With the above setup available in the e-Banking application, the retail user can perform the following activities:
Initiate transactions (Funds Transfers, Payments and Collections). The transactions can be one time or recurring. The transactions can be instantaneous or scheduled
The transaction date and the tentative value date of the transactions are decided based on the date calculation logic which is discussed in the following section
The user can save the transaction and initiate it at a later point in time
In case the transaction amount exceeds the amount required for RM approval, the initiated transaction needs to be approved by the relationship manager of the bank before further processing
In case of funds transfer, if the transaction is instantaneous transaction, then the posting of the transaction occurs instantaneously in the backend (after all the required approvals are through). In case of scheduled transaction, batch programs (PROCSHLDS and MAKEPMTS) will be used to post the transactions on the scheduled date
In case of payment transactions, the transaction could be within bank transaction or other bank transaction where the payee has an account in a different bank. If the payee has account within bank, then the settlement of the transaction happens within bank. In case of other bank transactions, the banking networks will be used to credit the payee. In case of scheduled payment transactions, batch programs (SETTLEMENT) will be used to post the transactions on the scheduled date
In case of collection transactions, the transaction could be within bank transaction or other bank transaction where the debtor has an account in a different bank. If the debtor has account within bank, then the settlement of the transaction happens within bank. In case of other bank transactions, the banking networks will be used to credit the payee. In case of scheduled collection transactions, batch programs (PROCSHLDS and MAKEPMTS) will be used to post the transactions on the scheduled date. Mandates would be checked while initiating the collection transactions
Refer to operations manual to understand the batch programs PROCSHLDS and MAKEPMTS.
