The topic describes about the detailed information on the common attribute bulk maintenance screen.

Note:

The fields, which are marked with an asterisk, are mandatory.

The Common Attribute Bulk Maintenance functionality in OBELCM is designed to facilitate the creation, organization, and management of user-defined codes and values that can be later referenced and linked at the customer liability linkage stage. This utility enables banks to standardize reference data such as regions, customer types, or internal classifications which can be consistently applied for customer relationships.

    • Creation and Configuration (Bulk):
      • Users can bulk-create multiple attribute codes and values efficiently.
      • For example, create the Attribute Type Code GEOGRAPHY. Under this, set up the Attribute Code Region. Then define Attribute Values such as "East Region," "West Region," "North Region," and "South Region," each with appropriate descriptions.
    • Reference in Operational Workflows:
      • When linking a customer to a liability (via Customer Liability Linkage Maintenance screen), users can select appropriate attribute values already created, ensuring standardized tagging of customers or liabilities for reporting, segmentation, or internal processes.
    • Reference Data Consistency:
      • This process supports efficient master data management and reinforces best practices in reference data consistency across the bank's credit operations in OBELCM.
