  Key Concepts: 
  Add-on haircut is a feature of the FS-LMS Liquidity Management Suite (LMS) that allows users to set a haircut percentage for each add-on transaction. This percentage is used to calculate the amount of funds that must be held in reserve for each add-on transaction. The haircut percentage is applied to the total amount of the add-on transaction and the resulting amount is held in reserve. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the add-on haircut feature, users must first set a haircut percentage for each add-on transaction. This can be done by navigating to the “Settings” tab in the LMS and selecting “Add-on Haircut” from the dropdown menu. Once the haircut percentage has been set, it will be applied to all future add-on transactions. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that the add-on haircut feature only applies to add-on transactions and not to regular transactions. Additionally, it is important to remember that the haircut percentage must be set before any add-on transactions are made in order for it to take effect.
