4 Import Bulk Client Information

This topic takes you through the processes involved in configuring the system to process bulk import of business information.

The AMC may need to import information relating to investor accounts and investor transactions from an external source or client, into its database. The volume of information that is imported in such cases is usually very large.

The external source or client, in such cases, is called a bulk client. The information is usually handed off in flat files, ASCII text or any other text format. The import of this information means updation of the AMC database (with the information that is found in the hand-off files) so that the AMC database may reflect the import information. All necessary validations for the successful updating the database with the imported information are performed during the import.

The Oracle FLEXCUBE Investor Servicing (FCIS) system enables the AMC to import information in bulk, from an external client, relating to any of the following:
  • Unit holder information (setting up of new accounts and changing unit holder information on existing accounts)
  • Transactions for unit holders (only new subscription, redemption, transfer and conversion transactions, and amended transactions if indicated for the bulk client)
  • Policy transactions for unit holders
  • Income distribution setup for unit holders
  • Standing instructions for unit holders
  • Overrides of loads on transactions, for unit holders
  • Fund prices for transactions
  • Unit Holder Deal uploads
  • Broker details
  • Check Book requests
  • Fund Rules
  • Redemption Checks

The import can be performed using the generic interface or bulk interface facility.
