    Product Description Product description given for this product gets defaulted from the Product screen.
    Contract Reference Number The Contract Reference Number identifies a contract uniquely. It is automatically generated by the system for each contract. The Contract Reference Number is a combination of the branch code, the product code, the date on which the contract is booked (in Julian format) and a running serial number for the booking date.

    The Reference Number consists of a three-digit branch code, a four-character product code, a five-digit Julian Date and a four-digit serial number.

    The Julian Date has the following format:

    YYDDD

    Here, YY stands for the last two digits of the year and DDD for the number of day(s) that has/ have elapsed, in the year.

    Product Type The type of product gets displayed here from the product screen, specifying if the product is of type import/export or revolving or non-revolving.
    User Reference In addition, a contract is also identified by a unique User Reference Number. By default, the Contract Reference Number generated by the system is taken as the User Reference Number. But you have the option to change the User Ref Number.

    Oracle Banking Trade Finance also provides you the facility to generate the user reference number in a specific format.

    Note:

    You can specify a format for the generation of the User Reference Number in the ‘Sequence Generation’ screen available in the Application Browser. Refer to the Core Services User Manual for details on maintaining a sequence format.
    Fund ID Select the fund id from the adjoining option list populated from FCUBS application.

    The fund information is fetched based on the below criteria.

    • Funds with OBTF Application date in between Fund Start and end dates.
    • Funds which belong to the global OBTF Branch.
    Source Reference The system automatically generates the Source Reference number. You can change it i required.

    This message identification number is used to identify an incoming message coming from an external system. This is defined as the ICN number. On upload of an incoming message into Oracle Banking Trade Finance, this number, given by the external system, is stored in Oracle Banking Trade Finance and passed on to the contract generated as a result of the incoming message.

    If the incoming message results in an outgoing message, the ICN number is linked to the outgoing message also.

    This number will help you in creating a relationship between the incoming message, the resultant contract in Oracle Banking Trade Finance, and the outgoing message, if any.

    If an Incoming message results in an outgoing contract (outgoing message), Oracle Banking Trade Finance will store the source reference number (ICN Number) at the following levels.
    • Incoming Message Level
    • Contract Level (Resulted due to the Incoming message)
    • Outgoing message (As a result of the above contract)

    You can capture the same source reference number for LC advising and reimbursement contracts if LC Issuance (MT700) and LC Reimbursement Authority (MT740) are received from the same issuing bank.

    Note:

    The system will not allow to capture, the same source reference number for more than one advising or reimbursing contracts.
    Fund ID Select the fund id from the adjoining option list. The system defaults the value of Default Mudarabah Fund as fund id.
