When recording bond transactions the share quantity should be 1/100th of the bond's face value. Bond prices are retrieved/recorded as a percentage of face value (around 100). A bond's value is calculated by Fund Manager the same as any other investment: Value = Shares * Price. Recording the share quantity as 1/100th the face value and having the pricing as a percentage of face value will provide the correct bond valuation.
Example:
You paid $985 for a bond with a $1000 face value. Record a purchase of 10 shares at a price of $98.5 for a transaction value of $985.
The above explanation and example assumes the investment property of "Face Value per Share" is set to the default of 100. Adjust accordingly if your bond has a different face value per share.
Notes on Accrued Interest:
If you pay or receive accrued interest with your bond transaction, enter this amount in the "Accrued Interest" field. For purchases, Fund Manager will record a negative interest income distribution for this amount. For redemptions, Fund Manager will record a positive interest income distribution. The option to enter accrued interest is available when entering a new transaction and your investment is set to a transaction entry preference of "commission fees" and the income style is set to "Bond Interest".
