   The primary attribute of a product is whether the bills linked to it are either:

   • Import Bills under LCs
   • Import Bills not under LCs
   • Export Bills under LCs
   • Export Bills not under LCs
   • Incoming Collections
   • Outgoing Collections
   • Usance or Sight Bills
   • Documentary or Clean Bills

   The first attribute you define for a product is its type. Once you have made this basic classification, tailor the product to suit your requirements. To explain further, within the broad categories of the type of Bills listed above further, define attributes that are characteristic to each type. Each of these types that you define, with its distinctive features, constitutes a Product in Oracle Banking Trade Finance.

   Since you define products for convenience, all the Bills involving the product inherit the attributes defined for the product. Yet, you have room for flexibility. Change the inherited attributes of a specific bill to suit your requirement at the time of processing it.

   For any product created in Oracle Banking Trade Finance, define generic attributes, such as branch, currency, and customer restrictions, interest details, tax details, etc., by clicking on the appropriate icon in the horizontal array of icons in this screen. For a BC product, in addition to these generic attributes, specifically define other attributes.

   Define the attributes specific to a BC product in the BC Product Definition Main screen and the BC Product Preferences screen. In these screens, specify the product type and set the product preferences, respectively.
