Instrument Liquidation Process Flow

Instrument can be liquidated to own bank account, or can be received as part of local clearing.

  • On initiating the instrument liquidation, the following processing steps are followed by the system:
    • Initial Validations: System should perform mandatory field checks and reference information checks. System validates whether account record is open and authorized.
    • Instrument Validation: Instrument status should be ‘Active’. It should not be in any other status for example, liquidated, cancelled, and stale or payment stopped. If a valid Instrument is found, instrument details currency, amount and issue date are matched with instrument issue record. If the instrument is payable by a particular branch, then the liquidation can be initiated by that branch only.

      For instrument liquidations initiated from user interface, system throws an error for any validation exception.
