Manually Capture Notifications

Apart from the notifications automatically generated by Core Banking for each installment that has to be paid for existing contracts that disbursed various amounts to customers, Core Banking also assists you reconcile wrongly processed cases and other situations resulted from delayed processing/ wrong updates. Thus, depending on your user rights, you can manually add notifications for an active contract based on lending product types, term loans, and mortgages, or add notifications for amounts to be recovered even if there is no active contract. Core Banking includes all such manual notifications in the recovery processes.

NOTE  
Core Banking enables you to manage manual repayment notification via the user interface or via integration through APIs. For information about the available endpoints, please visit the Core Banking Developer Guide.

You need one of the Corporate Credit Officer, Retail Credit Officer, or Loan Admin Officer security roles to view, create, delete, and update manual repayment notifications.
You need the Loan Admin Officer security role to update their status to Approved.

  2. Click Manual Repayment Notification menu item to open the Manual Repayment Notifications page.

    Or, click Repayment Notification menu item to open the Repayment Notifications List page.

If the notification is not linked to an active contract, you must select a source bank account.

    • Source Bank Account - Automatically filled in if the contract was selected. Select the bank account from where the notified amount should be allocated. After selecting a source bank account, the currency is changed with the bank account's currency.

    • Notification Date - Select the date when the notification is created.

      NOTE  
      You can also add manual repayment notification from the contract level's Payments tab, clicking Insert within the Repayment Notification section.

    • Currency - Automatically filled in with the currency of the notification, if the contract or the source bank account was selected.

    • Total Amount - This read-only field holds the total amount to be paid within the notification, calculated as the sum of all the details' values.

    • Maturity Date - This field is automatically filled in with the maturity date of the notification, calculated by adding the value of the Grace period for repayment field at the banking product level to the notification date. If no contract is selected, hence there is grace period to consider from the banking product level, then the ManualGraceRepayment Core Banking system parameter is used for maturity date calculation.

    • Repayment Description - Enter a description for the manual notification.

  2. Click the Save and Reload button. The manual notification is saved by Core Banking in Draft status. You can now continue by adding repayment notification details to it.

  • Operation Item - Select the operation item for which the notification detail is created. The operation item is used in the payment allocation process.

Approving Manual Repayment Notifications

After adding all the details you need to a manual repayment notification, make sure you approve it by changing its status to Approved. Otherwise, the payment allocation automated jobs don't process it.

Core Banking performs the following validations before approving a manual repayment notification:

  • The Total Amount of the repayment notification must be greater than 0;

  • The Value fields at the details level must be greater than 0;

  • The operation items selected at details level must be included in the allocation method used for manual notifications (stored in the ManualAllocationMethod system parameter).

After approval, Core Banking automatically transitions manual repayment notifications from the Approved status into Pending Recover or In Recovery statuses, using the Auto Process Manual Repayment Notifications scheduled job. Further, the automated settlement of repayment notification takes the notification and processes it, allocating funds from the source bank account to settle the debt.
