    The Accounting system can be same as the ECA system or it can be different. Appropriate accounting entries are posted in the below mentioned cases:
    • When the Accounting and ECA systems are same:
      • During accounting handoff, an additional accounting handoff is sent to the ECA system. This is to indicate the ECA system, that the accounting for the transaction is handed off to ECA system.
      • Along with the accounting entries (Dr. Customer Account and Cr. Nostro/Network Account), the amount block reference number, received on ECA response, is also passed.
      • The accounting system will reverse the amount block and post the entries.
      • Thus the ECA & the External Accounting Systems need to reconcile on releasing the amount block posted earlier & executing the debit transaction.
    • When the Accounting and ECA systems are different:
      • In this case, different set of accounting entries are posted to the respective systems.
      • Dr Customer Account and Cr. Inter System Bridge GL is handed off to ECA system. On this the ECA amount block reference number is also passed.
      • Dr Inter System Bridge GL and Cr. the Network Account is handed off to Accounting system. On this the ECA amount block reference number is not passed.
