When you add a Stage record, at least one date field must be populated. Actual Date is AMIS required when the Stage = Closed.

When a Financial Forecast is sent via SmartDox, if the Original Projected Date is populated for a Debt record (and that record does not have a Debt Instrument Stage created for "Closed"), the system will create a new Debt Instrument Stage record and populate the Original Projected Date.

Some notes about the stage options:

  • The only Stage options available for a Pre-Development Commitment Debt Instrument are Closed, Maturity, Maturity Extension, and Repay. 

    • A Stage record of Maturity must exist if you are adding a Stage record of Maturity Extension.
