You can amend certain details of a contract depending upon its authorization status:
From the Detailed View:
Make your amendments and save them. If you do not wish to save changes, exit the contract. It will retain the old values.
Note
If automatic authorization has been enabled for the contract function, as well as the logged in branch, profile of the user who is saving the amended contract record, and the user also has rights for both input and authorize operations, the record will be automatically authorized when the Save operation is performed.
For each amendment, a new version of the contract will be generated.
You can delete a contract that has been:
The Contract Detailed View:
You will be prompted to confirm the deletion. Once you confirm it, all the entries that have not been authorized will be deleted.
Often, you may have a situation where you need to create a contract that closely resembles an existing one. In such a case, instead of entering all the details for the contract, you can copy the details of one contract on to another, changing only those attributes that are different for the new contract.
From the Contract Detailed View you can copy the details of a contract onto a new one.
To copy a contract either:
When you copy a contract:
After you have made the relevant changes to the fields that have had the inputs copied on to them from the old product you can save your new product.
To Save either:
There may be a situation where you do not have the complete details of the contract you are entering. In such a case you can enter the details you have on hand and place the contract on Hold instead of saving it. You can perform this operation from the Contract Detailed View.
You need not authorize a contract that is on hold. During information retrieval, such a contract will be reported as Held.
To put a product on Hold either:
No accounting entries and advices will be generated for a contract on Hold and the incomplete contract details will remain in the system. When all the details of the contract are available, you can lift the Hold status on the contract and process it like any other contract.
When all the details of the contract are available, you can remove the Hold status on the contract by either:
After you have unlocked a contract put on Hold you can enter the necessary details and process the contract like any other contract.
Using the Contract Reversal function you can reverse out an authorized contract. Typically, you would use the contract reversal function, if the details of an authorized contract are erroneous. All accounting entries that were passed for the original contract will be reversed.
Note
The limits utilized by the original contract will be released.
The Contract Detailed View:
You will be prompted to confirm the reversal. Once you confirm it, all the accounting entries that have been passed for the contract will be reversed (this is done by passing the entries with a negative sign). These entries could be the contract initiation entries or any liquidation entries (interest, tax, etc.).
After the reversal has been done, you will be returned to the ‘Contract Detail View’ screen.
To save a contract after having captured its details, made modifications, copied it, etc. either:
Note
If automatic authorization has been enabled for the contract function, as well as the logged in branch, profile of the user who is saving the contract record, and the user also has rights for both input and authorize operations, the record will be automatically authorized when the Save operation is performed.
Any operation on a contract - input, copying, modification, value-dated changes, manual liquidation, rollover, reversal, etc., - has to be authorized by a user other than the one who performed the operation. All the contracts should be authorized before End of Day operations can begin. A contract on Hold does not need authorization.
From the Contract Summary View (when the contract is highlighted), or the Contract Detailed View (when the contract details are displayed), you can invoke the ‘Contract Authorization’ screen either by:
If the contract involves a product for which some Re-key fields have been defined, the details of the contract will be displayed only after you input the values in those fields. If no Re-key fields have been defined, the details of the contract will be displayed in the ‘Authorization’ screen.
All the overrides that were given during the operation will be displayed when the contract is being authorized.
If you are authorizing an amendment, the old values are replaced by the amended values, which will be available for subsequent processing.
The old values, however, will still be available in an earlier version of the contract. Click on ‘Ok’ button to authorize the contract. Click on ‘Exit’ button if you do not want to authorize the contract.
After the contract has been authorized, the accounting entries passed during this stage will also be marked as authorized and advises, if any have been specified for the operation, will be generated.
You will be returned to the screen from where you invoked the ‘Contract Authorization’ screen (Contract Summary View or Contract Detailed View).
The audit trail of the screen will display the following details:
Note
If the record has changed after the data was fetched for authorization, when you click ‘Authorize’ button, the system displays an alert message ‘Snapshot ID too old. Retry the operation after a re-query’.
This override is shown when you try to amend, delete, close or authorize a record created. With this alert, you can ensure that the latest modified record is available for you to view before any of these actions are performed.
If automatic authorization has been enabled for a function, branch and user profile, and such a user has rights for both input and authorize operations, any record maintained by such a user in the corresponding function (maintenance or online) screens will be automatically authorized when the Save operation is performed.
When automatic authorization takes place,
After creation or modification of maintenance records belonging to a function, for which Dual authorization has been enabled, an intermediate verifier (First Authorizer) has to verify the record before the record can be actually authorized. Only after the first authorization, system allows you to actually authorize the record.
The first level authorization is done using the ‘Verify’ screen. You can invoke this screen by typing ‘CSSVERFY’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking on the adjoining arrow button.
In the ‘Verify’ screen you can query the modifications pending for verification (First Authorization) and do the first level authorization for selected modifications. Based on the search criteria entered system queries and displays all the records that meet the search criteria.
If you double click on a particular record you can view the details of all the modifications pending for verification for that record in a separate screen (CSDVERFY).
All the modifications pending will be shown and you can select a modification and verify all the modifications till the selected modification number.
For examples if there are 3 modifications (Modification numbers 2, 3 and 4) pending for verification and if you select Modification number 3, system marks modification numbers 2 and 3 as ‘Verified’. Similarly if you select Modification number 4, modification number 2,3 and 4 will be marked as ‘Verified’.

A contract can be deleted only by the user who entered it. If a contract has to be deleted and the user who input it is not around to do it, you can reassign the contract to another user so that the other user can delete it. Typically, this situation may arise during End of Day operations when a contract that is not authorized has to be deleted and the user who input it has left office for the day. The access rights to reassign a contract are usually allotted to a senior user in the department.
In the Application Browser, highlight your module. The operations for which you have access rights will be displayed in an adjoining box. Position your mouse pointer and highlight Contract. The options available under it will be displayed in an adjacent box. Highlight Reassign and click on it once.
The ‘Contract Reassignment’ screen will be displayed and you can enter the User-ID of the user to whom you want to assign the contract. This user should have access rights to input contracts.
Click ‘Ok’ button after you make all the specifications. Click ‘Exit’ button if you do not want to save the details that you entered.
This section contains the following topics
Data that remains constant over a period of time is called static data. Usually, such data will be commonly accessed by more than one module. The following are some typical examples of static data:
Such data is maintained in tables. Once the data is entered in a table, it has to be authorized before it can be used by any function. Each item in a table is called a record. Each record has a key that uniquely identifies it.
For example, when you open a record for a broker, you should allot an identification code. This code, called the Broker ID is unique to the broker whose details you are defining and cannot be allotted to any other broker. Thus, the Broker ID identifies the broker for whom the details have been defined. In a similar fashion, you have to allot unique codes to each currency, dealer, etc.
While you are defining a record, you have to enter the key first and then go on to define the attributes for it. These attributes will automatically be picked up when the key of the record is involved in a transaction. For example, you define Alexander (with a Broker ID of Alex) as a broker and indicate that the brokerage should be booked in advance. Whenever Alexander is involved in a transaction, the brokerage will be booked in advance.
You will encounter three types of fields in most screens:
Of the many fields in a screen, the inputs to some may be mandatory. This means that you cannot save the record without giving a valid input in such fields.
The inputs to some of the fields in a screen may be optional. You may or may not give an input to such fields. Further, an optional field may have a default value; a value that the system puts in the field if you do not enter anything. Unless you change this default value, it will be taken as the input to the field. However, please note that all optional fields need not have default values. It is possible that some fields can be left blank.
There are some fields, which take input based on data in some other field(s). For example, in the Loans and deposits module, you have to specify the Cluster ID only if you are processing a deposit. It is not unusual that a conditional field also has a default.
Inputs to certain fields can be picked up from the option list provided with the field. The option list will contain values that are valid inputs to the field.
After you have made all your inputs, save the record by clicking save icon.
Click ‘Exit’ button to exit this screen.
To add a new record in a table, click new icon when the ‘Detailed View’ screen of the table is invoked. For example, if you want to define a New Broker in the Broker Master file, first invoke the Broker Master table, click new icon. A new input screen for the table with no values in it will be displayed; with the cursor positioned at the key field.
If you are defining a new broker, the ‘Broker Master’ screen will be displayed with the cursor at the Broker ID field.
Note
Certain tables are attached to a specific branch. Which means that a record defined in the table will be applicable only for the branch in which it was opened. For such tables, the Branch Code will be displayed along with the key of the record. This Branch Code will be that of the branch where the record was defined and you cannot change it. If you want to open a record in a different branch, you should sign-on to that branch (by invoking the ‘Change Branch’ screen from the main menu).
Enter a unique value in the key field and go on to define its attributes. At each field, press <F1> for help on what the field is about and the inputs it takes. If you give an invalid input to any field, an error message will be displayed.
A record that has been defined will be available for any functional operation only after it has been authorized. Before the addition of a record is authorized, you can delete it. A record can be deleted only from the detailed view of a record.
In the ‘Detailed View’ screen the table will be displayed with all the values that have been defined for the record. You can click delete icon. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion before the record is deleted.
Note
In the ‘Summary View’ screen you can only print the details of the highlighted record. Any operation on a record like deletion, modification, cancellation etc. will have to be carried out through the ‘Detailed View’ screen.
Very often, you may have to enter into a table a record that closely resembles an existing record. In such a case, you can copy the details of the record that has already been defined. You can then change the attributes that are different for the new record.
At the ‘Summary View’ or the ‘Detailed View’ screen of the table, click copy icon when the record you want to copy is highlighted. The input screen for the table will be displayed with all the details except those in the key field(s). Enter the appropriate value(s) in the key field(s) that are applicable for the new record you are defining. You can change the input in any field. The validations that are done when you are defining a new record will be done for the fields you change. Save the new record by clicking save icon.
Whenever you add, modify, close or re-open a record, the activity should be authorized before the End of Day operations (EOD) can begin. Authorization can be carried out only by a user other than the one who carried out the activity being authorized. For example, if you have added a new record in the Broker Master table it should be authorized by some other user.
At the ‘Summary View’ screen of the table, click authorize icon, when the record you want to authorize is highlighted. You will be prompted to confirm the authorization. The record will be authorized only if you give the confirmation.
After you confirm the authorization, your User-ID will be displayed at the Auth By field. The date and time of authorization will be displayed in the Date/Time field. These fields will always show the details of the latest authorization.
Certain attributes that have been defined for a record can be changed after it has been stored and even authorized. However, you may not be able to modify the inputs in all the fields under certain circumstances. If there is a restriction on modifying the input to a field, it will be mentioned in the on-line help for the field. <F1> at any field gives you the on-line help on the field.
You can choose to modify a record by, either:
or
Your User-ID will be displayed at the Entry By field. The date and time at which you saved the modification will be displayed next to it. The record has to be authorized by a user other than you.
When a record is closed, it will not be available for use by any function. You can reopen the record if it has to be used again. A record can be closed only if it is not linked to any other table. For example, you cannot close a Rule in the Brokerage Rule Definition table, if the rule is linked to a broker in the Brokerage Association Table.
Click close icon when the details of the record are being displayed in the ‘Detailed View’ screen for the table.
Click OK. You will be prompted to confirm the closing of the record. The closing should be authorized by a user other than you, before you can begin the End of Day operations.
Two types of view screens are available for records in a table. The ‘Summary View’ screen displays the value in the main fields of the table, in a tabular column. To move to the Detailed View for the record, do the following:
From the Summary or Detailed view for a record, you can choose any action from the application toolbar.
Note
When you save a record, your User-ID will be displayed in the Entry By field. The date and time at which the record was created will be displayed in the Date/Time field. These fields will always show the details of the latest action on the record - addition or modification.
A record that has been defined should be authorized before it is available for a function. This authorization should be made by a user other than the one who defined the record.

Note
When you launch a function ID with multi branch access using ‘User ID’ with dual access rights and set the transaction branch, the calendar present on the function ID displays the holiday list of the corresponding transaction branch.
This section contains the following topics
You can change the branch of operation to a branch other than the one you are signed on to, using this function. The branches to which you can change will be defined in your user profile. You can change your branch of operation only when a function that has been initiated by you in the current branch has been completed.
In the Application tool bar, place the cursor over ‘Branch Online’ icon and then select the option ‘Select Branch’. The ‘List of Values Branch Code’ screen is displayed in which you can query and select branches maintained in the system.
Specify the query parameters and click ‘Fetch’ button. The records meeting the query criteria are displayed in the lower grid.
To change the current branch, click the branch code to which you want to change to from the list of displayed records. System displays a ‘Confirmation Message’ window in which the following confirmation message is displayed:
Do you want to change the branch to: <<Selected Branch Code>>
Click ‘OK’ to continue with the change branch operation else click ‘Cancel’.
To change to a branch, select the branch code from the option list of the branch code text field and click on the Change Branch button. This branch becomes your Host branch. When you are in the Host branch, invoke this screen again and click on Home Branch to return to your Home branch.
Note
When you change your branch through the Change Branch function, you become a GUEST in the branch you have changed into. Your user profile will be the one created for a User ID called GUEST in that branch. However, if you are defined as an End of Day operator, your user profile in your branch will be applicable in the branch you change into.
When you are in the Contract On-line Summary view, all the contracts involving all the products defined for the module are displayed. This may amount to hundreds of contracts. To avoid wading through this mass of data, you can make a query to see only those contracts, which are relevant to you at a particular time.
For example, you may want to see the contracts for just three customers of your choice, maturing on a specific date. Or you may want to see all contracts across products, defined with a specific rate of interest. The ‘Query’ screen makes this possible.
Note
If recommended fields search is enabled for a summary screen, then it is mandatory to specify the minimum required search parameters in the advanced search. Recommended fields will be displayed separately at the top foe easy input.
Refer to Open Development Tools user guides for details.
Example
In the ‘Summary View’ screen for on-line contracts, the fields displayed are the criteria by which you can make a query.
Suppose you want to see all the loans (in the Loans module) with a specific Maturity date:
Suppose you want to see loans (in the Loans module) based on more than one criterion - that is, you may want to see all USD loans with a value date (which come into effect) beyond 31 December 1999 and an interest rate greater than 10%.
To make such a query, first click on Currency under Fields, choose Equal To under Operator and USD under Value. Click ‘Accept’ button. Now click ‘AND’ button. Repeat the procedure with the criteria value date and rate, click ‘Accept’ button and ‘AND’ button in the sequence described for the first criteria currency. You will see the query displayed in the ‘Query’ screen.
Check it for correctness and click ‘Ok’ button. You will see the ‘LD Contract Summary’ screen showing only USD contracts with a value date beyond 31 December 1999 and a rate of interest over 10 per cent.
Now, you may want to make a query to see the loans (in the Loans and Deposits module) involving three different products and having a rate less than 12 percent. This involves specifying the products one by one all of which come under the same criterion - Product (listed out under Fields) and indicating a rate range for them.
Click on Product in the Fields list, specify the Operator as Equal To and pick out the product from the Value option list, say LDSP and click ‘Accept’ button. To select another product, click ‘OR’ button and then click Product in the Fields list, specify the Operator as Equal To and pick out the product from the Value option list, say LL05. Repeat the process for the third product, LL07.
To cull out loans involving these three products with an interest rate less than 12%, click ‘AND’ button and specify the rate condition. (Pick Rate from the Fields list, specify the Operator as Less than and give the Value as 12. Click ‘Accept’ button. You will see the following query in the ‘Query’ screen:
PRODUCT = `LDSP OR PRODUCT = `LL05 OR PRODUCT = `LL07 AND RATE < 12
Now click ‘Ok’ button to see the query through. You will see displayed in the ‘LD Contract Summary’ screen, all the loans with an interest rate less than 12% for the three products you have specified.
You can see a display of the fields in the Contract Summary View either based on the ascending order or the descending order.
Suppose you want to see the Contract Amounts for all the loans in the Loans and Deposits module in the descending order, highlight the field Contract Amount from the Fields list in the screen and click on it. In the Operator option list, choose Order By.
Once you do this, the Value list will contain the two options:
Click the option of your choice, say, Descending. Click ‘Accept’ button.
Click ‘Ok’ button. You will see all the contract amounts of all the loans in the Loans and Deposits module, in the descending order, in the ‘LD Contract Summary’ screen.
If you decide to cancel the ordering you have specified, click ‘Clear Query’ button. The screen clears and you can specify a new order.
You need not always specify the criteria. You can use Wildcards such as * or %, to see a particular set of criteria. For instance, in the Loans and Deposits module, you have defined both loan products. All loan products have a Product Code that starts with LD (LD01, LD02 etc.), and all deposit products have a Product Code that begins with DP (DP01, DP (DP01, DP02, etc.).
Now suppose you want to see only the loan products and you know that they all begin with LD, instead of specifying each from the list of Values, you can give the Operator as Like and in the Value field key in LD%.
Once you click Accept and make a query, the ‘Contract Summary’ screen displays all the loan products.
The system throws up messages while performing a task to either point out an error , or to issue a warning that can be overridden or just to give some information.
