The Amortization Formula Definition maintenance program is used to define amortization types. For example over one year, two years, three years and months for example 6 months. A new formula can be created or an existing formula can be maintained or deleted. The formulas represent different amortization types defined at different title levels.

| Start from code/date |
Formula start from codes are established in TMSBP/AMT-STRT. This Control File is system defined. The following are examples of code. C= PROJECT CLOSE DATE I = IMMEDIATE L = WHICHEVER LATEST PUB DATE (Pub date and stock receipt comparison) N = NEVER O = OVERRIDE DATE P = PUBLICATION DATE R = RECEIPT DATE If using C=Project Close Date the result could be: Start period code . . . . . C PROJECT CLOSE DATE Start date . . . . . . . . n/a Duration/Rate mandatory If using C=Project Close Date the result could be: Start period code . . . . . C PROJECT CLOSE DATE Start date . . . . . . . . n/a Duration/Rate mandatory If using I=Immediate the result could be: Start period code . . . . . I IMMEDIATE Start date . . . . . . . . n/a Duration/Rate mandatory If using L=Whichever latest pub or stock receipt date the result could be: Start period code . . . . . L WHICHEVER LATEST PUB or STOCK RECEIPT Start date . . . . . . . . n/a Duration/Rate mandatory If using O=Override Date the result could be Start period code . . . . . O OVERRIDE DATE Start date . . . . . . . . 01/10/98 mandatory Duration/Rate mandatory Entry of the start date is required when using a Formula Start From code of O=Override. If using P=Publication Date the result could be Start period code . . . . . P PUBLICATION DATE Start date . . . . . . . . n/a Duration/Rate mandatory If using R=Receipt Date the result could be Start period code . . . . . R RECEIPT DATE Start date . . . . . . . . n/a Duration/Rate mandatory Enter the start period code which is to be used to determine the beginning of amortization. For example project close date. |
| Months duration / % rate |
Enter the amortization periods in months. If using C=project close date this uses the date from the Project and the percentage rate is used in the calculation. If using I=immediate the calculation is for the current period and duration is relevant to the calculation. If using L=whichever latest pub this uses the latest publication date or stock receipt date from the Project stock file and the percentage rate is used in the calculation. If using O=Override the date entered, the months duration and the percentage rate is used in the calculation. If using P=Publication date this uses the date from the Project or Title file and the months duration can be broken down into the respective periods. If using R=Receipt date this uses the date from the Stock file and the months duration can be broken down into the respective periods. The percentage rate must equal 100%. |
| Total | Calculated total of period and percentage rate. |
