ERP Internals/Modules/Bond Manager
Bond Manager keeps track of the enterprise’s bondholders and pays interest on bonds. Only large ERP packages have a Bond Manager module. Normally only a publicly traded company would use this module.
Tables

There is at least one contact record for every bondholder and there can be several. The second table is the Transaction table which contains one record for every transaction (issue, sale, interest, adjustment). There is at least one transaction for every bondholder and there can be many.
