1.3.1 Loading ICCB Rule Availability Maintenance

This topic provides systematic instructions to load ICCB rule availability maintenance.

A charge rule is created as under:
  • The rule is created at the head office branch, by giving it a unique identification and description, in the ‘Trade Finance ICCB Rule Branch Availability Maintenance’ screen. In this screen, the rule is made available for use in the required branches by maintaining an allowed/disallowed list of branches.
  • At the required branch, in the ‘Trade Finance ICCB Rule Details’ screen, the attributes for the rule are defined. Maintaining the attributes in this screen is subject to whether maintenance of ICCB rules is allowed for the branch, and also whether the rule for which attributes are being defined, is allowed for the branch.

To recall, at the head office of your branch, you can create appropriate ICCB rules and make the rules available to the required branches.

    For more information about the fields, refer to Table 1-1:

    Table 1-1 Trade Finance ICCB Rule Availability Maintenance - Field Description

    Field Description
    Rule ID and Description

    You must specify a unique identification for the ICCB rule you are creating. If you are creating a charge rule, specify a unique identification for the charge rule. This is the identification that will be used as to identify for the rule, in all subsequent references to it. You must also specify a unique description for the rule.

    Every charge rule is identified by a unique ten-character code, called a Rule ID. You can link a valid Charge Rule ID to the charge classes that you maintain in your bank. Charges or fees for all products with which you associate a charge class, will be calculated on the basis of the Rule ID that is associated with the class.

    You must select the Rule ID to have all the bank branches listed in the Branch field list of options.

    Note:

    After the rule has been created, the attributes for the rule must be defined in the ‘Trade Finance ICCB Rule Details’ screen.
    Branch Restrictions

    You can maintain a list of allowed branches (that is, the rule will be available for use in the allowed list of branches) or disallowed branches (the rule will not be available for use in the branches in the disallowed list).

    To recall, the attributes for the rule are defined, in the Trade Finance ICCB Rule Maintenance screen. Maintaining the attributes in this screen, for a branch, is subject to whether maintenance of ICCB rules is allowed for the branch, and also whether the rule for which attributes are being defined, is allowed for the branch.
    Track for AP

    Check this box if the rule is eligible for receivable tracking.
    Track for AR

    Check this box if the rule is eligible for payable tracking.

    Note:

    • When a rule is linked at the product level, the system marks the Track Receivable and Track Payable for amount tags associated with the rule based on whether ‘Track for AR’ and ‘Track for AP’ check boxes are checked.
    • Netting is disallowed for amount tags marked for ‘Track for AR’ or ‘Track for AP’.

    For details about the Common Branch Restrictions, refer the Security Management System user manual.
