   In Oracle Banking Treasury Management, all operations on a deal (input, amendment, modification, etc.) have to be authorized by a user other than the one who entered the deal details. These operations have to be carried out before the end-of-day activities have begun. Authorization is a way of checking the entries made by a user.

   As part of specifying the preferences for a deal product, the user can indicate that details of certain fields must be reentered when a deal is invoked for authorization, as a cross-checking mechanism. The complete details of the deal is displayed only after the values to these fields are entered. The fields for which the values have to be given are called the rekey fields.

   If no rekey fields have been defined, the details of the deal involving the product is displayed immediately when the authorizer calls the deal for authorization. The rekey option also serves as a means of ensuring the accuracy of inputs.
