+# *Product Model - Qualification Functions for Zero-coupon Swaps*
+
+_Background_
+
+The qualification function for a zero-coupon swap is too restrictive in CDM, since it requires that all the payout legs should feature one unique payment at Term. Normally a zero coupon only points out that at least one leg has a unique payment made at term.
+
+This release fixes this, along with some inaccurate provisions of qualifying functions regarding zero-coupon swaps. In addition, a new `Qualify_Transaction_ZeroCoupon_KnownAmount` function was added to facilitate the classification of Zero Coupon swaps with a Known Amount.
+
+This release also removes the use of conditional synonym mappings from FpML to CDM of the `PrincipalPayments` element for Zero-Coupon Swaps with Known Amount cases. The `Qualify_SubProduct_FixedFloat` qualification function has also been updated to not require the use of this `PrincipalPayments` element.
