Managing Facilities

This chapter provides an overview of facilities and discusses how to:

Define facilities
Monitor facilities

Note. Line of Credit and Commercial Paper facilities are covered in the Deal Management PeopleBook.

Understanding Facilities

A facility is a financial arrangement with a counterparty under which an established monetary amount is available for transacting deals. Similar to a contract, a facility contains pertinent information about the arrangement, such as default settlement instructions, term, review dates, and an expiration date.

With PeopleSoft banking functionality you can define facilities, associate fees to a facility, and periodically run the Monitor Expiring Facilities process (TR_FCLTY_RVW) to evaluate which of your organization's facilities are close to expiring.

Facility Review Workflow

If you have implemented the Facility Review workflow, when you run the Monitor Expiring Facilities process (TR_FCLTY_RVW), the system automatically routes expiring facilities to a defined user's worklist.

Defining Facilities

To define facilities information, use the following components:

Facilities component (FCLTY_DFN).
Facility Memo Attributes component (FCLTY_MEMO_ATTR).

Use the TR_FCLTY_BCI component interface to load data into the facilities tables.

To set up a facility, you define the types of attributes tracked and then establish the facility itself. You record fees that are associated with the facility by entering them online.

Note. You must define fee codes on the Fee Codes page prior to entering fees online.

Defining Facility Memo Types

Access the Memo Attributes page (Cash Management, Facilities, Facility Memo Attributes).

Data Type

Provide an attribute description and indicate its data type. Online edits validate the data type when you associate the attributes with a facility. Select from:

Date: Use for dates.

Long: Use for storing an unlimited number of characters.

Number: Use for positive numeric data.

Signed Num (signed number): Use for storing positive and negative numbers.

Text: Use for storing text attributes based on a database field. When you select this option, you can optionally specify a prompt table. This limits text entries to a list of values that are generated from the specified table. For example, using the prompt table INSTR_HEADER_TR limits entries to defined instruments.

Note. You must include Comments (CMTS) as a defined attribute for the Memo Attributes page to function correctly. CMTS is included in the system database; do not delete it.

Establishing Facilities

Access the Facility Definition page (Cash Management, Facilities, Facility Definition).

Note. Since facilities are generally associated with a particular counterparty, you may want to incorporate the counterparty code in the Facility ID field so that it's easy to distinguish between facilities.
