Absolute Values on Interest and Dividend Certificates and the impact of “negative” split categories
- The interest and dividend certificate will show all values as absolute values. If a split category is defined as a “minus”, it would appear on the certificate as an absolute value, and on the distribution split categories as a minus.
- Columns with zero values: All configured columns will appear on the Interest and Dividends Certificate, even if the value for a particular category is zero. Columns are not hidden or suppressed based on whether they contain a value.
- In the case where more than one split category is contained in a “column” on the certificate, their absolute values will be summed together to show on the certificate. For example here are two split categories on one section of the certificate.
The one is defined as “plus”:
The one defined as a plus will render on Distribution splits as a positive number:
In the certificate both categories in this section of the certificate, will have their absolute values summed. I.e. the positive R81.54 and the negative R4.73 are added together to show R86.27.
