Introduction
This document provides where possible a high level overview of the Strategic Enhancements that
have been delivered in R11 GA, along with a breakdown of the individual enhancements that form
them.
Application Framework
The following Strategic Initiatives have been delivered R11 GA from Application Framework.
Banking Framework
The following Strategic Initiatives have been released in R11 from Banking Framework.
IFRS Phase 2
The following briefly highlights the requirements to provide the IFRS2 functionality within T24:
Impairment
Reclassification of Assets
Ability to assess for impairment if instrument is reclassified as Loans and Receivable, Held to
Maturity or Available for Sale and generate the required accounting entries
When banks use different systems for different products but maintain the customer information in
Enterprise Customer, a complete 360 degree view for a customer will be provided. The 360 degree
view enquiry will collect information from non-T24 systems and display the arrangement details of the
customer, apart from non-financial information such as related parties, last contact made with
customer, potential products to sell to customer, etc.
Data quality
The main feature of a master customer data system is to avoid duplicate data being maintained. This
will be provided at a minimum level by catching duplicate records as and when they are input through
the EB.DUPLICATE.CHECK application that is already available and then allowing users to merge the
existing duplicate records.
Products are built by users, and named activities are created for those products. Once this process is
over users may wish to publish these products as web services. For example, Create New Personal
Loan or Amend Interest Recurring Deposits may be the exposed services while personal loan and
deposits could be the named products created, with AA publishing controlling the process.
AA has many utility routines such as charge calculations and interest calculations which can be
exposed as web services so that other systems can access these functions. These routines can be
executed through an ACTIVITY which can also be exposed. Subroutines in T24 can therefore be
exposed without having to use a VERSION or an ENQUIRY.
Local reference fields from property files can be input or amended with the local reference field names
being shown as field labels rather than LOCAL.REF.1, etc
IFRS
Impairment
Impairment loss Calculation & accounting - individual assessment (Fair Value &
Schedule Provisioning)
The unrealised loss arising from Available for sale (AFS) portfolios will be booked under profit and loss
category if the underlying Security in which the portfolio held the position is classified as impaired. The
subsequent profits (i.e. still unrealised loss) after Impairment will be booked under the existing profit
suspense account. The impairment can also be cancelled and revaluation will happen as per the
existing functionality.
NB This enhancement provides part of the functionality from the strategic enhancement 9366 IFRS impairment and
reclassification.
Impairment Loss Calculation & Accounting - Individual Assessment (Fair value &
schedule provisioning)
IFRS.DATA.CAPTURE has been enhanced to accept a new operation 'CORRECTION'. Through this
it is now possible to amend the IAS.SUBTYPE and IAS.CLASSIFICATION of a contract if it has been
incorrectly classified at input. The system will reverse any previous accounting entries and recalculate
as of today.
NB This enhancement provides part of the functionality from the strategic enhancement 9366 IFRS impairment and
reclassification.
RISK.COLL.ID
COLL.CCY
ALLOC.AMT
Check that the impaired balance does not exceed the T24 balance
If the FX.REVAL field in the SEC.ACC.MASTER application is set to "Y" then revaluation of currency
profits/losses will be posted during the SC.REVAL.PROCESSING during the close of business.
Input to the FX.REVAL field is only allowed for AFS type Portfolios. The resulting revaluation entries
will be posted to the Categories as specified in the SEC.ACC.MASTER fields UNREAL.FX.PRT and
UNREAL.FX.LOSS, depending on whether there is a gain or a loss.
The actual posting method will be based on the value entered in the REVAL.POST.METHOD field of
the SEC.ACC.MASTER that is, "I/O" or "ADJ".
Reclassification
Provisioning
PV Template layouts
The selection will be triggered if the NEXT.POST.DATE from the PV.MGMNT.CONTROL record is
less or equal to the Period End date.
NB This enhancement provides part of the functionality from the strategic enhancement 9366 IFRS impairment and
reclassification.
Customer Services
Business Intelligence
The following Strategic Initiatives have been delivered in R11 GA from Business Intelligence.
T-Risk DW.EXPORT
T-Risk currently works from T24 enquiries. This SI will change T-Risk to work from DW.EXPORT data.
The benefits of this are:
Allows T-Risk and Insight to share data (single source)
Close any Gaps discovered in current implementations
Clients are all looking for an integrated Insight + T-Risk solution.
Insight DW
As BI becomes increasingly important to banks, Temenos aspires to selling Insight to any bank –
whether or not they have T24. This has significant commercial importance to Temenos and can open
doors into new accounts where the bank is not currently looking to change their core system.
To position Insight as a generic BI solution we have to publish the Insight data model as well as
publish a standard interface for Insight. In this way banks or system integrators can supply customer
and financial data to Insight via a standard interface, and then the Insight functionality and standard
reports become available to the bank.
Insight Generic
This enhancement forms the first step in making Insight a generic BI solution for any banking system.
The development of this SI will be closely linked to SI 19432 Insight Data Model.
Insight Retail Metrics
Insight is currently focused around financial measures and performance based around the bank‟s
General Ledger. This provides a variety of balance sheet and Profit & Loss reports showing actual
versus budget reporting over the financial year.
This development will define multiple levels of dashboards according to an employee‟s responsibility.
It will include a Data Event module within Insight to send email alerts.
Insight TCE
This SI enhances the existing Insight data extract tool to do the following:
Allows continuous extract of transactions during business hours
Allows intraday T24 transaction events to be generated from Insight
Allows incremental changes to be supplied to Insight rather than a full end of day extract (i.e.
customer change)
DW.EXPORT
Corporate
The following Strategic Initiatives have been delivered in R11 GA from Corporate.
Miscellaneous Deals
The MD.BALANCES record will be updated with the last day accrual amount with
PAST.SCHED.TYPE as “ADJ”.
Syndicated Loans
SL - Repayment schedules
Letter Of Credit
Payments
The following Strategic Initiatives have been delivered in R11 GA from Payments.
Funds Transfer
FT Bulk Payments
Delivery
Process Orchestration
The following Strategic Initiatives have been delivered R11 GA from Process Orchestration
PW Designer
Process Workflow Designer will allow definition of workflows by modelling the business workflows
graphically.
The PW Designer will be an eclipse plug-in and will work alongside an additional eclipse plug-in for
modelling business workflows, which, once the model is complete, exports the model in XML. The
XML export is consumed by the PW Designer plug-in, and the workflow model is then enriched with
further information required for PW, such as T24 versions, file names and related attributes. The plug-
in with then interface with T24 to create the underlying process definitions, activities etc. in PW.
Various enhancements to PW
Various enhancements to Process Workflow, including
• Pattern based workflow
• Activity Reusability
• Activity duration analytics
• Loan Origination
• Model Bank PW requirements
• Abstraction layer
Process Workflow
Activity Reusability
Arbitrary Loop
Structured Loop
Recursion
Retail Banking
The following strategic initiatives have been delivered in R11 GA from Retail Banking.
Term Deposits
The purpose of this SI was to enhance the current features in the deposit module with a generic
development approach across all product lines.
Arrangement Architecture
A loan amount can be repaid at any point of time and similarly a deposited amount can be withdrawn
at any point of time during the life of the contract. It is quite common to charge the customers for early
withdrawals or early pre-closure.
It is required to allow withdrawal or pre-closure of the deposited/disbursed amount within a time frame
termed as “Cooling-off period” without charging the customer. In case of deposits bank will not pay
any interest and for loans customer will not owe any interest.
Any charges that have been collected during cooling period need to be reversed back.
Rollover:
Term Amount controls the conditions and restrictions for the amount and term that can be committed
to the customer. Actual amount and term of the arrangement can be defined at arrangement level or
the defaulted values from the product level can be used as it is. With some products at the end of the
term, a customer can choose to rollover the account – this can be performed manually or
automatically. The option is also available to change the product at rollover.
The term definition is used to calculate a maturity date for the arrangement contract, this date can
either be entered directly or will default based upon the effective date of the property and applying the
defined term value.
In case of call contracts, both term and maturity date can be left blank, this would facilitate automatic
rollover of arrangements.
Overdue Statistics:
Overdue can either be specified in terms of days or by number of bills. This development was based
on the requirements for savings plans.
As and when a bill moves into a particular aging status, the relevant details like the current aging
status and the date of movement is stored in the respective bill. AA updates overdue status in each bill
and also updates the overall arrangement overdue status.
The information is recorded relating to overdue statistics such as number of times, average days,
average amount and the dates in which funds have moved into and out of a particular aging status.
Once an arrangement reaches a particular aging status all further bill amounts, as and when the bills
are issued, will be added to the oldest aging status irrespective of the aging status of the bill.
Relative dates in Payment Schedule:
The start date and end date can be used to define the payment schedule in such a way that all the
schedules can fall within this period. For example a deposit is required to start one month from first
receipt of funds.
* R_XXXX + 2D - (Relative event XXX and offset by 2 Calendar days forward)
* R_XXXX - 5Y - (Relative event XXX and offset by 5 Years backward)
* D_20001130 - (Exact date specified as 30th Nov 2000)
Following relative events can be defined:
* START - First deposit, first disbursement.
* MATURITY - Maturity of arrangement.
* RENEWAL - Renewal date for arrangement.
A relative date start date or end date can be defined based on events. The illustration shows how to
define an end date as maturity minus 2 weeks.
R_MATURITY – 2W.
Cancellation period:
The option of scheduling cancellation of a deposit account by specifying the number of days before
which the account will be cancelled, can be set by the number of days before hand as to when the
pre-notification advice is to be generated and sent to the customer, before the account is cancelled.
The arrangement will move to pre-close status or cancelled if not funded or partially funded
respectively.
Funds lying in the current account will automatically be moved to the unallocated balance once the
cancellation period has crossed and the account is only partially funded, with the option of redeeming
the funds that have either been fully deposited as per commitment or partially.
Any accrued interest during the cancellation period will be reversed if the account is not funded within
the cancel period. A deposit can be funded even after it has moved to cancel status, after cancellation
period, if the fund transfer is back dated. If the deposit is fully funded, backdated, account will move to
current status and if not funded or partially funded, will remain cancelled.
Pre-notification is also possible for takeover contracts, but with effect from the date of takeover and
not from the original date of contract.
Deposits:
New deposits products have been configured with auto rollover functionality.
Rollover of Deposits arrangements is similar to what is available in Lending Product line. Rollover of
the outstanding principal on the renewal date would happen based on the payment schedule definition.
The Rollover period should be within the term specified.
Funds lying either in the payable principle balance, unallocated balance or current balance can be
withdrawn with the suitably defined rules.
Excess amount paid over a bill automatically moves to the unallocated balance, thereby making it
available for withdrawal. The option of controlling the withdrawals from a contract in a given period of
time can be controlled by restrictions created; inclusive of charge creation for withdrawals more than
the permissible ones.
The charges can also be deferred over a certain period of time, depending upon the customer‟s
requirement.
A charge API for collecting charges during Partial withdrawal. A local charge amount routine can be
attached to calculate the charge amount for early redemption activity. This API can be enhanced with
different calculation methods as per the requirement of the customer.
There will be no need to create a limit – AA will do this automatically; overdraft limits can be defined
and maintained as part of the product definition.
Account rules (Activity Restriction):
This will provide a single screen through which all rules relating to the application / waiving or interest
and charges will be defined.
Periodic Charges:
The equivalent of General Charge and all of its associated tables on one screen. Charging frequency
set at product / arrangement level.
Eligibility rules:
Rules based eligibility checking – linked to rules engine - is a replacement for condition priority
Enhanced change primary owner:
The new primary owner does not need to be a joint holder. If limits are specified then they are
updated and the balances are moved to the changed primary customer‟s limit.
Products allowed for example mortgage plus current / savings account plus term deposits. These can
be defined to include mandatory products, maximum number of products, interest options and
repayment schedules.
The potential use of this facility is for example offset mortgage products, interest pooling allowing
combined interest and bonus interest in addition to arrangement level interest.
Settlement Property:
The settlement property has been enhanced to provide a facility where the user can mention an
internal account for settling the dues in case of lending arrangements and for liquidation purposes in
case of deposits and savings arrangements.
Loan Provisioning
The components of the new Provisioning Module (PV), this module will be developed in conjunction
with the Banking Frame work stream, please refer to this stream for specific details on the new module.

Accounting Type
Re-work all major retail enquiries, versions and transactions so they only show relevant and required
information (i.e. an account to account transfer that just has from and to account numbers (searchable
by customer and amount – most retail capability in model bank is very poorly thought out).
Add or enhance some process orchestrated capabilities – „one stop account opening‟ is totally
unusable – even if this is now strictly front office there are loads of similar examples – such as
payment investigations etc, that should be better automated.
Add proper retail products to model bank.
Build a model ledger that would require only moderate customisation to address most cases.
Improve the documentation.
Rebuild Teller functions around the new multi line teller delivered as part of R10.
Build better management processes associated with the new model bank.

Business Events
Securities
The following Strategic Initiatives have been delivered in R11 GA from Securities.
Internal and external holdings can exist for the same client. Hence, hybrid forms of internal and
external custody will be supported.
Even though the concept of external custody exists for the security positions, this needs to be now
extended to the cash side as well. Besides, there should also be a mechanism to segregate internal
and external positions so that there is no risk of selling the external positions.
In order to cater to this requirement, these will be the enhancements to the system at a broader level:
A. Separate identifier for external positions – these can be either
1. Designated portfolios or
2. Designated sub accounts within the same portfolio;
B. Separate identifier for external transactions;
C. Handle orders for external custody positions – both direct and those through in-house dealing
desk;
For direct orders from the portfolio manager – The transactions are captured in bank‟s
system (shadow trades) once the final settlement details are known
For trades through in house dealing desk, settlement is more complex
Example
Let us consider a following example:
Customer buys 1000 IBM @ USD 105, Commission USD 1000 and other charges USD 500
Customer Net - 106500
Brokerage - 900
Broker Net - 105900
Unlike direct orders, the settlement is more complex as there should be an additional outside trade to
settle with the custodian. In the first step, the transaction is settled with the broker. Since this position
has to be cleared, there will be a second (outside trade) to clear the position by settlement with the
custodian.
The first trade is for settlement of this transaction with the broker (in this case, ML). The existing
functionality can cater to this requirement.
The second trade is for clearing out the position from the bank‟s books by settlement with the
custodian. In this, the transaction codes from the original trade will be reversed. The price will be
recomputed to take into account the commissions and other charges in order to square-off the
accounting of the original trade, while leaving the originally generated PL entries in place. Continuing
with the above example:
Sell 1000 IBM @ 106.5 (net amount (106500)/nominal) Customer net amount will be 106500. The
broker net amount will be the same as the customer net amount (USD 106500 in this example).
The following entries will be raised for this trade:
The third trade will be the shadow trade to capture the external position in bank‟s books. From here on,
the flow for in-house dealing orders will be the same as direct orders.
D. Amend trade accounting to cater to external positions – trade will be amended to raise
contingent (off balance sheet accounting);
Example
There will be no commissions/charges on the broker side and the broker side amount will be the same
as customer side amount in all external custody transactions.
Shadow accounting
It must be noted that both the client account and suspense account are contingent accounts and will
not affect the bank‟s books.
E. Combined valuation for both internal and external custody positions – SC POS ASSET to be
enhanced to have valuations at sub account level;
F. Handle corporate actions in respect of external positions;
G. Possibility to exclude external positions from fee calculations;
Order Routing
The Securities orders result either from a modelling session (bulk orders) or specific client requests
that are captured via the front office. These orders, either individually or as a group, will be transmitted
to an executing broker. Once executed in the market, the execution details are captured in the system
and processed culminating in settlement of the transaction. The system also allows capturing of
previously traded orders.
There are instances where the orders will not be transmitted directly to the executing broker from the
front offices (branches). Instead, the orders will be transmitted to the execution hub(s) or internal
broker from the locations. The execution hubs will manage all the orders received from various
locations. In such cases, once authorized, orders will be automatically routed from the location to the
trading desk in the execution hubs. There can be more than one execution hubs in which case the
orders will be routed to the correct hub based on pre-defined rules. Once executed, the hubs will
transmit the execution details to the location where the orders originated. The orders may be
cancelled at any point of time before the execution in which case the status has to be mirrored in the
hub. Throughout the life cycle of the order, the order status will be available to both the location and
the hub.
As part of the enhancement, the orders originating from a location (company or book) will be routed to
an execution hub (another company or book) based on pre-defined conditions. The execution hub will
then handle the street side executions and pass back the order/execution status to the originating
location. Both internal and external custody orders can be routed.
An order will automatically be created in the routed company on authorization of the order in the
originating company. Once this order is executed, trades will be created both in the routed company
(for street side settlement) and the originating company for updating the actual customer positions.
In the execution hub (routed company), there will be two trades:
1. The street side trade routed through the cross trading or wash portfolio. The broker will be the
executing broker from the original order and the settlement will be to the Depository specified
in the original order.
2. The second trade will be to deliver the stock to the beneficiary. As far as the execution hub is
concerned, the beneficiary is the originating company from where the order was routed. The
originating company will be identified by means of a portfolio defined for it in the executing
(routed) company. The second (reverse) trade will be between the cross trading portfolio and
the portfolio of the originating company held in the executing company.
On completion of all the trades, cross trading portfolio will be squared off and the executing company
will report holdings of the originating company.
A diagrammatic representation of the proposed order routing system is given below:
For portfolios requiring real time valuation, valuation will be automatically performed (through service)
whenever there are triggers.
The triggers can be portfolio specific (new buy/sell transaction, funds transfer, etc.) or global (price
change) that impacts multiple portfolios.
The valuation will be automatically performed for the component that has undergone a change to
ensure that the valuation is “real time” or close to “real time” at any point of time.

and the effects on buying power are calculated. The order is only accepted and routed if the buying
power is greater than the order amount.
The calculation is made in Reference currency or Valuation currency if it is different. An override is
produced if the calculation indicates a risk.
Order Routing
Security
The following Strategic Initiatives have been delivered in R11 GA from the Security stream.
Security Processes
Secure development is the term largely associated with the process of producing reliable, stable, bug
and vulnerability free software. To address this, the security technology team has come out with
secure software Development Policy. The Objective of this document is to guide the organization, the
developers and the other stake holders to follow a secured software development lifecycle. This
document also gives guidelines on how to include security issues and requirements/mandatory
compliance requirements right from the beginning of the software life cycle. This document also
covers about the various controls to ensure that security is applied throughout the SDLC Phase.
The purpose of this guideline is also to assist the organization in building security into the Existing IT
development processes. This must result in more cost-effective, risk-appropriate security control
identification, development, and testing. This Document focuses on the information security
components of the SDLC.
This document lays down the guidelines to be followed during each phase of software development
and software maintenance at Temenos. It provides an overview of the procedures to be followed and
also lists the documents to be prepared and the templates to be used for preparing these documents.
This creates complications in terms of encrypting and storing these credentials in the Authentication
Server as well as additional costs to clients, as the most secure solution to perform such encryption is
to use numerous, expensive Hardware Security Module (HSM) to perform the encryption.
The decoupling of Authentication Server and T24 credentials reduces the number of credentials
required to, a credential for 4TRESS and one for a failover 4TRESS server; this represents a
significant saving in terms of complexity and cost to our clients.
SOA Framework
The following Strategic Initiatives have been delivered in R11 GA from SOA Framework
Customer adapter: The customer adapter is an example of an adapter that requires read only non-
transactional data access. The adapter framework will provide a database connection for the context;
this connection will be reused in subsequent calls. A client buying T24 that wants to keep an existing
Customer system will implement a "Customer Adapter" according to our T24 customer API and the
implementation will mostly contain SQL statements.
TWS Composer
Component Updates
From R09, a new update process was introduced that gave a client the ability to find and apply
„upgrades‟ on a component basis. This means it is now possible for changes to be isolated and
delivered with fewer fixes and for specific components.
The TWS Java (EE) Eclipse plug-in component is not currently available as a T24 Update. Updates
are available for the dependent components within T24. See the section of this document entitled
System Component Requirements.
TWS Overview
The TWS Java (EE) product facilitates the exposure of existing T24 functionality via SOAP web
services.
TWS Artifacts
TWS-PLUGIN
TWS (EE) provides an Eclipse plug-in environment for selecting T24 business operations to expose as
web services and for constructing the run-time TWS-WAR artifact.
Artifact: com.temenos.tws.plugin_<plugin-version>-<t24-version>.jar
TWS-WAR
The Web Application Archive (WAR) file provides a web service interface to T24 when deployed in an
application server. It is constructed by the user with the TWS-PLUGIN.
