Issue
A property purchase deposit was paid, but the property failed to settle. How do I process this in Class?
Resolution
In Class you will need to:
Step 1: Create a Custom Holding Account
Step 2: Process Realised Accounting Gain/Loss Event to take up Capital Loss
Step 3: Match Transactions
Create a Custom Holding Account
Navigate to Fund Level > Investments > Custom Holding Account
- Select the relevant Capital Gain Classification, see example below
Another existing Custom Holding Account can be used for this scenario as well.
Process Realised Accounting Gain/Loss Event to take up Capital Loss
Navigate to Fund Level > Transactions > Realised Accounting Gain/Loss
- Create a business event, ensure the Custom Holding Account, Effective Date, Gain/Loss Amount , Capital Loss and CGT Classification fields are completed
Make sure you select the relevant CGT Classification in order to take up the Capital Loss in the Realised Capital Gain calculation.
Match Transactions
- Match off the Cash out transaction (which has been the property deposit) to the Realised Accounting Gain/Loss event.
