The events that are to take place automatically are triggered off during what is called the Batch Process. The batch process is an automatic function that is run as a mandatory Beginning of Day (BOD) and/or End of Day (EOD) process. During EOD, the batch process should be run after end-of-transaction-input (EOTI) has been marked for the day, and before end-of-financial-input (EOFI) has been marked for the day. This chapter details the various batch operations that are done in this module.

16.1.1 Batch Process for Liquidating PDC Linked Schedules
You can configure the batch process for liquidating PDC linked schedules to process the payment of loan account components if the debit settlement mode is opted as PDC. This batch ‘PDDLNLIQ is run either as EOD or as an intraday batch. The batch processes the liquidation of all accounts for which the schedule date or PDC activation date and customer value date is less than the application date.
On the cheque date the clearing transaction triggers the following accounting entries:
| Debit/Credit | Amount | Accounting Role | Description | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Debit | Cheque Amount | CLRNG_ACCOUNT | Clearing Account | ||||
| Credit | Cheque Amount | CLRNG_OFS_ACCOUNT | Beneficiary Account |
During liquidation the beneficiary account of the PDC contract is used as Debit Settlement Bridge. The system passes accounting entries fro MLIQ as follows:
| Debit/Credit | Amount Tag | Accounting Role | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Debit | PRINCIPAL_LIQD | Beneficiary Account of PDC contract | |||
| Credit | PRINCIPAL_LIQD | Loan Account | |||
| Debit | MAIN_INT_LIQD | Beneficiary Account of PDC contract | |||
| Credit | MAIN_INT_LIQD | Main Interest Receivable |
Note
If a PDC is returned or bounced due to any reason then you can represent the same PDC for payment again.
