3 Process a Murabaha MM Deal

A product is a specific service that you offer your customers. For example, amongst other financial services, you may offer an overnight borrowing facility to your customers. By defining the overnight borrowing facility as a product with certain attributes you can categorize all overnight borrowings, which share the attributes, defined for the product.

The other advantage of defining a product is that you can define certain general attributes for a product that will default to all contracts (placements or borrowings) involving it.

Note:

When you enter into a deal with a customer, you enter into a contract. Contracts are customer specific.

Deals (contracts) inherit the attributes of the product by default. This means you will not have to define these general attributes each time you input a deal involving the product. These general attributes, however, can be changed at the time of processing a deal.

Besides, these general attributes which a deal inherits from a product - and which can be changed for it there are the specific attributes which you have to define for the deal:
  • the counterparty (customer) details
  • the deal amount
  • the deal currency
  • the repayment account for the deal, and so on
