The rule in plain words
Increases due to origination and acquisition cannot be more than zero.
EBA checks it for 52 rows, from allowances for financial assets without increase in credit risk since initial recognition (Stage 1) (0010) to total allowance for debt instruments (0520). That makes 52 checks. A failure names the one that failed.

Increases due to origination and acquisition: Debt securities <= 0
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 12.01 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Debt securities, increases due to origination and acquisition can then be at most 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports 100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
