Introduction
Document Purpose
This document provides an overview of the Account Statement Narratives functionality and describes how
the functionality can be configured to meet specific business requirements. It is aimed at business users
that will work with the system and implementation teams that will configure it.
Assumptions
It is assumed that the reader of this guide is proficient in the Temenos Core Banking system, worked with
the Browser channel application and understands the structure and navigation of the
InclusiveBankingSuite Role Based Home Pages. For configuring the functionality, it is assumed that the
reader has prior implementation experience and understands the technical concepts of the Temenos
Core Banking system.
Exclusions
None.
References
InclusiveBankingSuite Role Based Home Pages user guide.
Parameterisation
Parameterisation of account statement narratives is done from the System Parameters >> General section
of the selected Role Based Home Pages.
The Narratives menu opens the enquiries/applications used in the parameterisation of the account
statement narratives functionality.
Narrative Parameters
The Narrative Parameters section presents the narrative parameters defined in the system.
Column Description
Narrative Format List of the narrative formats linked in this parameter record.
The options displayed above the list or beside each narrative parameter, execute the following functions:
Option Description
New Parameter Opens Narrative Parameter application for new record input.
List Formats List all multi-language Narrative Format records for the selected
narrative format.
Narrative Parameter
Narrative Parameter application allows input/editing of the parameter records.
The parameter (record) Id can be defined as:
2-character value referencing SYSTEM.ID stored on the statement entry being processed and
raised by the system’s application. Let’s call it the application main parameter record. E.g. for
entries raised:
• by FUNDS.TRANSFER application, SYSTEM.ID is FT
• by TELLER application, SYSTEM.ID is TT
• by PD.PAYMENT.DUE application, SYSTEM.ID is PD
• by AA.ARRANGEMENT.ACTIVITY application, SYSTEM.ID is AAAA, but in this
application it will be defined as AA
2-character value referencing SYSTEM.ID concatenated with transaction type available in the
underlying application. Let’s call it the transaction specific parameter record. Such Id format
allows linking of narrative formats over multiple parameter records – to avoid huge parameter
record when many transaction types are used within SYSTEM.ID/application – and to improve
readability. The transaction type used when the narrative is being built is taken from the
application control field, as defined on the application main parameter record. E.g.:
• Parameter record FT-BC will be used for statement entries raised by
FUNDS.TRANSFER transaction with TRANSACTION.TYPE = BC – as the control field
for FT is defined as TRANSACTION.TYPE.
• Parameter record TT-900 will be used for statement entries raised by TELLER
transaction with TRANSACTION.CODE = 900 – as the control field for TT is defined as
TRANSACTION.CODE.
During narrative build, when the transaction specific parameter is not defined, then the application main
parameter is used. I.e. the transaction specific parameter takes precedence over the application main
parameter.
The application screen is presented below.
Field Description
Here a field from the above Application for the condition check is
defined.
Value Value for the above condition check. This can be either a constant
value, or a special keyword:
&&ACCOUNT&& - account number for which statement
narratives are being built.
&&ARRANGEMENT&& - AA arrangement reference linked
to account for which statement narratives are being built.
Statement Format The narrative format to be used when the condition specified
above is satisfied. The main (default) language format should be
linked here, and if narratives are being built in a different language,
the respective language format will be used (if defined)
automatically by the system. Only narrative formats defined for the
same application used on the parameter record can be used.
Control Field Optional field from the above application, that can be used in the
record id for more specific definition of the parameter records. E.g.
for FUNDS.TRANSFER, instead of linking all funds transfer
narrative formats on single parameter record with ID equal to FT,
by setting the Control Field to TRANSACTION.TYPE, it is possible
to define parameter records per FT transaction type (e.g. FT-AC,
FT- BC, etc.)
Read from history? This flag says whether the system should read transaction record
(for which narrative is being built) from history file. If not set, the
transaction record would be only read from live file.
Special Keywords
The two special keywords (&&ACCOUNT&& and &&ARRANGEMENT) are used for discerning the
debit/credit side of transaction or arrangement activity.
In this example:
For a FUNDS.TRANSFER transaction with type equal to AC (internal account transfer), if the narrative is
being built for the account that appears in the DEBIT.ACCT.NO field of the transaction, the
Narrative Formats
The Narrative Formats section presents all narrative formats defined in the system.
Column Description
The options displayed above the list or beside each narrative parameter, execute the following functions:
Option Description
New Format Opens Narrative Format application for new record input.
Narrative Format
Narrative Format application allows input/editing of the parameter records.
Field Description
Application T24 application that generates the transaction for which the
narrative is being defined.
Transaction Type User-defined transaction type for this narrative, that can be used
for filtering account statement display. The transaction types
available for selection are defined on EB.LOOKUP table with key
EM.STMT.TRANS.TYPE.
Field or Text This multi-value field defines the components of the narrative. In
this field either a valid field from the above Application can be
defined, or a constant text – enclosed in double quotes.
Narrative Conversions
The table below list the conversions available in narrative format definition.
Conversion Description
ACCTSAMECUSTOMER Returns null value if the account with number given by field value
does not belong to the customer for whom account statement is
being built
ACCTOTHERCUSTOMER Returns null value if the account with number given by field value
belongs to the customer for whom account statement is being built
There can be multiple conversions applied on the same field. In the example below:
AA Parameters
The AA Statement Parameter application is used for parameterising display of financial components of an
AA transaction.
Record Id is in format <aa_product_line>-<language_code>, thus it is allowed to configure display
separately for different AA product lines and different languages.
Field Description
Properties Tab
Attributes The attributes selection define the way transactions are presented
on a statement. The following attributes are available:
Show.properties – to show financial components of AA
Net.opposite.entries – to net accounting entries on the
same property, with opposite amount and different balance
type
Net.property.balances – to net balances with opposite
amounts between different properties
Net.reversal.entries – to net accounting entries on the
same property, with opposite amount and opposite
reversal mark
Show.reversals – to show reversal transactions
Property Name Name of the property for the financial component available in the
property class. This is a sub-value field under Property Class.
Include Balance Type Definition of balance types within the property that will affect
running balance on the statement.
Field Description
Balances Tab
Balance Type Balance type (prefix). This is a sub-value field under Property
Class. This field together with Balance Group below allows
assigning balance types to balance groups.
Balance Group Balance group the above balance type should be assigned to.
Field Description
Narratives Tab
Credit Narrative The credit narrative (i.e. for credit movement). The narrative can
include special keywords:
&&PROPNAME&& - name of the property on which there
is balance movement, as defined in the Properties tab.
&&BALGROUP&& - name of the balance group in which
the movement happened, as defined in the Balances tab.
Debit Condition This sub-value field under property class, defines condition for
displaying the debit narrative format given in the Debit Narrative
field (on the right). It can be either:
<balance_group>-<property>, which means that the
respective debit narrative will be used if there is a debit
movement on the <balance_group> of the <property>. The
<balance_group> must be one of the groups defined in the
previous screen for the respective property class of the
<property>.
“DEFAULT” text, which means that the respective debit
narrative will be used if no balance/property specific
condition is found. The default condition should be always
defined as the first condition.
Debit Narrative The debit narrative (i.e. for debit movement). The narrative can
include special keywords:
&&PROPNAME&& - name of the property on which there
is balance movement, as defined in the Properties tab.
&&BALGROUP&& - name of the balance group in which
the movement happened, as defined in the Balances tab.
In the record above, Credit Condition defined as OVERDUE-ACCOUNT, means a credit movement on
the OVERDUE group (so credit on GRC, DEL, NAB balance), for ACCOUNT property. In such case, the
component narrative will be ‘Repaid &&BALGROUP&& &&PROPNAME&&’, which in the end will display
as ‘Repaid Overdue Principal’ – the keywords will be replaced by the descriptions defined for balance
group and property.
