8 Annexure – E (Workflow)

Workflow for Letter of Credit Origination:

The Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) workflow layer allows you to define a workflow for handling different transactions. The front-end user interface of this layer allows you to capture details required for the transactions and sends them to Oracle Banking Trade Finance for processing.

BPEL- Import LC Issuance Workflow

An Import LC issuance is providing a letter of credit to a customer; to issue, advice or confirm a letter of credit, for a trade transaction. Your bank thus verifies the customer limit to enable the transaction. After compliance checks and validations are performed, your bank requests an acceptance instruction from your customer. The customer may accept the data entry and may ask your bank to include further details, which if acceptable, are included in the LC transaction. If the customer modifications are not acceptable to the bank, the same can be communicated to the customer and the record may be consequently deleted.
