I tried to be as clear as I could with the client, but they insist that they cannot edit the roll because of accounting being changed & roll date isn’t the maturity of interest according to their agreements. See below in blue and attached.
Upon further review, the development analyst returned to the original suggestion, that is of editing the previous roll as it should retain the customization.
If we edit the last roll and just change the date to the next maturity of interest, the previous maturity will be overwritten. So this is not an option to use. The dates of all interest payments must appear, otherwise Accounting entries will be wrong. Pls see attached nb 1.
Is it right that while rolling the deal and paying the interest, you’re changing the action date in order to have the interest amount recalculated for the amended interest payment date?
Correct, rolling the deals means inputting the next maturity date of interest. In the example in the Word attached, under nb 2 a), first of all we changed the Action date of interest payment to 18 March instead of 22 March. Then rolled the deal from 22 March to 23 June and saved, see screen 2. b).
The screen 2. c) shows that the 18 March was changed back to 22 March automatically.
While editing the roll instead of the end of month you edit the roll to this particular action date (say instead of end of month you're rolling by 3 weeks), since by rolling the date to another, you tell Quantum to pay interest on the roll date. In your case (3^rd^ possibility) that would be rolling the deal to 8^th^ December if I’m not mistaken. After that, you could perform another roll. Could you please test this on a non-Production site?
It is not an option to roll the deal until 8^th^ December because it is not a maturity of interest. We must stick to the periods as stated in the Loan agreements. Generally 3 month periods.
