METHODS AND SYSTEM
A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material
which is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection
to the
facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent
disclosure, as it
appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but
otherwise

BACKGROUND OF THL INVENTION
This invention relates generally to accounting systems and more
specifically to accounting systems that provide support for leases and/or
loans.
Typical lease and loan accounting systems include accounting support
at a lease or loan level, as part of an integrated system. Known lease and
loan
l0 accounting systems do not utilize a sub-ledger transaction to support
transactions that
comprise a general ledger, but instead provide sub-ledger transaction support
indirectly from an operational system.
As a result accounting is not isolates from changes that occur in the
operational system that should not have accounting .mpact. In addition, asset
level
detail typically required for complex lease and loan transactions may not be
provided
by such accounting systems.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In one aspect, the present invention is an accounting system that
supports multiple pricing models and supports multiple operational systems. In
addition, the accounting system is isolated from operational system changes to
2o provide stability to other accounting systems used simultaneously in
background.
In an exemplary embodiment, a lease and loan sub-ledger accounting
system for providing sub-ledger transaction detail for asset level accounting
includes

Description
The accaurri: ~f,~ engine.does accounting at the asset krvel. Often, an
operational system
will be set up to perform some activities at a higher level; e.g., customer or
account level.
The asset group record allows any number of assets to be grouped together
based upon
the group name. It will be possible for the operational system to pass an
Asset Group,
rather than an array of individual assets, to the Axounting Engine. Using the
Asset Group
will cause all assets associated with the Group to be processed through an
Event.
Assets group types may be on a customer or account level.
There are two distinct advantages to using an Asset Group rather than passing
an array of
assets:
1. The Asset Group will have an easily recognizable value in the operational
system; e.g.,
Asset 1, 3, and 17 may ail belong to Customer ABC.
2. It will minimize the amount of data passed for frequently-referenced Asset
Groups or
Asset Groups with many assets. '

Description
This interface contains the methods required to define UDF's {User Defined
Fields) to the
Accounting Engine. This will allow operational systems to define their own
variables to be
associated with specific instances of entity with the UDF Component. Each UDF
will
consist of a namel~alue pair.
Note, the operational systems will be responsible for passing the data values
required for a
UDF.
Accounting / Finance will define the UDF Names to help prevent the
proliferation of UDF's,
but a system Actor will actually populate the UDF Names table.

Description
The (Event processing interface contains methods used in calls to the
Accounting Engine which
require the creation of Journal Entries. Information passed to this interface
will be combined w'tth
data stored in the Ac"~unting Engine to process through Events defined inside
the Axounting
Engine.
This interface is fundamental to transaction processing between the
Operational system and the
Accounting Engine.

Many of these services will actually calf to other (Service routines in other
DLL's. Rather than have
the individual interfaces in the BSAEEventProc call the individual services,
this (Service interface will
act like a controller class with the intelligence to decide how to get the
data. It can either obtain
itsetl or by calling it from a brother routine, as appropriate.
This will aid maintainability and maximize re-use.

Rules are used to define the calculations required to process an Event. A Rule
is similar in
nature to an Excel function. Each Rule will expect specific inputs and will
have Pre-defined, hard-
coded behavior. These are complex in nature and w~l be built with the
expectation that an
accompl'~shed spreadsheet user is defining the Rules.
Each Rule can be used in many different Qualified Event lines. E.g. it will be
possible to define a
Rule for Net Receivable that is referred to in several Glualified Event lines.
tf there was a different
net receivable ca~ulation for which was dependant ors Product type. there
would be two different
Rules, Net Receivable for Product A, and Net Receivable for Product B.
Every JE that is processed will need to use a rule to ca~utate the posting

Input / Output Data:
The Rule will have header information containing: Rule name, Rule Description
Each Rule will also have one or more Rule tines. The Rule lines will each have
all of the data
required to pertortn the calculation. This may include: verbs (SumStream,

Val'~d destinations: User variable, JEPostHmt or StreamPostAmts.
JEPostAmt is the amount of the JE Debit 1 Credit entry.
StreamAmts contain the information required to create or update a stream.
UserVariables are temporary fields defined in this rule, for use on one or
more rule lines.
The data used to proceaa rules can come from: .

Accounting Engine Rules
Overview
Accounting Engine Rules are used to describe the cafculatans performed by the
Accounting
Engine. Every business Event will contain one or more rules to calculate each
required Journal
Entry. Setting up these pules will be approximately as difficult as setting up
a set of functions in a
spreadsheet. The Accounting Engine team expects this to be consistent with the
skill-set of an
Accounting or Finance person welt versed in Excel or Lotus.
Please note that much of the difficulty in ca~ulating lease and Loan
accounting entries lies within
the Pricing or Financial Modelling Tool, SuperTrump. The complexity for the
Accounting Engine
lies in finding a syntax to use the data created by. SuperTrump, previous
accounting entries and
the operating system.

The Event Modifier is used to provent the need for hard-coding special
conditions that need to
apply to a specific JE. The. Event ModNier describes the conc~itlons that must
apply before a
Oualitied Event Gne evaluates to true.
The Event Modifier wiN name the exception condition and define how the AE will
recognize the
data to be evaluated by the Event Pnxassor.
E.g. Fee codes in PMS, may be.represented as Event Modifiers.
Role:
The AE administrator enters this information. This information needs to be
communicated to LT.
to ensure that the corresponding iMortnation is passed from the operational
(ATLAS) system.
Any AE user or developer can view this information.
Frequency I Volume:
Oetinition and Maintenance is primarily s set-up task used by the AE
administrates..
The Event Processor will refer to the Event Modifier every time an event. is
processed. This is a
high volume activity.
Input I Output Data:
Every Event modifier will be comprised of one or more event detail lines that
will be used when
processing this Event Modifier.
~ual'rfied Event Lines will display the Event Modifier by name.
The Event Processor will need to retrieve the Event Modifiers as effy as
poss~le. The.
Event Processor needs to evaluate ail lines in the Event Modifier to true
before it recognizes the
Event Modifier as valid for an Asset. E.g. Event Modfier Sample t .
Source Field R. Op. Value
pE Priix~pal . > 0
StdPamnl.ist LoanType = . SBA
In this example the Event Pnxessor will check the principal field (in the AE
datsbase) to see if it
greater than 0. then N wia resolve the StdPartnList to find loan type and see
if the value is SBA. If
both of are true then Event Modifier Sample 1 is true.
~ea~er
Event Modifier Name: will be referrod to by ATLAS when evoking the Event
Processor, as a
selectable field on the CuaIN'red Event window, and used by the Event
Prnoessor to
evaluate CIuaIN'~ed Event lines.

The order of the Event Modifier Lines impacts the processing of the Event
Modifier. It is
important to be able to insert or delete any line and to maintain the order of
the lines as
they are entered or updated on the Event Modifier Maintenance window.
Event Modifier Line Source: There are two valid souroes of data for an Event
Modifier line: an AE
field or the StdParmList from the Event Product.

process.
Notes:
