Overview
When building a deal in K-SIM, the user can run individual
components of the structure and view the results for:
- K-PAT
- Run Scenarios
- Test Matrix
K-SIM will not run these pages automatically and requires
the user to manually run the function. When
a user modifies the inputs to one of these components, K-SIM provides a
notification banner that the results are no longer valid.
Viewing and Clearing Banners
If an input is modified that only impacts a single results
screen, the user must re-run that component to clear the banner and see updated
results.
- K-PAT banner:
Run K-PAT
- Scenario Inputs banner: Run Scenarios
- Test Matrix banner: Run Test Matrix
To clear this notification, the user must re-run the
component:
There are cases where changing an input can cause multiple
banners to appear, for example.
- Changing a deal date -> K-PAT, Run Scenarios, and
Test Matrix
- Uploading a new file -> K-PAT, Run Scenarios, and
Test Matrix
You will then see two banners on the top of the results
page, as the example below illustrates:
To clear both banners, the user should first re-run K-PAT to
view the updated K-WARF, Default and Recovery results. Then, the user should
Run Scenarios so that the cashflow engine can use the new K-PAT results.
There are some cases where a user may make multiple changes
such as a deal date (considered as K-PAT & Scenario Input changes) and a tranche
balance (Scenario Input change). If
desired, the user can run the scenarios without re-running K-PAT. This would run the cashflow engine using the
outdated K-PAT results and the new tranche balance. The Cashflow Results screens will continue to
display the K-PAT banner until K-PAT is re-run, necessitating a subsequent scenario
run to clear all the banners.
