Thank you for your answer Zander. Can you also please provide some insight into how the GP's own capital commit gets registered into the system when he initiates the capital call to LPs?
Considering that the GP himself does not appear listed in the "Capital Commitment" table when he initiates a capital call (only LPs appear listed there), it makes sense to assume that steps 1 through 3 as you described them do not involve the GP (why would the GP need to send an email to himself, get an alert in his Decile account, etc, if he knows that in a capital call, he also needs to wire his share of the capital he committed?).
So that means we are now left with steps 4 through 6. As per your explanation, I would assume that the call on the GP's own capital commit will also be picked in the Accounting submenu "Cash Reconciliation", the accounting team will then validate the GP's transaction, the GP will be moved into the capital call pipeline "Funds Received", and finally the dollar value received from the GP will be shown in all "Capital Contributions" sections.
If the above is correct then I guess the answer to my question is that when a capital call to LPs is initiated, the GP gets roped in automatically to contribute his own share of the funds being called (as per his commit), and starting in step 4, gets handled the same way as any LP is… Can you please confirm this?
