3.9 Process Additional Information Maintenance

This topic provides the systematic instructions to define additional information pertaining to any entities that you set up in the system.

The Oracle® FLEXCUBE Investor Servicing system gives you the facility of defining heads under which you can capture any additional information pertaining to any entities that you set up in the system, especially unit holders and brokers. You can also set up a list of acceptable, valid values for each information head.

Use Additional Information Maintenance screen to define these additional information heads and their valid values.

1. On Home screen, type UTDADINF in the text box, and click Next.
   The Additional Information Maintenance screen is displayed.

Specify RPO Code for Account Status as Additional Information Head

When you set up a unit holder account in the system, you can capture the RPO Code that would be used for tracking the status of the account.

The RPO Code is provided as an additional information head in the Additional Information Maintenance, with valid values such as Bankrupt, Deceased, Lien on Holdings, Return Mail and so on, as a pre-shipped maintenance.

Table 3-9 RPO Code and Processing Implications

RPO Code	Processing Implications
Normal/Active	No associated RPO Code
Bankrupt	Redemptions, Transfer-In will be allowed. Subscription, Switch-Out, Switch-In, Transfer-Out transactions will not be allowed
Deceased	All transaction types disallowed
Deceased Estate	All transaction types disallowed
Frozen	All transaction types disallowed
Hold	All transaction types disallowed
Blacklist	All transaction types disallowed
Suspicious	All transaction types disallowed
Closed	All transaction types disallowed

The RPO code can be tracked separately for each installation; therefore, the same account could have the BLOCKED status in one installation and ACTIVE in another. To mark a status, an Information Change must be used.

13. Provide an additional information head RPO Effective Date with the data type as Date Type to capture the effective date for the RPO status.
    The format for the date is picked up from the Parameter Code DATEFORMATFORADDINFO, which is a pre-shipped maintenance. These additional information heads are provided at your installation only if specifically requested for.
