Configuring Migration of Account Details
The takeover of AC to AR requires configuration of Principle Balance and Accrued Interest Takeover.
When the account is taken over from the legacy system to Transact, there can be performance issues. To improve the performance during such a data migration, the AA tables can be updated through a service. Read Customer Arrangement Offline Update for more information.
Principle Balance Takeover
In order for the Takeover Activity to automatically bring the AC balance into the AR arrangement balance, special AC.EVENTs need to be configured in the relevant AC.ALLOCATION.RULE. During the takeover activity, the system parks the AC account balance temporarily in an internal wash-through account and then moves it into the AR arrangement balance (within the same transaction boundary). For this purpose the ACCOUNT.CLASS needs to be configured and attached to the relevant AC.EVENT in Allocation Rules.
The following subsections describe this configuration in detail.
- Designate a category for internal wash-through account and setup the U-ACSUSPENSE, Account Class record as shown below
- During the ACCOUNTS-TAKEOVER-ARRANGEMENT Activity, when the user specifies an existing AC account, the system raises appropriate accounting to move the AC balance to this internal account and then moves it back after linking the AC account to the AR arrangement.
This happens within the same transaction boundary and results in
ACCT.BALANCE.ACTIVITYupdated with this movement in.
- Temenos released AC Events are used during balance movements from AC account to AR arrangements.
- During ACCOUNTS-TAKEOVER-ARRANGEMENT, the system uses ACCOUNT-BALANCE.MOVEMENT-DUE or ACCOUNT-BALANCE.MOVEMENT-PAY events depending on whether the account balance is in debit or credit respectively.
The ACCOUNT-BALANCE-MOVEMENT-DUE recordis shown below.
The ACCOUNT-BALANCE-MOVEMENT-PAY record is shown below.
- Specific Configuration is required for these special AC Events in AC Allocation Rule similar to the screenshot below.
- The contra is mapped to suspense account configured through the ACSUSPENSE Account Class. Hence, contra is INT*U-ACSUSPENSE.
- The Re Txn Codes are only relevant for the contra side.
- The Print Mask is set to Yes, which helps in masking these movement entries from appearing in Account Statement.
- The required setup in corresponding
AC.POSTING.DETAILrecord is given below:
The BALANCE.MOVEMENT is a purpose built action to facilitate takeover of principle balance from AC to AR.
Accrued Interest Takeover
The accrued interest is captured using the standard CAPTURE.BALANCE Activity Class. However in-order for the system to raise the offsetting entry against the existing AC account accruals, special AC.EVENTs need to be configured in the relevant AC.ALLOCATION.RULE.
The following subsections describe this configuration in detail.
- There are four types of Interests, which are possible in an AC account and their Balance Types are as in the table below.
Interest Type Balance Type CR 50000 CR2 50100 DR 51000 DR2 51100 - The AA Interest Property Class allows multiple Properties to be created under it.
- The Balance Types for these would be based the Interest Property prefixed with ACC that is, ACC<INTEREST>.
EXAMPLE: ACCCRINTEREST and ACCDRINTEREST for CRINTEREST and DRINTEREST Properties respectively. - If the Account Product is configured with CR2 and/or DR2, it means that the AR product has two corresponding Interest Properties as well.
- When taking over accrued CRINTEREST, the system has to post the offsetting entry against the Asset Type 50000 (corresponding to AC Interest Type CR). Similarly, for DRINTEREST, it has to post the offsetting entry against the Asset Type 51000.
- In order for the system to understand this,
ACCOUNT.CLASShas to be setup along with relevantAC.BALANCE.TYPErecords to be created.
- In order for the system to understand this,
The ACCOUNT.CLASS records named with the respective Interest Properties, for which the accrual has to be captured, provide a mapping for the system to determine the contra side of the Capture balance accounting.
ACCOUNT.CLASS records:
- U-<<Credit Interest Property>> (the property which corresponds to IC’s CR)
- RECORD.TYPE = PL
- CATEGORY = 50000
- U-<<Credit Interest Property 2>> (the property which corresponds to IC’s CR2)
- RECORD.TYPE = PL
- CATEGORY = 50100
- U-<<Debit Interest Property>> (the property which corresponds to IC’s DR)
- RECORD.TYPE = PL
- CATEGORY = 51000
- U-<<Debit Interest Property 2>> (the property which corresponds to IC’s DR2)
- RECORD.TYPE = PL
- CATEGORY = 51100
A sample screenshot for CRINTEREST Property created in Account Class record is shown below.
Standard AA Capture Balance is used to capture accrued debit and credit interests. The INTEREST-DEBIT-DUE-ADJ.DR and INTEREST-CREDIT-DUE-ADJ.CR events are used to move debit accruals and credit accruals respectively from the AC account to AR arrangement.
The record INTEREST-DEBIT-DUE-ADJ-DR is shown below.
The record INTEREST-DEBIT-DUE-ADJ-CR is shown below.
Implementation Considerations
- Account Property - Capture the details from the ACCOUNT record into Account Property. The system does not import account details in AR arrangement automatically.
- Limit - If there is any limit attached in the ACCOUNT record, capture the Limit Reference and Limit Serial in Limit Property.
- Interest - Any AC account level Interest Conditions must be captured as arrangement level condition.
