ONLINE.ACTUAL.BAL: This field contains the current Actual Balance of the Account.

This is exactly the same as the actual balance at the start of day (Open Actual
Balance) plus the value of all the fully authorised entries since the start of day.
In a value dated accounting system, this balance is updated by future value dated
entries only during start of day processing of the value date, unlike the trade
dated systems where this field would be updated immediately on generation of the
entry. In both systems, forward entries or “F” entries would update this balance
only during batch processing of the respective value dates.

Account.
This is the same as the cleared balance at the start of day (Open Cleared Balance)

this balance on the BOOKING.DATE itself. The future dated credit entries hit this
balance only during start of day processing on the EXPOSURE.DATE. In a value dated
accounting system, both debit and credit future value dated entries update this
balance during start of day processing on the EXPOSURE.DATE. For credit and

AC.FWD.EXPOSURE.
