PURPOSE
This document is a detailed procedure for how to view and amend cash settlement details.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Transactions that are booked in the CS Lucas system would give rise to cash flows for settlement. The settlement instructions need to be correctly assigned to these cash flows after a trade is done so that the confirmation letter to the bank contains the right settlement instructions guiding the settlement arrangement for the trade. Assigning the correct settlement details also ensure that the accounting entries on cash are journaled into the correct bank accounts.
PROCEDURE
1. From the main menu, select Back Office > Settlement > Cash Settlement. The screen below is displayed.
2. To view a list of settlement cash items, choose the Accounting Centre and fill out the From and To fields. Click Refresh. All the settlement cash inflows and outflows for the selected period will be shown on the screen. You may also filter the cash settlement items by currency, counterparty ID and Our SSI as required.
3. To amend the settlement SSI, click on the TradeID of the settlement item. In this example, TradeID selected is MMK100002.00.
4. In this example, we will change the Our SSI from TF-CI-USD to TF-DB-USD-OPS. This means the amount 1.2 million will be debited from TF-DB-USD-OPS instead of the previous SSI.
