Product Factory System Parameters

The system parameters used by Banking Product Factory determine the behavior of all banking products, and also configures a few features used by Loan Management, when Loan Management is implemented along with Banking Product Factory.

NOTE  
Do not confuse the Banking Product Factory system parameters with the FintechOS system parameters, stored in the systemparameter and systemParameterOnPortalProfile entities!

Here's the list of system parameters used by Banking Product Factory, along with their description:

It represents the default currency automatically filled in when creating a banking product. You can change the value at the banking product level, or you can change the default value from this parameter according to your financial institution's needs.

Module that uses the system parameter: Banking Product

Parameter type: Lookup. To entity: FTOS_CMB_Currency

Default value: EUR

The parameter holds the penalty interest list used for penalty calculation for manual repayment notifications that are not linked to a contract in Loan Management.

Module that uses the system parameter: Banking Product

Parameter type: Lookup. To entity: InterestList

Default value: ManualPenaltyInterestList

Specifies how Loan Management treats situations when the funds of the reconciliation account associated with the banking product used in the contract would go below zero if a disbursement event would be approved.

  • For NoMessage value, there is no error or warning message displayed if the disbursement event that is being approved would result in a negative balance of the associated reconciliation account. The event can be approved and the balance can go below zero.
  • For Warning value, there is a warning message displayed if the disbursement event that is being approved would result in a negative balance of the associated reconciliation account. The event can be approved and the balance can go below zero.
  • For Error value, there is an error message displayed if the disbursement event that is being approved would result in a negative balance of the associated reconciliation account. The event can't be approved and the balance can't go below zero.

This is a system-wide setting, applicable to events for contracts based on all banking products without a specified Negative balance treatment value. Loan Management also takes into consideration the settings used at the banking product level (the Negative balance treatment field's value next to Reconciliation Account). Thus, if the value is specified at the banking product level, then that value takes precedence over the system parameter's setting.

Default value: Warning.
