JOB CARD FOR LAPS INTERFACE MODULE

We have implemented Lending Automation Processing System (LAPS) in our Bank as a surround application to the Core Banking Solution. LAPS is an end to end solution for loan proposal processing, right from Application entry to Sanction Letter generation, and it is first of its kind in our Bank. LAPS has three modules Retail, Agricultural and Corporate. An Interface Module with Finacle CBS system is developed and deployed recently. With the introduction of Interface module, the utility of the LAPS solution is extended for automatic creation of a Customer master and Loan account in Finacle. The features of the LAPS Interface module are as under. 1. Downloading the existing Customer Details from Finacle to LAPS. 2. Automatic Opening of Customer Master in Finacle through LAPS (for new customers). 3. Automatic Opening of Loan Account in Finacle through LAPS. 4. Customer-ID and Loan Accounts are opened in Finacle with mandatory fields under verified status. There will be two contexts for using the interface module. Case I: Creating a new loan proposal in LAPS for a Customer, who is not having customer ID in Finacle. Case II: Creating a new loan proposal in LAPS for a customer who is already having Customer ID in Finacle. The Procedure to be adopted for the above two cases is explained further in the ongoing paragraphs. Case I: CREATING A NEW LOAN PROPOSAL IN LAPS FOR A CUSTOMER WHO IS NOT HAVING A CUSTOMER ID IN FINACLE: Create Customer ID and Loan proposal in LAPS. Once the loan proposal is sanctioned, do the following steps for opening a loan account in Finacle. Creation of Customer ID & Loan Account in Finacle through LAPS: 1. Once the loan is sanctioned, User has to click the tab CBS Details available in Workflow>Action. Then a screen will be displayed wherein user has to select the relevant values in

Customer Hand off information, Common Information and Account Hand off required for opening a Customer Master as well as Loan account in Finacle. 2. After saving the filled in information, click Customer Handoff with which system uploads the data into Finacle, duly giving a suitable message. Wait for two minutes for the system to create CustID in Finacle and click Customer ID enquiry to know the customer ID created in Finacle. Note the customer ID. 3. Then click Accounts Hand off with which system uploads the data to Finacle for opening of loan account duly displaying the already created Finacle customer ID with which it is opening a loan account. Wait for two minutes for the system to open Loan account and click Account No. Enquiry to know the Loan account number opened in Finacle. Note the account number. Both the Customer-ID and Loan Account opened will be in verified status in Finacle. CASE II: CREATING A NEW LOAN PROPOSAL IN LAPS FOR A CUSTOMER WHO IS ALREADY HAVING A CUSTOMER ID IN FINACLE: A) Creation of Customer Profile in LAPS: Once the user clicks the customer Profile Tab in LAPS a screen with three options viz., Full Name, Customer ID and CBS ID will be displayed. User has to click the CBS ID button, give Finacle customer ID in the space provided and click the tab CBS Customer for downloading the data available in Finacle. System picks up Finacle customer ID with the data available in Finacle and creates a Customer ID in LAPS where in user has to fill up the gaps by editing the downloaded data and ensure the status as completed. With this, a link between Finacle customer ID and LAPS Customer ID will be established in LAPS. B) Creation of Loan Account in Finacle through LAPS: 1. Once the loan is sanctioned, User has to click the tab CBS Details available in Workflow Action. Then a screen will be displayed wherein user has to select the relevant values in Common Information and Account Hand off for opening a Loan account in Finacle. Since the loan proposal is being done with the existing finacle customer ID, Customer Hand off information will be disabled. 2. Then click Account Hand off with which system uploads the data to finacle for opening of loan account duly displaying the finacle customer ID. Wait for two minutes for the system to open the loan account and click Account No. Enquiry to know the Loan account number opened in Finacle.
