Operation Item

Operation items are those items that relate to a bank's core business, such as all types of fees, commissions, principals, interests, advances or penalty calculations. You can also consider them as balance types that add up to a certain deal or used in tracing what happened on a particular deal. For instance, on the first day of using a new loan, there is only the Loan Principal (LP) on that deal, or it can also have an Advance (ADV) in some particular cases or even a Frond-End Fee (FEF). As the deal progresses, depending on the definition and costs, as well as on repayments, the loan principal can become Paid Principal (PP) or Overdue Principal (OVP) if due amounts are not paid.

Core Banking uses operation items in the calculation processes of payment and repayment notifications, due amounts, accounting entries, and others.

NOTE  
If a repayment notification is not linked to a contract, then Core Banking takes the operation item value from the allocation method configured within the ManualAllocationMethod system parameter.
If a repayment notification is created for a contract with Closed status, then Core Banking takes the operation item value from the allocation method selected at the banking product level.
