7 Transaction Authorization

Transaction Authorization enables you to validate transactions (which have the Authorize property enabled) that were entered on the Customer Service screen’s Maintenance screen by a different Oracle Financial Services Lending and Leasing user.

You can view these transactions on the Transaction Authorization screen before they are posted. This process is referred to as Maker-Checker, as one Oracle Financial Services Lending and Leasing user enters (or makes) the transaction on Maintenance screen and another validates (or checks) the transaction on the Transaction Authorization screen. As an example, the checker might review transactions to determine if the transaction will increase the credit limit to an acceptable level or decrease the payment to an unacceptable level.

Table 7-1 Transaction Authorization

Type Description
Maker The person who posts (or makes) transaction on the Maintenance screen.
Checker The person who checks the details entered by the maker and either accepts or rejects the transaction in the Transaction Authorization screen.

While defining transaction code, the maker and checker responsibilities can be defined using the access type field available under access grid sub tab. Maker-Checker concept applies only to manual transactions, and not the automated ones.
