3. On Branch Parameter Details screen, specify the fields.

   Table 2-1 Branch Parameter Details - Field Description

   Field	Description
   Branch Code	Specify the branch code from the list of branch code values. For more details on how to configure the Branch Code, see External Branch Parameters in the Oracle Banking Common Code User Guide.
   Branch Name	Displays a description of the selected Branch Code. This field is auto-populated.
   Status Processing Basis	Status Processing is done at the Account level → 'A'. This is the default value and cannot be changed. Each account status is assigned according to the status processing parameters operative on the account.
   Uncollected Funds Basis	Specify how the system enforces the allowable amount to withdraw from the uncollected funds of an account in a business day. For each customer account, designate a withdrawal limit (uncollected funds limit) on the amount of uncollected funds. You can also indicate whether the system should consider the total uncollected funds available in the account on a given business day, subject to the uncollected funds limit. The following details are displayed in the drop-down list: Uncollected Funds → 'U' (Default) - If selected, an amount equal to or lesser than the uncollected funds limit defined for the account can be withdrawn on any business day. Currently, this is the only option available and is selected by default.
   Check Number Mask	Specify the mask of the check number. Multiple values can be selected from a list, and the parameter for mask values can be altered accordingly. This field is mandatory. Note: If the check mask is not maintained at the Branch level, the system checks for the mask at the Bank level.
   Back Value Check Required	Enable this option to perform a check for back-valued transactions. This option is disabled by default.
   Back Value Days	Specify the number of days up to which back-valued transactions are allowed. The value must be from 1 to 999. This field displays when Back Value Check Required option is enabled.

4. Click Next.
   The Check Parameters screen displays.

   Written Stop Check Request Validity (in days)	This field defines the period (in days) post which the stop payment instruction on a check (or range of checks) will be automatically revoked and the check can be presented again.
