This topic provides the systematic instruction to specify message address.

1. On the message address, specify the fields.

   For a customer address - message type combination, you can indicate the branch (es) from which the message can be sent to the address with Oracle Banking Trade Finance.

   you can offer your customers the facility to effect a transaction from any of the branches of your bank. Hence, you can indicate the branches from where a message should be generated. You can select a branch code from the option list that is available.

   Note:

   You can use the wildcard ‘All’ indicating that the message can be sent to the address in the defined format from all the branches of your bank. For example, if you indicate ‘All’ in the branch field for the message type ‘payment message’ it would mean that the address is applicable whenever a payment message is generated from any of the branches of your bank

   For more information on fields, refer to Table 5-2:

   Table 5-2 Trade Finance Customer Address Maintenance - Field Description

   Field	Description
   Message Type	A message type is always associated with a module. You should indicate the messages to be sent to the address you have defined for the customer, by picking up the message types for the respective module. Note: You can use the wildcard ‘All’ indicating that all messages for the customer should be sent to the address being defined. In this screen you should indicate: Module + Message Type – Accounting (AC) + Account Statement Branch – London Module – All Copies – 1
   Email	Indicates Email address for the Message Type.
   Copies	You can indicate the number of copies of the message that should be sent to this location each time it is generated. The number you specify here, will be the default number of copies of the messages that will be generated each time a message is sent to this location through the media you have specified. If you indicate that more than one copy should be sent to a location, the first message will be the original and the others will be marked as ‘copy’. Note: For payment messages, Oracle Banking Trade Finance will default ‘one’ indicating that only one payment message will be generated. You will not have an option to change it.
   Format	You can specify the format in which a message should be sent to a customer’s address. The default format for a message type needs to be defined through the ‘Advice Format Maintenance’ screen. You can choose to use the default format defined for the message type or you can indicate another format for the message. If you leave this field blank the default format specified for a message type in the Advice Format screen will be used. However, if you want to personalize a message to make it specific to a customer, you can indicate the code of the format that should be used for the advice - customer combination. For example, you have maintained a standard format for the account statements that are sent from your bank in the Advice Format screen. However, for Mr. Andrew Scott, a non-resident customer you want to personalize the account statement rather than send him the standard one defined in the Advice Format screen. To make this possible you can indicate the code of a format that you defined specific to Mr. Scott. Whenever an account statement is sent to Mr. Scott from your bank, it will be in the format that you have defined in this screen. Note: The special format should first be defined in the advice format screen before it can be associated with Mr. Scott's address.
   Primary Address	When defining addresses for a message type, you have to identify an address as the primary address.
   Confirmation Message	The confirmation messages are matched based on the confirmation rule maintained. Auto matching of confirmation messages is enabled only if the ‘Confirmation Message’ is checked for the combination of customer, branch, message type, module, location and media.
