amortize fixed income securities using only selected options Eagle Accounting has available. Eagle Accounting applies the total amortization to individual lots based on the percentage of total par owned in the position. For more information on amortization methods, refer to the Fixed Income Processing User Guide. Note Eagle Accounting is a multiple basis accounting system. If you set up an additional accounting basis, it must have the same cost method as the primary accounting basis.
14
Field
Lot Selection Method
Tag
27
Description
(Required) This field specifies the lot selection method Eagle Accounting uses to relieve (sell) lots of a security held by the entity. Options include: LIFO (Last In First Out). Eagle Accounting relieves the lot that was last in as first out. FIFO (First In First Out). Default. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot that was first in as first out. If there are two or more lots with the same characteristics for a particular lot selection method, Eagle Accounting defaults to FIFO. For example, suppose an entity is selling lots of securities and uses Low Original Cost (LORIG) as the lot selection method. The entity owns a total of 2 lots of an equity security, both purchased with an open price of 1. One of the lots has a trade date of 1/1/04. The other lot has a trade date of 1/9/04. The LORIG sell transaction looks for the lot with the lowest open price but finds two lots that fit the criteria. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with the trade date of 1/1/04 because the default lot selection method is FIFO. High Amortized Cost. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with the highest amortized cost. Low Amortized Cost. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with the lowest amortized cost. High Original Cost. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with the highest original cost. Low Original Cost. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with the lowest original cost. Identified Lot. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with an Event ID or a Trade Ticket ID identified on the sale of the lot. Best Tax. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot based on a predetermined best tax methodology. Tax Advantage: Tax Advantage relieves the lot with the lowest tax liability. Note You can select Versus Purchase as your lot selection method at the trade level, but cannot select it at the entity/accounting basis level. Versus Purchase is an identified lot methodology that can correctly handle rollback replay of corrections. It uses purchase lot characteristics to identify lots for sale rather than unique identifiers. For more information on these methods, refer to the Fixed Income Processing User Guide.

Field
Cost Method Cash
Tag
9924
Description
(Required) This field specifies the cost method Eagle Accounting uses to calculate gain or loss amounts from the sale of foreign currency lots held by the entity. You cannot edit this field once the entity has holdings. Options include: Identified. Default. Eagle Accounting determines which foreign currency lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method Cash field. After identifying the lot, Eagle Accounting determines its cost and compares that to the lot's earnings to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes. Average. Eagle Accounting determines which foreign currency lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method Cash field. After identifying the lot, Eagle Accounting determines the average of all of the holdings (total cost of holdings divided by the number of holdings) to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes. Note Eagle Accounting bypasses rollback and replay processing for same day cost of cash activity. Eagle Accounting processes open and close trades for the same date in the order in which the trades arrive. As a result, some close trades may be processed prior to open trades. The average cost close trades do not include the cost of open trades that have not been processed. This may result in small variances in gains and losses for entities processing average cash. There is no effect on ID lot gains and losses.
Account Base Currency
86
(Required) This field specifies the base currency of the entity. You cannot edit this field once the entity has holdings. Note You can set up the entity to report on more than one base currency if you add an additional accounting basis.
Country of Tax Code
1342
(Required). This field specifies the ISO country code of the country in which the entity is located. Eagle Accounting uses the value in the Country of Tax Code field to calculate tax withholding and tax reclaim rates. Eagle Accounting uses the Country of Tax field to determine the applicable tax withholding and reclaim rates in the Global Tax table. Eagle Accounting provides the list of countries and their associated ISO country codes in the Country Code category as part of the installation upgrade process. If you enter a value in the Country of Tax Code field, Eagle Accounting fills in the Country of Tax field with its corresponding value. This field exists solely on the entity record, and the value can be edited after the entity is established. The dynamic lookup is based on the COUNTRY CODE Code Category. For more information on tax withholding and tax reclaim rates, refer to the Fixed Income Processing User Guide.
Country of Tax
1193
This field specifies the name of the country in which the entity is domiciled. If you enter a value for the Country of Tax field, Eagle Accounting fills in the Country of Tax Code field with the corresponding value. The dynamic lookup is based on the COUNTRY CODE Code Category.

Eagle recommends that you set this field to No.
17
Field
Tech Short Eligible Indicator
Tag
57
Description

Field
Month End Date Rule
Tag
5161
Description
(Required) This field determines whether Eagle Accounting uses the last calendar day or the last business day of the month as the monthly accounting date. If you select the default Month End Date Rule, DEFAULT, Eagle Accounting uses the last calendar day of the month as the month end accounting date. However, if you select a business calendar from the Calendar Name field, Eagle Accounting uses the last business day of the month. Month End Accounting Date is stored on all transactions booked to Eagle Accounting. This allows you to book as of activity in the current accounting period but reflect the transaction in the monthly period that it actually occurred in. This allows you to report these transactions in the correct month end report without having to reopen closed daily valuation and accounting periods. You can generate several ledger and subledger reports based on Month End Accounting Date. You can also create custom Month End Date rules using the Add Month End Rule panel. You cannot edit this field after you create the entity.
Calendar Name
1941
This field specifies the name of the entity's business calendar, which is used to define a specific country's non-business days for accounting purposes. Business calendars are user defined and typically set up by your system administrator. If you: Select a business calendar, Eagle Accounting creates an accounting period for each business day of the year, as specified in the selected business calendar. The value you enter for the Calendar Name field must match the value you enter for the Country of Tax Code and Earn Thru Rule Name fields. For example, if you enter CA (Canada) for the Country of Tax Code field, you must also enter CA for Calendar Name and Earn Thru Rule Name fields. After you select a value, the Non Business Day Processing field and Earn Thru Rule Name field become available.

Chapter 3: Adding Multiple Accounting Bases

This chapter describes how to create entities with multiple accounting bases. After you create a basic entity or a mutual fund entity and define its primary accounting basis, you can associate additional accounting bases with that entity.

About Multiple Accounting Bases

An accounting basis is the conceptual framework that you adhere to for resolving your accounting and reporting issues. Eagle Accounting uses the accounting basis to determine the proper accounting treatment and valuation of the securities held by an entity. Eagle Accounting is a multiple bases accounting system, allowing you to report on an entity using different accounting treatments. For example, you can set up a primary accounting basis with wash sales disabled and an additional accounting basis with wash sales enabled, allowing you to report on transactions with or without wash sales. The following fields often differ across accounting bases: Lot Selection Method Cost Method Primary Amortization/Accretion Rule Bifurcation Method Base Currency Short Term Discount Accrual Eagle Accounting maintains a separate set of books for each accounting basis and transactions are processed against each defined basis. To ensure accurate reporting, set up any additional accounting bases prior to booking transactions to the entity. When you set up a basic entity, Eagle Accounting creates a primary accounting basis using the values in the Accounting Basis and Primary Basis Indicator fields on the Add Entity panel. You can then add the additional accounting basis using the Add a Basis to a Portfolio panel. Note: As a best practice, Eagle recommends that you use the Add a Basis to a Portfolio panel to also add a secondary basis or additional bases to a master fund. For more information, see the Adding Multiple Accounting Bases section in the Accounting Mutual Funds Configuration Guide.

Adding an Additional Accounting Basis

The Add a Basis to a Portfolio panel allows you to add an additional accounting basis for a basic entity 1. You can use the Change a Basis to a Portfolio panel to make changes to the settings for an entity/accounting basis. To add an additional accounting basis to a basic or mutual fund entity: 1. From the Eagle STAR main window, click the Ledger category. 2. Under the Accounting Basis menu, select Add a Basis to a Portfolio. The Add a Basis to a Portfolio panel appears. See Figure 4.
Figure 4: Add a Basis to a Portfolio Panel
3. In the Ledger Accounting Books section, select the entity with the accounting basis you want to add. 4.

Cost Method
22
(Required) This field specifies the cost method Eagle Accounting uses to calculate gain/loss amounts from the sale of security lots held by the entity/accounting basis. Options include: Identified. Default. Eagle Accounting determines which lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method field. After identifying the lot, Eagle Accounting determines its cost and compares that to the lot's earnings to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes. If you select Identified, you can amortize fixed income securities using all the options Eagle Accounting has available. Average. Eagle Accounting determines which lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method field. After identifying the lot, Eagle Accounting determines the average of all of the holdings (total cost of holdings divided by the number of holdings) to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes. If you select Average, you can amortize fixed income securities using only selected options Eagle Accounting has available. Eagle Accounting applies the total amortization to individual lots based on the percentage of total par owned in the position. For more information on amortization methods, refer to the Fixed Income Processing User Guide. You cannot edit this field after the entity has holdings.

Lot Selection Method
Tag
27
Description
(Required) This field specifies the lot selection method Eagle Accounting uses to relieve (sell) lots of a security held by the entity/accounting basis. Options include: LIFO (Last In First Out). Default. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot that was last in as first out. FIFO (First In First Out). Default. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot that was first in as first out. If there are two or more lots with the same characteristics for a particular lot selection method, Eagle Accounting defaults to FIFO. For example, suppose an entity is selling lots of securities and uses Low Original Cost (LORIG) as the lot selection method. The entity owns a total of 2 lots of an equity security, both purchased with an open price of 1. One of the lots has a trade date of 1/1/04. The other lot has a trade date of 1/9/04. The LORIG sell transaction looks for the lot with the lowest open price but finds two lots that fit the criteria. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with the trade date of 1/1/04 because the default lot selection method is FIFO. High Amortized Cost. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with the highest amortized cost. Low Amortized Cost. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with the lowest amortized cost. High Original Cost. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with the highest original cost. Low Original Cost. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with the lowest original cost. Identified Lot. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot with an Event ID or a Trade Ticket ID identified on the sale of the lot. Best Tax. Eagle Accounting relieves the lot based on a pre-determined best tax methodology. Tax Advantage: Tax Advantage relieves the lot with the lowest tax liability. Note You can select Versus Purchase as your lot selection method at the trade level, but cannot select it at the entity/accounting basis level. Versus Purchase is an identified lot methodology that can correctly handle rollback replay of corrections. It uses purchase lot characteristics to identify lots for sale rather than unique identifiers. For more information on these methods, refer to the Fixed Income Processing User Guide.

Description
(Required) This field specifies the cost method Eagle Accounting uses to calculate gain or loss amounts from the sale of foreign currency lots held by the entity/accounting basis. Options include: Average. Eagle Accounting determines which foreign currency lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method Cash field. After identifying the lot, Eagle Accounting determines the average of all of the holdings (total cost of holdings divided by the number of holdings) to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes. Identified. Eagle Accounting determines which foreign currency lot to relieve (sell) based on the value in the Lot Selection Method Cash field. After identifying the lot, Eagle Accounting determines its cost and compares that to the lot's earnings to calculate a gain or loss amount for reporting purposes. You cannot edit this field after the entity has holdings. Note Eagle Accounting bypasses rollback and replay processing for same day cost of cash activity. Eagle Accounting processes open and close trades for the same date in the order in which the trades arrive. As a result, some close trades may be processed prior to open trades. The average cost close trades do not include the cost of open trades that have not been processed. This may result in small variances in gains and losses for entities processing average cash. There is no effect on ID lot gains and losses.

Description
This field is used to relieve the current holdings of a security for a non primary accounting basis. This field determines processing for the open lots that are eligible to be closed on an additional accounting basis. Options include: Use Basis Value Unless Event = IDLOT or VSP.(Default) Eagle Accounting uses the value in the accounting basis table unless the incoming event has a lot selection method of Identified Lot (IDLOT) or Versus Purchase (VSP). That is, if the incoming event has a lot selection method of IDLOT or VSP, Eagle Accounting utilizes the IDLOT or VSP lot selection method to close the lots for that particular accounting basis. If the incoming event does not have an IDLOT or VSP lot selection method, Eagle Accounting utilizes the lot selection method on the accounting basis. Use Event Value. Eagle Accounting uses the lot selection method from the incoming event and does not utilize the lot selection method in the accounting basis table. Always Use Basis Value. Eagle Accounting uses the accounting basis default regardless of what lot selection method is on the incoming event. If Event = Primary Basis use Basis Table Else use Event. Eagle Accounting uses the accounting basis lot selection rule if the lot selection method on the event matches the lot selection of the primary accounting basis. If the lot selection method on the event does not match the lot selection method on the primary accounting basis, Eagle Accounting utilizes the lot selection method on the incoming event. If Event = IDLOT or VSP use IDLOT or VSP Else if Event = Primary Basis use Basis Table. Eagle Accounting uses IDLOT or VSP lot selection processing if the incoming event has a lot selection method of Identified Lot or Versus Purchase. If the lot selection method from the incoming event is not IDLOT or VSP but the lot selection on the event matches the lot selection method on the primary accounting basis then Eagle Accounting uses the lot selection method of the accounting basis record. If the lot selection method on the event does not match the primary accounting basis lot selection method and the event does not equal IDLOT or VSP, Eagle Accounting uses the lot selection method on the entity. For examples, refer to the Fixed Income Processing User Guide.
