Bonds

The following event types, used to manually record bonds, existed before the addition of the Debt Management module. These event types are still supported but do not fit the automated accounting of Debt Management.

GA20: Record Bond Liability - The event type establishes the liability for the debt as well as either a premium or a discount that may have existed for the issue. The Journal Voucher is the most common transaction for recording such activity.

Prior Event Types: Referenced accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence.

Subsequent Event Types: Referencing accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence.

GA16: Collect Bond Proceeds - The event type records the cash and revenue resulting from a bond issuance. The Journal Voucher or Cash Receipt is the most common transaction for recording such activity. A unique revenue posting code for Bond Revenue has been used for two reasons: if the posting code should not update revenue budgets like R003 would and for easy identification for reporting needs.

Cr         A004: Bond Revenue

Prior Event Types: Referenced accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence.

Subsequent Event Types: Referencing accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence.

GA17: Record Bond Issuance Costs - When issuance costs are deducted from the proceeds of a bond issue, there will be no disbursement for those costs. For that reason, this event type exists to record such costs. If those costs were not deducted, then a request for payment would be processed to get a disbursement. This event type is similar to GA01 that is covered in the Miscellaneous Account tab later. The D014 posting code is the same as used for other cash expenditures and may be substituted by a custom one if budget updates are not desired or a need for quick identifications in reports exists. The Journal Voucher is the most common transaction for recording such activity.

Posting Pair A: Proceeds

Dr         D014: External Cash Expenditure/Expense

Cr         A001: Cash (A)

Prior Event Types: Referenced accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence. A memo reference may exist to the transaction that recorded the bond proceeds.

Subsequent Event Types: Referencing accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence.

GA18: Amortize Bond Discount or Premium - When a bond sells for less than face value, it is considered sold at a 'discount'.  When sold for more than face value, it is sold at a 'premium.' The initial recoding of a discount serves to increase the bond liability while also establishing a discount account with a contrary balance (debit balance for a liability account). The initial recoding of a premium decreases the bond liability while also establishing a premium account (credit balance for a liability account). Over the life of the bond, these discount and premium accounts are reduced (amortized) while an accrued expenditure is recorded.  The final amortization will occur as the note becomes payable.  The Journal Voucher is the most common transaction for recording amortizations, and the reoccurring ability of the Future Transaction Triggering functionality is often used to schedule the amortization to occur automatically.

Posting Pair A: Discount

Dr         D011: External Accrued Expenditure/Expense

Cr         A027: Bond Discount/Premium (L)

Prior Event Types: Referenced accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence.

Subsequent Event Types: Referencing accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence.

GA19: Accrue Bond Interest - At month-end and year-end the need exists to accrue interest for a bond issue if interest payments do not occur at month-end. The Journal Voucher is the most common transaction for recording interest accruals, and the reversing capability of the Future Transaction Triggering functionality is often used to reverse the accrual at the beginning of the next month or new-year.

Posting Pair A: Discount

Dr         D011: External Accrued Expenditure/Expense

Cr         A015: Generic Liability (L)

Prior Event Types: Referenced accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence.

Subsequent Event Types: Referencing accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence.

AP19: Authorize Bond Interest Payment - Periodically over the life of a bond, interest must be paid. This event type is used to request that payment. A separate event type is used to track such a payment request instead of using AP01 for tracking purposes only. Given that such an event occurs on a set basis and is for a set amount, the Future Transaction Triggering feature is often used to schedule these interest payment requests automatically. The General Accounting Expenditure transaction is the most common transaction for recording such activity.

Posting Pair A: Disbursement

Dr         D011: External Accrued Expenditure / Expense

Cr         D001: Disbursements Payable (L)

Prior Event Types: Referenced accounting activity for this event type is not a likely occurrence.

Subsequent Event Types: Depending on the Disbursement Option on SOPT and whether or not a manual or automatic disbursement will be done, the event types that will reference and liquidate AP13 are: Payout Bond Principle Automatically (DI46-48) or Payout Bond Principle Manually (DI96-98). The AP Event Type Crosswalk (APEVXW) and MD Default Event Type (MDDFEV) will ensure the correct event type is placed on the disbursement according to SOPT and other disbursement parameters.

AP13: Authorize Bond Principal Payment - As the maturity data of a bond issue is reached, the principal amount financed must be paid. This event type is used to request that payment. A separate event type is used to track such a payment request instead of using AP01 because of two reasons. A unique posting code is used to record Bond Principal Expenses for reporting purposes and because budget updates may not be required, which would be done with D011. The General Accounting Expenditure transaction is the most common transaction for recording such activity.

GA21: Reclassify Bond Discount or Premium - When a bond matures the amounts previously amortized for either a discount or premium must be reclassified from Accrued Expenditures to Cash Expenditures. The Journal Voucher is the most common transaction for recording such activity.
