Commercial Paper Discount accrual based on Yield Rate

We're trying to create a commercial paper instrument that would accrue a discount value based on the yield rate. I was trying various instruments with the one with formula timing "zero coupon disc on maturity" being the closest on what I need.

Unfortunately the values I am getting are still not exactly the same as the ones I am expecting as the accrual is based on Interest Rate applied to discounted value, not on the yield rate applied to face value, as I would expect.

    Hi there,

    Have you contacted client support on this? Also, the accruals are driven by the Accrual Method setting on the Accounting Rules page. It sounds like that setting should be set to "Yield" and may be set for Straight Line instead.

    Regards, Mark
