Issue/Question
When I process the LEP to CLW script takeover corporate action there is a negative resultant book cost for LEP. How do I process this corporate action in Class?
Resolution/Answer
The suggested workaround is to:
- Process a Capital Call event (via Transactions > Investment Corporate Actions> Capital Call) for the negative book cost amount
- Create a custom holding account, and then process a Realised Accounting Gain event (via Transactions > Fund Expense > Realised Accounting Gain/Loss event)
- Match the 2 events above to remove the negative cost base
- Then process the corporate action event.
