In the financial market, any fee or premium needs to be settled. For a periodic cash settlement trade, such as
interest rate swaps or fixed rate bonds, there is a process of
simultaneous exchange of cash between parties at each payment date.
How to settle a cash payment manually?
Click the BackOffice tab at the top-left corner of the application. Then, expend BackOffice -> Action -> Payment Settlement.
After that, you can either click the Load button to load an existing trade settlement for review/modification or the New button
to generate a new payment settlement.
If you click the New button, a selection window pops up. Expend BackOffice -> Book (e.g., InterestRate) -> Product
(e.g., FiBond). All the bond trades within this book are displayed in the main windows.
Select a trade and click the Go button. A new payment settlement template is shown in the main window.
Fill all fields and click the Save button. The new payment settlement is created.
