1.3.1 Load ICCB Rule Availability Maintenance

This topic provides systematic instructions to load ICCB rule availability maintenance.

A brokerage rule identifies the basic nature of a brokerage component. Each brokerage rule is defined by a ten-character code, called the Rule ID. Attributes are defined for this Rule ID, which is then associated with a broker and product. When a deal is processed, the brokerage attributes defined for the Rule ID that is associated with a broker and product will be applied on the deal.

A brokerage rule is created in the same way that any Interest, Commission, Charge and Fee (ICCB) rule is created, as follows:

• The rule is created at the head office branch, by giving it a unique identification and description, in the Trade Finance ICCB Rule Availability Maintenance screen. In this screen, the rule is made available for use in the required branches by maintaining an allowed / disallowed list of branches.
• At the required branch, in the Trade Finance ICCB Rule Maintenance Screen, the attributes for the rule are defined. Maintaining the attributes in this screen is subject to whether maintenance of ICCB rules is allowed for the branch, and also whether the rule for which attributes are being defined, is allowed for the branch.

To recall, at the head office of your branch, you can create appropriate ICCB rules and make the rules available to the required branches.

In the Trade Finance ICCB Rule Availability Maintenance screen, you can maintain ICCB rules, which you can make available to desired branches. You can do this by maintaining a list of branches for which the use of the rule is allowed, or disallowed.

   Table 1-2 Trade Finance ICCB Rule Availability Maintenance - Field Description

   Field	Description
   Rule Id and Description	You must specify a unique identification for the ICCB rule you are creating. If you are creating a brokerage rule, specify a unique identification for the brokerage rule. This is the identification that will be used as to identify for the rule, in all subsequent references to it. You must also specify a unique description for the rule. Every brokerage rule is identified by a unique ten-character code, called a Rule ID. You can link a valid Brokerage Rule ID to the appropriate broker and product. When a deal is processed, the brokerage attributes defined for the Rule ID that is associated with a broker and product will be applied on the deal. Note: After the rule has been created in the Trade Finance ICCB Rule Availability Maintenance screen, the attributes for the rule must be defined in the Trade Finance ICCB Rule Maintenance screen.
   Branch Restrictions	You can maintain a list of allowed branches (that is, the rule will be available for use in the allowed list of branches) or disallowed branches (the rule will not be available for use in the branches in the disallowed list). To recall, the attributes for the rule are defined, in the Trade Finance ICCB Rule Maintenance screen. Maintaining the attributes in this screen, for a branch, is subject to whether maintenance of ICCB rules is allowed for the branch, and also whether the rule for which attributes are being defined, is allowed for the branch.
   Track for AP	Check this box if the rule is eligible for receivable tracking.
   Track for AR	Check this box if the rule is eligible for payable tracking. Note: When a rule is linked at the product level, the system marks the Track Receivable and Track Payable for amount tags associated with the rule based on whether ' Track for AR’ and ‘Track for AP’ check boxes are checked. Netting is disallowed for amount tags marked for ‘Track for AR’ or ‘Track for AP’.
