2.10 Issuer Maintenance

This section contains the following topics:

2.10.1 Invoking the Issuer Maintenance Screen

A customer is granted credit on the basis of his/her credit worthiness. The credit worthiness of a customer depends on the assets constituting the customer’s portfolio. The type of collateral that a customer offers can be in the form of marketable or non-marketable securities. Marketable collaterals, driven by market forces, tend to fluctuate unpredictably. You may hence need to monitor your bank’s exposure to issuers of such collateral.

The details of the issuer and limit for his securities can be defined using the ‘Issuer Maintenance’ screen. You can invoke the ‘Issuer Maintenance’ screen by typing ‘GEDISSUR’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking the adjoining arrow button.

Limits for the issuers of Collateral can be setup at the following two levels:

Issuer Code

Each Issuer whose securities the bank accepts should be assigned a unique code. The Issuer will be identified by this code. This code can also be used to retrieve information about the Issuer. Specify the Issuer Code here.

Overall Limit

Specify an Overall Limit for the issuer here. This limit indicates the maximum limit beyond which your bank would not like to expose itself to the Issuer.

An issuer can issue different types of market based securities; these could be debentures, shares, bonds etc. By defining an overall limit for an Issuer, the bank can limit its exposure to the issuer.

When the total of all the collateral given by the customer in the form of market- based securities exceeds the overall limit specified for the Issuer, the system will show an appropriate message indicating that the limit has been exceeded.

Overall Limit Currency

Specify the currency in which the Overall Limit is specified.

Issuer Identification Number

Select the Issuer Identification Number if any, from the adjoining option list.

The option list for 'Issuer Identification Number' displays only those customers that belong to the bank and those that have been created in the application using the screen 'Customer Maintenance' (STDCIF) with the checkbox 'Issuer Customer' enabled.

Issuer Details

Specify in brief any additional details of the issuer.

Issuer Limits for Collateral Types

An Issuer of Securities may issue different types of securities. These can be used by a customer as collateral for credit availed from the bank. The securities used as collateral can be debentures, shares, bonds, commercial papers etc. These securities can therefore be classified under different Collateral Types too.

For each security type that your bank accepts as collateral from the issuer, you can specify a limit indicating the maximum exposure amount (in value) to the issuer for this security type.

When the total of the collateral given by the customer in the form of a particular collateral type exceeds the limit set for the Issuer, the system will show you a notification.

You can define Issuer Limits for different collateral types under Issuer Limits. You can maintain several collateral types here, with their respective Limit Currencies and Limit Amounts.

Collateral Type

Select the collateral type for which issuer limits are being specified.

Limit Currency

Select the limit currency from the adjoining option list.

Limit Amount

Specify the limit amount for that collateral type in the limit currency.

This can later be linked to 'Securities Maintenance' screen (GEDSECTY) for choosing the issuer code while maintaining the security.

2.11 Securities Maintenance

This section contains the following topics:

2.11.1 Invoking the Securities Maintenance Screen

The credit facilities granted to the customers of the bank under a credit line can be backed by the securities that the customer offers as collateral. You can maintain the details of all such securities in the LCM module. These details can then be used for determining the:

Since market based securities (Marketable Securities) are driven by market forces, the price of such securities tends to rise or fall in value. These fluctuations have a direct effect on the collateral value of the security. You can update the value of the collateral if the value of the security that backs it fluctuates beyond the increase and decrease sensitivity that has been specified.

You can capture details of marketable securities in the ‘Securities’ screen as shown below. You can invoke the ‘Securities Maintenance’ screen by typing ‘GEDSECTY’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking the adjoining arrow button.

 

Details of the marketable security that your bank accepts as collateral can specified in the above screen.

Security Code

Assign a unique ID to identify the security. This ID is called the Security Code. This ID is used while maintaining Collateral for a market value based Security.

Description

Describe in brief the security maintained.

Equity Base

Here you can specify the equity base for the security i.e. the total amount raised by the issue of this security. This entry is for information purposes only.

For example, Gem granites have come out with Debentures 98 and have raised US $1 Million through this issue. This US $1M that Gem Granites has raised constitutes the equity base for Debentures 98.

Price Increase Sensitivity and Price Decrease Sensitivity

If the value of collateral is backed by a marketable security (whose value is driven by market forces) you may want to revalue the collateral, so that its value reflects the current market price of the security, which backs it. To do so, you should specify your sensitivity to the security.

The price sensitivity of a security is expressed as a percentage. You should specify the percentage increase or decrease (the upper and lower limits) above or below the current market price, which should trigger the revaluation process. The revaluation process revaluates the collateral if the price of the securities that backs it fluctuates above or below the sensitivity you have defined.

Price Increase Sensitivity denotes the percentage increase in the market price that should trigger a revaluation of the Collateral. This means, if the current market price of the security rises above the old market price by the percentage you have defined as the Increase sensitivity for the security, then the revaluation process happens.

For example, Consider a case wherein you have specified the price increase sensitivity for Debentures 98 to be 15%. If the market price of the security has increased from $100 to $125. At this rise in the market price of the security (which is 25% above the old market value), the revaluation process will be triggered off, so that the Collateral value of the security reflects its current market value.

Price Decrease Sensitivity denotes the percentage decrease in the market price of the security that should trigger a revaluation of the Collateral. This means, if the current market price of the security falls below the old market price by the percentage you have defined as the decrease sensitivity for the security, the revaluation process happens.

For example, Consider a case wherein you had specified the price decrease sensitivity of Debentures 98 to be 15%. If the market price of the security has decreased from US $100 to US $75. At this fall in the market price of the security (which is 33.33% below the old market value of the security), the revaluation process will be triggered off, so that the Collateral value of the security reflects it s current market price.

Currency

Specify the currency to be associated with the Security using the list available here. Once authorized this entry cannot be changed.

Face Value

Specify the face value of the security. A maximum of 50 numeric characters are allowed here.

Collateral Type

Specify the collateral type here.

Issuer Code

Specify the issuer code for the customer for whom the securities are collected. The list of issuers is available here.

Start Date and Expiry Date

Specify Start date and Expiry Date of the security in these fields

Limit Amount

Specify the limit amount for the particular security.

Nominal Value Based

Select this check box if the collateral value is to be calculated on the nominal value based for a particular security.

Security Price

If the security is quoted in different markets, its value would differ in different markets. You can maintain the various market prices of the security under the Security Price table.

You can specify the following details here:

This can later be linked to 'Collaterals Maintenance' screen (GEDCOLLT) for maintaining market value based collaterals.

Collateral Value

The collateral value depends on whether the security is Market Value based or Non-Market Value based.

If it is market value based then the collateral value is calculated as shown in the following examples.

Example

Input in case of a nominal quoted security:

Nominal Amount Price Code Market Price Collateral Value [(Market price/100) * Nominal Amount]

10,00,000

BOM1

65

(65/100) * 10,00,000=650000

5,00,000

BOM2

70

(70/100) * 5,00,000= 350000

7,00,000

BOM3

80

(80/100) * 7,00,000= 560000

Input in case of a unit quoted security:

Number of Units Price Code Market Price Collateral Value (Number of Units x Market price)

65

BOM1

120

7800

70

BOM2

130

9100

40

CAL1

95

3800

If it is Non-Market Value based then the user has to enter the collateral value manually.

Limit Contribution

On save of the collateral, system calculates the amount contribution that will be applicable for the collateral after applying the hair cut percentage on the collateral value.

Example

Collateral is valued at $1000, and you wish to offer the customer credit only worth $ 980. This amount is 98% of the collateral contribution.

(1000 - 980) / 1000 = 2 % is the Hair cut percentage

This means you want to have a lendable margin of 98%.

For instance, if you enter the lendable margin percentage, then based on the value you enter, the hair cut will be calculated as described above and the limit contribution will be calculated.

Start Date and End Date

Specify the tenor of the collateral using the Start Date and End Date fields. The collateral is considered effective only during this period.

The start date indicates the date from which the collateral becomes effective. The end date that you specify indicates the date on which the collateral ceases to exist. On the end date, the credit limit, of the credit line backed by the collateral, will be reduced by the amount that the collateral contributes to the credit line.

Revision Date

Specify the date on which this collateral has to be revisited for review.

Revaluation Date

Specify the date on which the next revaluation has to be done.

Revaluate Collateral

Select the check box if the collateral is to be revaluated.

Category Name

Select the name of the category from the adjoining option list.

Utilization Amount

The system computes and displays the utilization amount to the Collateral, if a collateral is directly linked to a contract or account and not through a pool.

Available Amount

The system defaults the available amount for the collateral, on save of the collateral record.

Block Amount

When the collateral is linked to the collateral pool, the system computes and displays the amount to be blocked. The blocked amount is computed based on the linked percentage or linked amount specified when a collateral is linked to a Collateral Pool.

For example, Collateral ‘Collat1’ is created with collateral value of 10000 USD. And 60% of Collat1 is linked to a Collateral Pool, then the blocked amount of the collateral is updated as 6000 (i.e., 60% of 10000). The available amount of collateral is updated as 4000(10000-6000). The available amount of the collateral is arrived by using the below mentioned calculation

Available amount = Collateral value – utilization – blocked amount.

The available amount of pool is increased to the extent of linked amount in the pool currency. Any utilization to the pool will only impact the available amount and the utilization of the pool and not the collateral.

Commitment Reference Number

Specify the commitment reference number.

Collateral Zip Code

Specify the zip code of the collateral.

Branch

By default, the branch code in which collateral is created is displayed here and you cannot modify this value.

100 – Haircut (%).

Seniority of Claims

Specify the seniority of bank’s claim on the property.

Charge Type

Specify the charge type.

User Reference Number

Specify the User Reference Number for the collateral.

Secured Type

Indicate the Collateral Exposure Type here. A particular collateral category can be of a Secured or Unsecured or Liquid Type.

Available

This check box will be checked by default, indicating that the collateral is available for linking to the collateral pool. You can uncheck this so as to manually freeze this collateral.

If the ‘Available’ check box is unchecked then the collateral will be frozen i.e. it will not be available for subsequent linkages to new collateral pools. The collateral’s current links to collateral pools will not be affected.

Note

Sharing Required

Check this box to indicate that the collateral can be shared among several liabilities. If you choose this option, you can specify the details of such liabilities in the ‘Shared Details’ screen.

If this option is chosen then in collateral maintenance for a collateral pool, the list of collaterals will include shared collaterals too. As part of Collateral Revaluation, pools with the shared collaterals will be considered for revaluation.

Auto Pool Create

Check this box if you wish to automatically create a collateral pool as and when you create collateral. To facilitate this, it is essential that the ‘Available’ option be checked for the collateral. The system then creates a collateral pool with the following characteristics when you save the record:

Note

You cannot modify this option after you authorize the collateral.

Specify the Pool Code here. The pool code assigned to each collateral pool can be linked to a Liability while creating credit limits.

Pool Description

Specify a brief description of the collateral pool here.

Pool Currency

Specify the currency in which the Collateral Pool has to be maintained.

Available Amount

On save of the collateral pool record, system defaults the available amount for the collateral pool. It is the difference between Pool Amount and Pool Utilized.

Description (Collateral Pool Linkages)

The description for the collateral, as maintained in the 'Collaterals Maintenance' screen gets defaulted here based on the selected 'Collateral Code'.

Order

Specify the order for collateral utilization.

Type

The type for the collateral, as maintained in the 'Collaterals Maintenance' screen gets defaulted here based on the selected 'Collateral Code'

Branch Code

The branch code for the branch where the collateral is maintained in the 'Collaterals Maintenance' screen gets defaulted here based on the selected 'Collateral Code'.

Collateral Utilization

System updates the collateral utilization for each of the collateral codes linked in the 'Collateral Pool Linkages', based on the utilization, when the collateral pool comprising the collateral is linked to the facility.

Mortgage Initiated

This option will be checked automatically for collateral and collateral pool created as a result of authorization of mortgage account and you cannot modify it.

Auto Facility Create

Check this box to indicate that a facility should be created automatically for the given Liability number with line code as pool code.

Note

Under ‘Collateral Pool Linkages’ you can add the different collaterals pooled in for the particular Liability.

To add a new collateral click ‘Plus’ button, specify the relevant details and save the record.

To delete an existing collateral, select it and then click ‘Minus’ button and save the record.

While creating collateral pools, remember the following:

You must maintain the following details for each of the collateral.

Collateral Code

Select the collateral code from the adjoining option list.

If the 'Linked Percent Number', is specified, on save of the record, system defaults the 'Linked Amount' calculated as Linked Percentage of 'Collateral Contribution'.

If the 'Linked Amount' is specified, on save of the record, system defaults the 'Linked Percent' calculated as percentage of 'Linked Amount' out of the 'Collateral Contribution.

Collateral Currency

The currency in which the collateral has been maintained will be displayed when a collateral code has been picked.

Collateral Contribution

The collateral amount which has been maintained will be displayed when a collateral code has been picked.

Linked Amount

When a collateral pool comprising the collateral is linked to the facility, the system computes and displays the amount to be linked. The linked amount of Collateral pool is computed based on the pool percentage or pool amount specified when a collateral pool is linked to a Facility.

For example, Collateral Pool ‘Pool1’ is created with pool amount of 6000 USD. And 60% of Pool1 is linked to a Facility, then the linked amount of the collateral pool is updated as 3600 (i.e., 60% of 6000). The available amount of collateral pool is updated as 2400 (6000-3600). The available amount of the collateral pool is arrived by using the below mentioned calculation

Available amount = pool amount – pool utilization – linked amount.

The available amount of facility is increased to the extent of linked amount in the facility currency. Any utilization to the facility will only impact the available amount and the utilization of the facility and not the collateral pool or the underlying collateral.

Pool Amount

The system computes and displays the utilization amount to the Collateral Pool, if a collateral Pool is attached to a contract or account and not through a facility.

Pool Utilized

This field displays the pool amount that has been linked to a various credit lines, hence displaying the total pool amount utilized at any point in time.

Linked Amount Pool Currency

.System defaults the 'Linked Amount Pool Currency' for each of the collaterals added in the 'Collateral Pool Linkages' as the linked amount in the pool currency.

For Example, you have linked the pool ‘LOANP001’ to the liability ‘BIRLA0001’. LOANP001 is in turn backed by the following collaterals:

Collateral Code Ccy Collateral Amount Linked Amount
ISDP16924 DEM 100,000 75,000
AC777228 GBP 55,000 55,000
COLSHRS15 INR 2,000.000 1,500,000
COLHS819 USD 1,500,000 1,500,000

Now the pool currency specified is USD. Therefore the system does the necessary calculations and converts the linked amount into the currency of the pool and displays the pool amount in the respective field.

Linked Percent Number

The part of the collateral amount which has to be linked to the pool can be specified as a percentage here. On save of the record, if Linked Percent Number is specified, system defaults the 'Linked Amount' calculated as Linked Percent Number Percentage of 'Collateral Contribution'.

Available Interest Rate

The interest rate maintained for the collateral code in ‘Collateral Type Maintenance’ screen gets defaulted here,

Interest Spread

Specify the interest spread to be applied on the customer account. The interest spread can be zero. If the collateral attached is a term deposit, then on rollover of the term deposit the interest spread is defaulted to the spread applicable for the term deposit on rollover.

Rate of Interest

The rate of interest applicable on the customer account when customer uses the overdraft facility against the collateral type is derived as follows:

Rate of Interest = Available Interest Rate + Interest Spread + Customer spread

Expiry Date

On save of the record, system defaults the expiry date based on the end date of the collateral maintained. If the collateral attached is of a deposit then on rollover of the term deposit the maturity date of the term deposit is updated as the expiry date of the collateral.

Note

2.16 Facilities Maintenance

This section contains the following topics:

2.16.1 Invoking the Facilities Maintenance Screen

You can maintain credit limits for a Line Code - Liability Code combination in the ‘Facilities Maintenance’ screen.

You can invoke the ‘Facilities Maintenance’ screen by typing ‘GEDFACLT’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking the adjoining arrow button.

Specify the following details:

Liability Number

Specify the Liability number here.

Line Code

Specify the Line Code to which the liability ID is to be associated with. Allocating credit limits for the Line-Liability combination can be done. The customer(s) who fall under this Liability Code will in turn avail credit facilities under this Credit line.

By linking a Credit Line to a Liability code the customer also gets linked to the Credit Line. This is true because a Liability code has been assigned to every credit seeking customer and the credit facilities granted to the customer are defined and tracked against this code.

Serial Number

Each time a customer - line code combination is specified, LCM module assigns a unique serial number to the combination. This serial number is unique to the line-liability code combination. Thus, for every new record entered for a Line-Liability combination, a new serial number is generated. The Line - Liability - Serial number forms a unique combination.

Facility Branch

By default, the system displays the branch code in which facility has been created. You can change the branch code from the adjoining option list before saving the facility. Once the facility is saved, you cannot modify the branch code.

Description

Give a brief description of the facility here.

Main Line Code

Specify the main line code if the created facility is a sub line.

If the main line code is not specified, then the system defaults the facility code as the main line code.

Line Currency

Specify the currency in which the facility is defined. The currency that has been selected will have the following implications:

Once the entry is authorized you cannot change the currency.

If the limit allotted to this Line-Liability combination can be utilized by accounts and transactions in currencies other than the limit currency, the limit utilization will be arrived at by using the mid rate for the currency pair as of that day.

Category

Select the facility category from the list available here.The list displayed here is based on maintenance done in 'Category Maintenance' screen.

Revolving Line

Check this box if the credit line is Revolving. A revolving credit line indicates that a repayment of the utilized credit should reinstate the credit limit of the customer. You can modify the preference, as required.

Netting Required

Check this box if netting is required for the facility. It is unchecked by default.

Unadvised

Check this box if the facility is unadvised.

Note

Charges can be collected on the utilization transactions for facilities that are unadvised. For this purpose SDEs ADVISED_LINE and COMMITMENT_CUR_UTIL can be used while setting up the charge rule at the CL product creation level.

Funded

Indicate whether the line is fund based or non fund based.

Shadow Limit

Select this check box to indicate that utilization amounts should be updated only for the facility and mainlines for the facility. Thus, when a utilization request is processed, the system updates the utilization amount only at the facility level and leaves the utilization amount at the liability level untouched.

The mainline and sub-lines of a facility need to have the same preference. This implies that you can enable this option for a sub-line only if the mainline has this option already enabled. Similarly, you cannot create a sub-line as a ‘Shadow Limit’ if the mainline does not have this facility.

Note

You cannot modify this option after you authorize the facility.

Bulk Payment Required

Check this box to indicate if bulk payment is required. If you specify here that bulk payment is required for the liner, then the same is maintained at the ‘Bulk Payments’ screen.

2.16.2 Schedules Button

The limit assigned to a customer under a revolving line can be reduced. You can define these details while maintaining limits for a customer. From the Limits Maintenance screen, click ‘Schedules’ button.

For a liability code and credit line combination, you can define limit schedules and indicate the limit that is applicable for the period. You can enter a negative limit amount. The ‘Limit Date’ should not be earlier than the ‘Limit start date’ and later than the ‘Limit Expiry Date’.

The Facility batch which runs at BOD checks the limits schedule for a facility and if a schedule is due on the current date in the branch. If so, it updates the limit amount for the facility for which the schedule is due with the schedule limit amount.

For example, you have defined a limit schedule for a facility for your client ABC Corporation where the Limit Amount initially is USD 1 million and the start date for the facility is Jan 01, 2009.The schedule is as shown below:

Limit Date Limit Amount
Feb 01, 2009 500000
Mar 02, 2009 800000
April 03, 2009 400000
May 04, 2009 900000

In this case, during BOD on Feb 01, 200r, the limit mount will be updated to USD 500,000 and on Mar 02, 2009 it will be modified again to USD 800,000. If the batch does not run on Mar 02, 2009, it will be run on Mar 03, 2009. Accordingly, the ‘Scheduled Limit Amount’ defined for Mar 02, 2009 Schedule will be updated as Facility Limit Amount.

During EOD, the system processes limits schedules and revision process takes place for the facilities as per the scheduled date. It processes the limit schedules till next working day and marks all the schedules till date as processed.

When the Facility Start Date and Schedule Date falls on the same day, then on save of Facility record, you will get an override message for confirmation on updating the limit amount of Facility as per the schedule amount.

The following table explains various situations in customer restriction.

Scenario System behaviour
Customer linked to a facility is different from the customer linked to the collat­eral If an unshared single collateral is linked to a limit, then the cus­tomer of the collateral must be the same as the facility customer. If the customers are different, the system will not allow you to save the record. In case a collateral pool is linked to a facility and collaterals in the collateral pool belong to different customers, then at least one of them must be the customer of the facility. Otherwise, the system displays a configurable exception or error. This can be configured as error or override based on the bank policy and business prac­tice.
Facility utilization trig­gered by external systems or Oracle FLEXCUBE in ELCM embedded environ­ment The system validates the customer number of the contract/account from which the request was initiated. If the customer of the contract/account is the same as the facility customer, then the facility utilization continues. If the customer is different, then the system displays an error message.
Facility utilization in Liability - Pool - Facil­ity - Collateral linkage If a collateral pool having collaterals of different customers is linked to a facility, then utilization request is allowed only from customers linked to that facility. The collaterals can be directly utilized by all customers of the collaterals included in the pool. One customer of a shared liability cannot contribute a shared col­lateral to link to the facility of the other customer within the same liability. If a collateral is shared by two liabilities, then that collateral can be linked to the facilities of a customer who belongs to one of those liabilities. In case of direct utilization of a shared collateral, the collateral can be utilized by the customer who provided the collateral and / or the customers of the liability with whom the collateral is being shared.
Facility transfer During limit transfer process, if customer of each limit is different, the system displays a configurable override message. You can either allow such limit transfers or not by appropriately configur­ing the exception.

For a main line, you can:

2.16.10.2 Maintaining Tenor Restrictions for a Sub-Line

You can define a sub-line tenor list and also define limits for each of them. To recall, a sub-line falls under the umbrella of the Main Line to which it is linked. Therefore, the maximum tenor that you define for a sub-line should not exceed the maximum tenor defined for the main line to which it is linked. The limit amount that you define for each sub-line tenor cannot be higher than the tenor limit defined for the main line to which it is linked.

Tenors and limits can be placed at both the sub-line and main line levels. But the maximum tenor of a sub-line cannot exceed the maximum tenor defined for the main line to which it is linked.

Example

You define a Line LOANS and link it to the Liability Code CREATIVITY INC. (the Liability and the Customer Code in this case are the same). The limit set for this line - LOANS is $ 1million.

Main Line Code
LOANS

You define a credit limit of $ 1 million for Creativity Inc. under this Credit Line. You also specify the tenor Restrictions for the line to be the following 30D, 60D, and 90D.

Main Line Tenor List Limit
30D 0.5M
60D 0.3M
90D 0.25M

The loans that this customer can avail can be further classified into Short, Medium and Long Term Loans.

For our example we shall make Short Term, Medium Term and Long Term loans as sub-lines under the Main Line Loans. It is only when you link these credit lines to the Credit Line Loans that it becomes a Main line.

Sub-line Code
STLOANS
MTLOANS
LTLOANS

You can define a tenor list and have tenor based limits for both the Main Line and Sub-lines. So we shall also maintain tenor based limits for the sub-line STLOANS (as shown in the table below):

Sub-line Tenor List Limit
30D 0.3M
60D 0.2M
90D 0.1M

You can add to the list of tenors maintained for a Main Line by specifying the Tenor restriction under the head Tenor and clicking on the ‘Plus’ button. If you want to remove a tenor restriction from the list of tenor restrictions highlight it and click on the ‘Minus’ button.

Remarks

You can enter your remarks associated with the transaction.

2.30 Dual Authorization of Utilization Transaction

During Utilization Transaction process if the utilization amount crosses the breach amount specified, then the transaction requires dual authorization. Transactions which are breached could be either authorized using BPEL process flow Credit Exception management or using UI multi Auth screen. During implementation either the BPEL process needs to be used or the screen here needs to be used. Both can’t be used at the same time. You can specify the facility maintenance breach amount and breach percentage in LCM.

When the transaction amount inputted is more than breach amount or percentage, during utilization process LCM would flag dual authorized indicator and updates the dual authorization error code as part of response. If response from the LCM contains dual authorization error code, then Oracle FLEXCUBE logs the transaction details in dual authorization tables and processes it completely.

The authorization for the breached (dual auth) transactions will be authorized using function ID ‘GEDDAUTH’ of LCM.

Till the dual authorization happens, Oracle FLEXCUBE does not allow you to authorize the main transaction. You can also perform dual authorization using Oracle FLEXCUBE screen, but system performs certain validations to ensure that Oracle FLEXCUBE does not authorize the LCM breach transactions.

Example

Assume that for liability ‘TATA’ line ‘TATABILL’ is created with below details.

Limit amount - 10,000.00

Collateral amount - 0.00

Breach percentage - 110 ( which is equal to 11,000)

Brach amount - 15,000

The system calculated values:

Available amount - 10,000.00

Utilized amount - 0

Assume that as part of BC, a contact line ‘TATABILL’ is linked. As part of the contact data input, when you link the line ‘TATABILL’ and press ‘Save’ button during transaction processing in LCM, if the transaction requires dual authorization then the system displays this information to the user.

Till the dual authorization error code (breached transaction) is authorized in LCM, Oracle FLEXCUBE does not allow the contact to be authorized. In case, if the breached transaction is rejected, then you have to delete the contact Information irrespective of whether the error code has been authorized or Contracts requiring multilevel authorization can be viewed using Oracle FLEXCUBE function ‘OVDAUDET.

If you delete the dual authorization contract in Oracle FLEXCUBE, then the system deletes the contract details in Oracle FLEXCUBE and LCM will delete the utilization LCM.

Note

LCM deletes the utilization transaction if any dual authorization error is not authorized and the system updates the status as ‘Ignored’ so that this information is not shown to the user. However if the error code is authorized, then this information is ignored.

2.31 Liabilities Merger

Note

You can configure the credit desktop alerts for CIF query. If credit desktop alerts is config­ured for accounts and contracts, then it will not be displayed and operationally controlled.

Final SQL Statement

Based on the criteria code selected, the system displays the final SQL statement.

Based on the review rules maintained in the ITDACMNT screen, alerts can be defined in the ITDADMNT screen. These alerts are generated for a bank user and are generated on a daily basis as per the frequency set in the Alert Definition Screen (ITDADMNT). Based on the parameters defined in the ITDADMNT screen, when a review rule is satisfied, then an alert is triggered in the user dashboard or Credit Desktop (GEDSKTOP). In the user Dashboard, when an alert is generated, the ‘Review’ or ‘Dismiss’ buttons are displayed against the alert. You can either Review or Dismiss these alerts by clicking the relevant buttons as shown in the following screen shot.

The Review button is displayed for only Rule 1, Rule 3, and Rule 5. On clicking the ‘Review’ button the limit review process flow is initiated. For the remaining rules, besides the limit review rules, the ‘Dismiss’ button is displayed. If you click the ‘Review’ or ‘Dismiss’ buttons against any alert, then the system removes the alert from the Dashboard. If the target user at alert definition is ‘ALLROLES’, then the alert generated is available for all the users accessing the dashboard. If any user clicks the ‘Review’ or ‘Dismiss’ button, then the system removes the alert from the dashboard and the remaining users will be unable to view the same alert in the dashboard.

If a user dismisses an alert and no corrective action is taken within a day, then the alert is regenerated the next day with a new effective date that is considered to be the current date. The alerts are generated based on the ITALRM and ITPURGE batch jobs. The frequency for these alert batch jobs should be set as daily in the Alert Definition Screen. All the alerts that are reviewed, dismissed, or have expired are archived in the ITPURGE batch. This archival is an automated process which happens based on the system date (physical date) and time.

Note

The dashboard and relevant alerts are displayed for only those users for whom the ‘Show Dashboard and Alerts’ flag is set as Yes in the Home Page

In the Credit Desktop screen, the ‘Review’ button is enabled for all facilities mapped to a liability and is not only applicable for those facilities where alerts are generated. If a facility has a CIF ID mapped to it, then the CIF ID will be listed. The ‘Dismiss’ button option is not available in the Credit Desktop. Also, all alerts are available in a report format with ‘Exception’ or ‘Warning’ stated against each alert.

For more information on Credit Desktop, refer to the section “Credit Desktop” in this User Manual.

For more information on defining Alerts refer to the section “Defining Alerts” in this User Manual.

2.33 Alert Selection Criteria

This section contains the following topics

2.33.1 Viewing Alert Selection Criteria Screen

You can define alert selection criteria in Oracle FLEXCUBE. The system identifies the set of customers who receive the alerts based on the selection criteria.

The system generates the alerts based on the selection criteria defined in ‘Alert Selection Criteria’ screen. To invoke this screen, type ‘ITDACMNT’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application toolbar and click the adjoining arrow button

Specify the following details:

Criteria Code

Select a unique code that identifies the criterion that you are defining. To retrieve the criteria code click the F7 and F8 function keys. This code will be the unique identifier of the criterion based on which alert is generated.

The system will not allow you to modify the criteria code after saving it.

Description

Specify a brief description of the selection criterion that you are defining.

Select

Specify the ‘Select’ part of the selection criterion.

The criterion must be defined as an SQL statement with aliases. You need not enter the keyword ‘SELECT’.

The alias naming convention is ‘ColX’. Here, ‘X’ refers to the sequential number of the column in the ‘Select’ clause.

Examples are s1.cust_ac_no Col1 ,s1.cust_no Col2 ,s1.ccy Col3 ,s1.account_class Col4 ,s1.ACY_OPENING_BAL Col5, s2.customer_name1 Col6, s2.language Col7, s2.default_media Col8

Based on the columns defined under ‘Select’ and ‘From and Where Clause’, the system forms the final SQL statement. You need to ensure that the final SQL statement is a syntactically correct SQL statement.

From and Where Clause

Specify the remaining part of the selection criterion. You need not enter the keyword ‘From’.

Based on the columns defined under ‘Select’ and ‘From and Where Clause’, the system forms the final SQL statement. You need to ensure that the final SQL statement is a syntactically correct SQL statement.

Note

The ‘From and Where Clause’ values and ‘Alert Criteria Code’ values are already pre-de­fined in the system as these are factory shipped values.

Final SQL Statement

The system concatenates the values defined under ‘Select’ and ‘From and Where Clause’ and displays the final SQL statement. This must be a valid SQL statement.

The system generates the alert messages based on this final SQL statement.

Once you have captured the details, save the record.

To define the criteria as SQL statement, you need to have sufficient understanding about the data model of Oracle FLEXCUBE and SQL programming language.
