Description of how the accounting of Commercial Paper work in Treasury System.
Example: If you Issue a Commercial paper with Nominal Amount 10 MSEK at the rate of 0,3%.
At start
At start you will debit the checking account and credit your debt account with the Discounted amount of the commercial paper.
At Maturity
At Maturity you will credit the checking account with the face value (nominal amount), debit the debt account with the discounted value amount and debit your interest account.
Unrealised
At month end Treasury Systems create accounting for the accrued interest. The accounting will be reversed the first day of next month.
Close
If you buy back the Commercial paper before maturity date (example below shows a full buy back at the rate of 1%), you will need to set up Accounting rules for Event Type Close as well.
Treasury Systems account for the Close at the date for the buy back, no accounting will be made on the original Deal End Date. The Accounting Rule for Commercial Papers must be updated with Accounts for the Event Type Close, where the Interim Checking Account should be the same as the "usual" Checking Account, and the Close Interest should have P/L accounts. See example below:
