Application Overview
The Document Management (DM) module provides the functionality to manage the Documents
obtained from Customers for availing various facilities with a Bank. With this Module installed, it
would be possible to specify details about Classification and Types of Documents, conditions for
required Documents when a Customer relation is established and for the various facilities offered to
Customers. The module would track the Status of required Documents and it would produce
appropriate overrides or errors when the required documents are with an invalid status.
DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
1. Documents obtained from Customers could be categorised into Customer level and
Application level Documents.
2. A Customer level Document is one, which would be required to establish a Customer
Relation with the Bank.
3. For example, Passport Copy would be a Customer level Document.
4. An Application level Document is one, which would be required from a Customer only for
transactions pertaining to a particular Application. Again, an Application level Document
could be categorized into Contract Specific and Non-Contract Specific.
5. A Contract Specific Document is one, which should be separately obtained from a Customer
for each transaction in an Application.
6. For example, a Promissory Note would be a Contract-Specific Application level Document
for LD Loans.
7. A Non-Contract Specific Document is one, which would be obtained once from a Customer
irrespective of any number of transactions in an Application.
8. For example, a Loan Conditions Agreement would be a Non-Contract specific Application
level Document for LD Loans, if it would be applicable all the LD loans granted to a
Customer.
9. A Mandatory Document is one, which is specified by User as such, and which could trigger
processing of overrides or error conditions by T24.
10. A Required Document is one, which is determined by T24 based on the defined parameters,
as essential for inputting a record in an application.
11. Track means the processing done by T24 depending on the status of Required Mandatory
Documents, for a record input in an application.
12. Document data files refer to the files CUST.DOCUMENT and TRANS.DOCUMENT, which
stores the details of documents tracked for a Customer.
13. A Tracked Document refers to any Document, which exists in the document data files
CUST.DOCUMENT or TRANS.DOCUMENT.
14. Each Tracked Document in the document data files is associated with only one Customer and
it would be referred to as a Document Tracked for the Customer.
15. If details of a Document for a Customer are not stored in the Document data files, it would be
referred to as a Document not already tracked for a Customer.
16. A Customer Type is any field in a T24 application whose value would refer to the ID of
record in CUSTOMER file (i.e. a Customer of the Bank).
For example, in the application SEC.TRADE the fields CUSTOMER.NO, BROKER.NO are Customer
Types. Documents would be tracked only for pre-defined Customer Types.
1. A Related Application is an application whose mandatory required documents would be also
tracked, when a record is input in another application.
For example, when a SEC.TRADE is input, documents required for related records in the
application SEC.ACC.MASTER may be tracked. In this case, SEC.ACC.MASTER would be
referred to as a Related Application of SEC.TRADE.
A Next Document is one, which would be obtained in replacement of a document before or after its
expiry.
DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
Application Design
Topics
Design overview
The DM Module is designed around parameter files and data files. The conditions for document
tracking are defined in the parameter files and details of documents are stored in the data files.
DM.APPLICATION.INFO
DOCUMENT.CLASS
DOCUMENT.TYPE
DOCUMENT.STATUS
DOC.GEN.CONDITION
DOCUMENT.REQUIRED
CUST.DOCUMENT
TRANS.DOCUMENT
While CUST.DOCUMENT stores Customer specific documents not tied to particular transactions,
TRANS.DOCUMENT stores transaction specific documents.
Documents would be tracked when a record is accessed in an application (with file classification
CUS or FIN) with the following T24 functions: INPUT, COPY or HISTORY RESTORE.
When file update functions OFS, EBS.AUTO.FUNCTION are used, documents would be tracked
only when the target applications are accessed with the above referred functions of INPUT, COPY or
HISTORY RESTORE.
Once the DM Module is installed in a Company, its processing could be invoked from any T24
application of user’s choice.
For each application for which DM processing should be invoked, users could specify in
DM.APPLICATION.INFO, for which Customer Types (File names in the application which accept
only Customer IDs) documents need to be tracked. For example, when an FT record is input,
documents might be tracked only for DEBIT.CUSTOMER or for CREDIT.CUSTOMER or for both.
If a Customer Type for which documents need to be tracked is a multi-valued field, then documents
would be tracked for each Customer ID specified as a value of the field. For example in case of a
SEC.TRADE input, documents would be tracked for each Customer of the trade, if CUSTOMER.NO,
which is a multi-valued field, were specified as a Customer Type.
Document Status
To track documents, T24 uses Status codes associated with them. Users could specify the Status
codes in the application DOCUMENT.STATUS. A Status could be defined only as a Valid or
Invalid Status. T24 uses three pre-defined Status codes of 1 (“Received”), 2 (“Not Received”) and
3 (“Expired”), while creating document records or updating status of expired documents. The
DOCUMENT.STATUS records for these codes are supplied during product installation.
Document Groups
The Required Documents for a record input could depend on the following factors: Application in
which the record is input, Customer Type for which documents need to be tracked and finally the
value of the data input in various fields.
For this purpose, Users could specify for each application plus Customer Type combination
conditions for document grouping. The conditions for Document groups are specified in the
application DOC.GEN.CONDITION.
For example, for an FT application, the Document groups for the Customer Types DEBIT.CUSTOMER
and CREDIT.CUSTOMER might depend on different conditions.
There is also a facility to define conditions for Document groups at Application level, which would
be applicable to any Customer Type in the Application, without its own Document Groups.
In the above example, for the Funds Transfer application, the document group conditions could be
specified at FT application level, which would apply to Customer Types DEBIT.CUSTOMER and
CREDIT.CUSTOMER, if they do not have their own document group conditions.
Users could specify for each Document Group in an application, the requirements (rules) for
Document Tracking in DOCUMENT.REQUIRED. These requirements would specify the Document
Types to be tracked for the group, whether Customer level documents are to be tracked (for
applications other than CUSTOMER), and whether documents for a Related Application record also
need to be tracked.
Figure 6 – Document requirements for Document Group FT*202
While defining documents for a group, Users could specify whether a Document is Mandatory or
not (Field: MANDATORY). T24 would track only Mandatory documents and would not do any
processing with non-Mandatory documents.
While defining documents for a group, Users could specify whether a Mandatory Required
Document with an Invalid STATUS would immediately stop a record input, by setting the field
STOP.TXN to YES.
They could also specify a period of time (filed STOP.TXN.DAYS) applied from the STATUS.DATE of
a Mandatory Required Document, up to which an application record which depends on the
document, could be input; T24 would not allow such a record input after the specified time.
Confirmation Messages
A Confirmation Message is a new type of Override Message displayed by T24 in a question format;
Users could respond for the message as either YES or CANCEL (in the T24 Browser) and YES or NO
(in Reflection); the responses would be respectively interpreted as a positive and negative response.
Depending on the user response, further processing would be done by T24. A response of CANCEL
or NO would not cancel the transaction as in the case of other Override Messages.
o A CUSTOMER record is input and a Mandatory Required Document is not already tracked or
tracked with a STATUS of 2 (“Not Received).
o A record is input in any application other than CUSTOMER and a Mandatory Required
Contract-Specific Document is not already tracked or tracked with a STATUS of 2 (“Not
Received).
Screen-shot of a Confirmation Message is given below. These messages would display the
Description of a tracked Document type (BIRTH CERTIFICATE), the document group for which it is a
required one (CUS*102) as well as the ID of the Customer (300018) for whom it is tracked.
Figure 7 - Confirmation Message by T24
When a user responds to a Confirmation Message with yes, T24 would create or update a document
data record with a STATUS of 1 (“Received”). If the User response is CANCEL or NO, T24 would
create or update a document data record with a STATUS of 2 (“Not Received”). If the User wants to
input any other User defined STATUS (for example, a status code of 5 for Fax Copy Received), User
could later modify the STATUS in document data records.
When a Confirmation Messages is responded to by the User, appropriate Override Messages would
be stored in the application record. In the screenshot, for the Document IDCARD, user has responded
with YES and for the Document DOB, User has responded with CANCEL or NO.
Override Messages
For other Mandatory Required Documents not already tracked or already tracked with an Invalid
STATUS, T24 would display and store appropriate normal Override Messages.
In the screen-shot below the Document DOB (with Description BIRTH CERTIFICATE) for
Customer 30018 had been already tracked (stored in CUST.DOCUMENT) with a User defined
Invalid STATUS, and while tracking the document again when the CUSTOMER is modified, T24
displays a normal Override Message.
Any tracked document would be associated by T24 with only one Customer (ID of a record in the
CUSTOMER file).
When a CUSTOMER record is input, T24 would determine the required mandatory documents. If
any such document was not already tracked or already tracked with a STATUS of 2 (“Not
Received”), T24 would display a Confirmation Message as to whether the Document has been
received. Depending on the User response, T24 would appropriately create or update a data record
for the tracked document in the file CUST.DOCUMENT.
The table below shows the document tracking process when a CUSTOMER record is input.
When a record is input in any application other than CUSTOMER, T24 would determine the
required mandatory documents.
o If Customer level documents are required to be tracked (Field CHECK.CUST.LEVEL is YES in
DOCUMENT.REQUIRED), T24 would display Override Messages for all Mandatory
Customer level documents with an Invalid STATUS or not already tracked. If the document is
not already tracked, T24 would create the document in CUST.DOCUMENT with STATUS=2.
If the document is not already tracked, but in unauthorized status due to input from a different
application then T24 would display an Error message.
o If Mandatory documents for Related Applications are required to be tracked, (Field
RELATED.APPLN in DOCUMENT.REQUIRED is not null), T24 would display Override
Messages for all such documents with an Invalid STATUS or not already tracked.
o T24 would display a Confirmation Message whether the Document has been received for
Contract Specific Mandatory documents for the current application, if they are not already
tracked or tracked with a STATUS of 2 (“Not Received”). Depending on the User response,
T24 would appropriately create or update the data record for the tracked document in
TRANS.DOCUMENT.
o T24 would display Override Messages for Contract specific Mandatory documents for the
current application, already tracked with any Invalid STATUS other than 2
o T24 would display Override Messages for Non-Contract specific Mandatory documents for
the current application, with any Invalid STATUS.
The table below shows the document tracking process when a record is input in an application other
than CUSTOMER.
T24 would initially update document data records in an unauthorized state; it would update the live
records only when the underlying transaction is authorised by the User.
When any T24 initiated update to a document data record is outstanding in an unauthorized state,
Users would not be allowed to modify that document data record; this would ensure data integrity
of system-initiated updates.
When the User creates a new document data record and puts it in an unauthorized state, T24 would
not allow the User to commit any application input for which that document is mandatory; this
would ensure data integrity of user initiated updates.
When any application record is reversed using the REVERSE function, then all the Contract
Specific documents tracked for that application record would be automatically reversed by T24.
When a reversed application record is restored using the HISTORY RESTORE function, T24
would restore required Contract-specific documents from History, after confirming with the User
whether to restore them.
T24 would calculate and default the expiry date (Field: END.DATE) only for Documents with a Valid
STATUS, whenever any field on which the expiry date calculation depends such as STATUS.DATE,
SIGNATURE.DATE or STATUS is input, in the document data records.
If appropriate, T24 would default an expiry date in the Document data records created by it, during
document tracking.
In the screenshot below, a validity period of 30 Days is specified for the Valid STATUS 5 in the
application DOCUMENT.STATUS, which would be applicable from the STATUS.DATE. T24 has
defaulted an END.DATE of 09 AUG 2001.
Users would have an option to update a T24 defaulted expiry date with an appropriate lesser date.
On the End-of-day operations, T24 would update the STATUS of all documents expiring before the
next working day to a T24 defined status of 3 (“Expired”).
Maintenance of New Document details
Users have the option to specify details about a next document, while the current document is still
effective. For example, Users could specify the date on which a new document has been sent for
signature to replace the current one, etc.
Users always have the option to directly update the details of the current document with that of the
next one; or Users could make a valid new document received from a Customer to replace the
current one, effective from a future date (Field: NEXT.EFF.DATE in CUST.DOCUMENT and
TRANS.DOCUMENT). On the effective date, T24 would update the details of the current document
with that of the next valid document.
If the next document is with an Invalid STATUS (for example: it is not yet received or received with
an invalid status), T24 would automatically update the details of the current document with that of
the next one, on the expiry (Field: END.DATE) of the current document. For this processing to
happen, the next document should not have expired (either Field: NEXT.END.DATE is null or it is not
less than the working day next to expiry date of current document).

which define the requirements for document tracking, are Financial (FIN) type, Company specific
files; they could be used to define Company specific rules for document tracking.
The data file CUST.DOCUMENT which, stores the details of Non-Contract specific documents
tracked for a Customer is a Customer (CUS) type file; this file would be shared by all Companies
which share the same CUSTOMER file.
The data file TRANS.DOCUMENT which stores the details of Contract-specific documents tracked
for a Customer (for any application) is a Financial (FIN) type, Company specific file. The
documents tracked for an application are stored in the appropriate Company’s
TRANS.DOCUMENT file, depending on the type of application.
DM.APPLICATION.INFO
This file contains the details of T24 applications for which DM Module processing should be
invoked; it also specifies the Customer Types in the applications, for which documents should be
tracked.
Field Description
ID Any valid T24 application for which documents need to be tracked.
APPLN.MNEMONIC Specifies Mnemonic for the application, for Document Tracking purposes.
XX.CUST.FIELD.NAME Specifies the Customer Types (names of customer fields) in the
Application, for whom Documents need to be tracked. Documents would
be tracked only for the customer(s) whose IDs equal the values of the
fields defined here. Input is allowed only for Applications with File
Classification either CUS or FIN.
CUST.DOC.OVERRIDE Specifies whether an error message is to be displayed or an override
message is to be displayed while tracking non-contract specific
documents, which have already been tracked by a transaction different
from that of the application.
DOCUMENT.CLASS
A Document Class is the classification/grouping of document types at the highest level (e.g.
Account Opening Forms). No processing rules are applicable at this level.
Records of this application could not be reversed.
Field Description
ID Name of the Document Class.
XX.LL.DESCRIPTION Description of the Document Class.
DOCUMENT.TYPE
A Document Type defines the common characteristics that apply to a particular type of document; a
document obtained from a Customer would be an instance of a Document Type (e.g. Signature
Card).
Field Description
ID Name of the Document Type.
XX.LL.DESCRIPTION Description of the Document Type.
CLASS The Document Class to which this Document Type is linked to.
VERSION Version of the Document Type, for information purposes.
BEGIN.DATE Date from when the Document Type needs to be tracked.
END.DATE Date up to which the Document Type needs to be tracked.
REVIEW.FREQ Frequency at which the Document Type needs to be reviewed by the
Bank for its format, etc, and the Next Date of Review.
SIGNATURE.REQD Specifies whether a Signature would be required for Documents of this
Type.
XX.EQUIV.DOC Document Types, which are considered equivalent to this Document Type
for processing purposes.
NEW.ALL.CUST Field to indicate whether a Document of this type is required for all
customers or for only new customers created on or after the
BEGIN.DATE.
NOTICE.DAYS Period before expiration of the Documents of this type, when customers
need to be advised (for information purposes only).
CONTRACT.SPECIFIC Specifies whether a Document of this type needs to be obtained separately
for each Contract (Transaction) from the Customer.
VALID.PERIOD Specifies the period up to which a Document of this type is valid from the
date specified as VALID.BASE.DATE.
VALID.BASE.DATE Specifies the date (at document level), to which the above defined
VALID.PERIOD would be applied to calculate a document’s Expiry
Date.
XX.VALID.COMPANY Specifies the Companies(s) in which this Document Type needs to be
tracked.
Tracking of a Document Type could be permanently stopped by specifying the field END.DATE.
When none of the main document or its equivalent documents has been already tracked, then if a
Confirmation Message is to be displayed by T24, it would display the message for the main
document first. If the User responds with CANCEL/NO, then it would display the message for the
first equivalent document, and then it would continue to display messages for each equivalent
document until User responds with YES. T24 would then create a record only for the Document for
which the user has responded with YES, with a Status of 1 (“Received”) in the document data files.
If the User does not respond as YES to any one of the main document or its equivalent documents,
then T24 would create a record only for the main document with a status of 2 (“Not Received”) in
the document data files.
DOC.GEN.CONDITION
This file defines the conditions for Document Groups for any T24 application defined in the file
DM.APPLICATION.INFO.
The conditions might be specified for each Customer Type in an Application or at Application level
that could apply to any Customer Type without its own record for Document grouping.
For a record input in an application, document group(s) for the Application plus Customer Type
combination would be determined from this file; Documents required for all such group(s) would be
tracked for the Customer Type. If no matched Group could be found, then documents would not be
tracked for the Customer Type.
To stop documents tracking for a Customer Type in an application, records of this application could
be reversed.
When documents are tracked for multiple customers in an application, and a value of the field to be
tested for determining document groups is associated with the Customers for whom documents are
tracked, it would be possible to specify this through the field ASC.CUS.FLD.
For example, if documents are tracked for each Customer in a SEC.TRADE and if the Customer
Residence of each Customer is to be compared to determine the document groups, then: In
DOC.GEN.CONDITION for SEC.TRADE, specify the DECISN.FIELD as CUSTOMER.RESIDENCE
which would be a multi-valued field returning one value for each Customer in the transaction, and
then set the field ASC.CUS.FLD to CUSTOMER.NO. When Documents are tracked for each Customer
(CUSTOMER.NO), then the value of CUSTOMER.RESIDENCE corresponding to that Customer would be
used for comparison purposes.
It is also possible to attach a local sub-routine in the DECISN.FIELD to test other conditions.
The local subroutine must be defined on the PGM.FILE as a V type program and while specifying it
as a value of DECISN.FIELD in DOC.GEN.CONDITION; any valid field name of the application
specified in the ID of the record could be specified as its parameter.
The local subroutine is called from the T24 subroutine DM.GRP.CONDITION to determine the
relevant group(s) the contract falls (if any).
The local subroutine must be defined to accept the following arguments:
APPLN: Name of the application
ID.APPLN: ID of the application record for which documents are tracked
R.APPLN: The application record itself
FIELD.VALUE: Value of the field specified as parameter in the routine attached to
DOC.GEN.CONDITION. If the parameter specified is multi-valued field
and a value is also specified for ASC.CUS.FLD, then this value would be the
value of the parameter field corresponding to the value of ASC.CUS.FLD.
COMPARISON: Value of DECISION in DOC.GEN.CONDITION
DATA.FROM: Value of DECISN.FROM in DOC.GEN.CONDITION
DATA.TO: Value of DECISN.TO in DOC.GEN.CONDITION
CONDITION.OK: Value returned should be null or 0 for False or any other value for True.
Field Description
ID Format of the ID will be "Application Mnemonic*Customer Field Name",
where the first part will be the Mnemonic defined for an application and
second part will be a customer field name defined for that application in
DM.APPLICATION.INFO. Second part of the ID is optional.
SCAN.ALL.GROUP Specifies whether T24 should stop with the first matched group or
whether it should scan all Group(s) to determine all matching Document
Group(s).
XX<DOC.GROUP Specifies a name for the Document Group.
XX-XX<DECISN.FIELD Could be either a local subroutine name or a field defined in the
STANDARD.SELECTION record for the application (identified by the
first part of the key field).
XX-XX-DECISION The comparison operator for the condition to be evaluated.
XX-XX-DECISION.FROM The constant, which the value derived from the DECISN.FIELD is
compared to.
XX-XX-DECISION.TO The upper value used for field value comparisons based on ranges where
the DECISION field is defined as NR (Not in Range) or RG ( in Range).
XX-XX>ASC.CUS.FLD Name of the Customer Field in the application associated with the
Decision filed (DECISN.FIELD) in the set.
Example: SCAN.ALL.GROUP = YES. A record input satisfies the conditions specified for Groups
101, 102 and 103. Then T24 would track the Mandatory Required Documents for all the Groups
101, 102 and 103. If the value is NO, then T24 would track documents specified for the Group 101,
which is the first matched one.
DOCUMENT.REQUIRED
This application specifies for each Document Group (defined in the file DOC.GEN.CONDITION),
the requirements for documents tracking.
If no record exists for a Document Group in this application, then no documents would be
determined as required for that group.
Field Description
ID Format of the ID will be "Application Mnemonic*Document Group",
where the first part should be the Mnemonic defined for an application in
DM.APPLICATION.INFO and second part should be a Document Group
Field Description
(field DOC.GROUP in DOC.GEN.CONDITION) for the application
defined in the first part.
CHECK.CUST.LEVEL Specifies whether for this group, customer level documents (documents
required for CUSTOMER input), should be also tracked in addition to
other application level documents.
XX<DOCUMENT.TYPE Specifies Document Type(s) which needs to be tracked for the Group.
XX-MANDATORY Specifies whether the Document Type is Mandatory or Optional.
XX-STOP.TXN Specifies whether a transaction needs to be stopped, if a required
Mandatory document is invalid. Stopping the transaction would be
subject to the value of the field STOP.TXN.DAYS.
XX-STOP.TXN.DAYS Specifies the Number of days (calculated from a document's Status Date
in the file CUST.DOCUMENT or TRANS.DOCUMENT), after which a
required Mandatory document with an invalid status, would stop a
transaction input.
XX>TXN.PROCESSING Specifies whether the document type needs to be tracked for transactions
input from a related application or not.
XX<RELATED.APPLN Specifies the related application(s) (other than CUSTOMER) whose
required mandatory documents also need to be tracked.
XX-APPLN.ID.LINK Specifies the name of a field in the application specified in the first part of
the ID (application in which a transaction is input), which links to the
related application.
XX>APPLN.CUS.FLD Specifies the name of a customer field in the Related Application.
Documents for the related application would be tracked for the Customer
whose ID is equal to the value of this field in the related application's
appropriate record.
Then it would track the application level documents (for the LD application) for Customer ID 1000
specified in the multi-value field DOCUMENT.TYPE.
Stop Transactions
Whether a Mandatory document with an Invalid STATUS should stop a transaction could be
specified by setting the field STOP.TXN to YES. If a Confirmation Message is displayed for such
documents, and the User responds with CANCEL or NO, T24 would display an Error Message and
control would return to the application record being input. If only an Override Message is displayed
for such a document (for example, a Non-Contract specific document with an Invalid STATUS), after
displaying the Override Message, T24 would display an Error Message and control would return to
the application record being input.
If the field STOP.TXN.DAYS is set to a specified number of days, then the above referred stopping of
a transaction would occur only when the application record is input after the specified number of
days calculated from the STATUS.DATE of the document.
Restrict Tracking of a Required Document only for input from Main application
It is possible to restrict a required document type (Field: DOCUMENT.TYPE in
DOCUMENT.REQUIRED) for tracking only when input is made from the main application; in such
a case, the document would not be tracked from any other Related Application. This could be
specified by defining a value of NO (do not track for input from another application) in the field
TXN.PROCESSING.
Example:
Electronic Statement Agreement (ELESTMT) is a required Document Type for ACCOUNT Document
Group 101 (In DOCUMENT.REQUIRED record with ID AC*101, ELESTMT is specified as a value of
the field DOCUMENT.TYPE). For this document, the field TXN.PROCESSING is set to NO. The
document type ELECSTMT would be tracked whenever an Account is input which belongs to the
Account Document Group 101.
DOCUMENT.STATUS
This file stores the details of Status codes used in the document data files CUST.DOCUMENT and
TRANS.DOCUMENT.
Records with IDs 1 (“Received”), 2 (“Not Received”) and 3 (“Expired”) are supplied during
installation and these Status ID values are used by T24 in processing. While Status 1 is a valid one
(VALID=YES), both Status 2 and 3 are invalid (VALID=NO).
However, for workflow reasons, an option is available to the Users to modify the Status 1 to an
invalid one (VALID=NO).
The document IDCARD is mandatory for a transaction input and set with STOP.TXN=YES in
DOCUMENT.REQUIRED. When IDCARD is tracked for the first time and the User responds with
YES to the T24 Confirmation Message, the input would not be stopped and T24 would create the
Document with the invalid Status 1. However, when the document IDCARD is again subsequently
tracked and if the document IDCARD is still with Status 1 (an invalid status) in
CUST.DOCUMENT or TRANS.DOCUMENT, the input would be stopped.
Users could define their own Status codes in this application, which could be either Valid or Invalid
(Field: VALID set to YES or NO).
Field Description
ID ID can be any positive integer subject to a maximum of 10 characters.
XX.LL.DESCRIPTION Description of the status.
VALID Specifies whether this status, if attached to a Document tracked for a
customer would make it valid or invalid.
VALID.PERIOD For a valid status (Value of the Field VALID is YES), this field specifies the
period up to which a Document of this status is valid. The validity period
could be calculated either from STATUS.DATE (in the file
CUST.DOCUMENT or TRANS.DOCUMENT) or from its calendar
year beginning, for a document of this status.
CUST.DOCUMENT
This file stores details of non-contract specific documents tracked for customers. Such documents
could be Customer level documents tracked for CUSTOMER record input or Non-Contract specific
documents tracked for record input in any application other than CUSTOMER.
For example, an IDCARD is a Customer level document tracked for CUSTOMER record input,
while a LOANAGREEM is an Application level document tracked for an LD record input. Both are
Non-contract specific and would be stored in the file CUST.DOCUMENT.
It would be possible to specify the details of the Next Document, while the current one is still
effective.
Records in this application could be created or updated by both the User and T24 as explained in
this document.
Field Description
ID Format of the ID must be "Customer ID.* Document Type ID", where the
first part refers to the ID of the Customer for whom the document is
tracked, and second part refers to the ID of the Document Type.
REFERENCE.NO Specifies the reference for the document, if any.
BEGIN.DATE Specifies the Date from which the Document is tracked in T24.
STATUS Specifies the Status of the Document.
STATUS.DATE Specifies the Date from which the Status applies to the Document.
XX.LL.STAT.DETAILS Specifies the remarks if any, on the current status of the document.
SIG.DATE Specifies the Date on which Signature has been obtained on the Document.
END.DATE Specifies the expiry date of the document.
DOC.SEQUENCE Specifies the Sequence Number of a Document, to distinguish documents
obtained on expiry of an earlier one.
LAST.UPD.DATE Specifies the date the record was last updated.
Field Description
LAST.UPD.APPLN When the document record is updated by T24, this field specifies the
application from which T24 is updating it.
APPLN.TXN.REF When the document record is updated by T24, this field specifies the
transaction reference number of the application, from which T24 is updating
it.
UPDATE.BY Used for T24 processing.
If a document is with a Valid STATUS, T24 would default the Expiry Date (Field END.DATE) of a
document (in CUST.DOCUMENT or TRANS.DOCUMENT), whenever the fields STATUS OR
STATUS.DATE or SIG.DATE is updated by the User.
1. Expiry Date calculated as per the validity period (Field: VALID.PEIOD) specified for the
STATUS in DOCUMENT.STATUS and
2. Expiry Date calculated as per the validity period (Field: VALID.PEIOD) specified for the
document type in DOCUMENT.TYPE.
The User would be allowed to update the T24 defaulted date only to an appropriate lesser date.
Whenever T24 creates or updates a document data record with STATUS 1 (“Received”), it would
default an Expiry Date, if there is a validity period defined for the document type in
DOCUMENT.TYPE.
If T24 does not default an Expiry Date, then User could specify any date not less than the Bank
Date as Expiry Date.
On the End-of-day operations, T24 would update the STATUS of all documents expiring before the
next working day, to a T24 defined status of 3 (“Expired”).
It may be required to send reminders to a Customer or forward the next document for signature, etc,
before the expiry-date of a current document. It is possible for a User to specify the Status and
other details associated with a Next Document, while the current one is still effective, in the fields
from NEXT.STATUS to NEXT.END.DATE.
The Bank might obtain the Next Document signed from the Customer before the expiry of the
current one. When the Next Document is received, Bank would like to make it effective
immediately or from a future date. It is always possible for the User to directly update the details of
the current document (Fields from REFERENCE.NO to SIG.DATE) with that of the next Document, if
the next one is to be made effective immediately. Whenever the User directly updates the details of
the current one with that of the next document, care should be taken by the User to increment the
field DOC.SEQUENCE by 1 to indicate that the current document has been replaced with a new one.
However, the User would have an option to make a Valid Next Document effective from a future
date, by specifying a value for the field NEXT.EFF.DATE. T24 would automatically update the
details of the current document with that of Next one on the Effective Date specified by the User.
If the Next Document is with an Invalid STATUS (field NEXT.STATUS), Users would not be allowed
to make it effective from a specified future date.
After expiry of the current document, if the Next Document is with an Invalid STATUS and not yet
expired, T24 would automatically update the details of the current document with that of Next one.

on 16.02.2002. Bank desires to make it effective only from 21.03.2002 (after expiry of the current
document), and use the current document till its expiry.
Step 1: On receipt of the new Promissory Note on 16.02.2002, User could update the details of the
Next Document, with the following details, to make it effective from 21.03.2002.

TRANS.DOCUMENT
This file stores details of Contract specific documents tracked for customers, in all applications
other than CUSTOMER.
When a transaction is reversed in an application, its related documents in this file would be reversed
by T24.
TRANS.DOCUMENT Field Description

ID Format of the ID must be "Customer ID.* Application Mnemonic *
Transaction ID * Document Type ID", where the first part refers to the ID
of the Customer for whom the document is tracked, second and third part
refer to the Application and Record ID for which the Document is tracked,
and the last part refer to the ID of the Document Type.

BEGIN.DATE Specifies the Date from which the Document is tracked in T24.
STATUS Specifies the Status of the Document.
STATUS.DATE Specifies the Date from which the Status applies to the Document.
XX.LL.STAT.DETAILS Specifies the remarks if any, on the current status of the document.
SIG.DATE Specifies the Date on which Signature has been obtained on the Document.

LAST.UPD.APPLN When the document record is updated by T24, this field specifies the
application from which T24 is updating it.
APPLN.TXN.REF When the document record is updated by T24, this field specifies the
transaction reference number of the application, from which T24 is updating
it.
UPDATE.BY Used for T24 processing.
DM.DOCUMENTS.TRACKED
This file stores T24 generated records with details of documents tracked for an authorized
application record.
Field Description
ID Format of the ID is "YYYYMMDD * Application Mnemonic * Transaction
ID", where the first part refers to the date the application record input,
second and third part refer to the Application and Record ID for which the
Documents are tracked.
xx-DOCUMENT Specifies the IDs of both CUST.DOCUMENT and TRANS.DOCUMENT
records tracked for the application record input.
Figure 14 – DM.DOCUMENTS.TRACKED Example
1. Determine for which T24 applications, document tracking needs to be invoked. For each such
application, determine the Customer Types for whom documents need to be tracked. Input
these details in the application DM.APPLICATION.INFO.
2. Determine whether any additional Status such as Advice Sent, Signature not obtained, etc.
need to be used in addition to the system installed Status records.
If so, determine for each Status:
• Whether such Status could be valid or invalid.
• If valid, determine what would be the period of validity, if any, for such status.
• Whether the validity period could be applicable from the STATUS.DATE or from its
calendar year beginning, for documents with this status?
3. Determine the Document Class and Types, which need to be tracked by T24.
In particular, determine for each Document Type:
• From and up to when it needs to be tracked?
• What would be the frequency for reviewing the format, etc. of it?
• Whether a signature is mandatory for documents of that type?
• Whether there could be any equivalent documents?
• Whether it would be applicable only to new customers?
• What would be the validity period that would be applicable to a document of that
type?
• Whether the validity period could be applicable to a document of that type either
from its STATUS.DATE or SIGNATURE.DATE?
• Whether the validity period could be applicable from the date specified above or
from its calendar year beginning?
• Whether it is required only in specified Companies?
4. If there are multiple Customer Types in an application, determine whether the conditions for
Document Grouping would differ for them or they would share the common conditions. In
the first case document groups need to be defined for each Application plus Customer Type
combination and in the later case document groups need to be defined only at each
application level.
5. For each such combination, determine distinct document groups with unique document
requirements, and the conditions under which this grouping could be done. Input the details
of the Document Groups in the application DOC.GEN.CONDITION.
6. For each Document Group defined above, determine the requirements for Document
Tracking.
In particular, for each Document Group:
• Determine the Document Types, which need to be tracked.
For each Document Type, determine:
• Whether it is Mandatory or not?
• Whether its Invalid STATUS would immediately stop a transaction input?
• Whether its Invalid STATUS would stop a transaction input only after a specified
number of days from its STATUS.DATE?
• Whether Customer level documents also need to be tracked?
• Determine the Related Applications whose documents also need to be tracked.
For each Related Application, determine:
• Which field in the current application would hold the value of a Record ID in the
Related Application?
• For which Customer Type in the Related Application, documents need to be
tracked?
7. If there exists non-Contract specific documents, which were already tracked for a Customer,
input their details in the application CUST.DOCUMENT. The date of their original receipt,
etc. should be input as STATUS.DATE. Also input their current STATUS, etc. Ensure that the
Expiry Date (Field END.DATE), if any defaulted by T24 is correct; if not modify the record to
hold the correct Expiry Date.
8. Do a similar exercise for Contract specific documents and input their details in the
Application TRANS.DOCUMENT.
The following demonstration illustrates T24 screenshots for setting up parameter files for invoking
document tracking for an LD Loan input, with a requirement to track Customer level Documents
and documents for the DRAWDOWN.ACCOUNT in related application ACCOUNT, in addition to
documents for LD input itself. It also illustrates the T24 Overrides and Confirmation Messages
displayed, while the documents are tracked.
User inputs record for LD Application in DM.APPLICATION.INFO and specifies Customer Types
for whom documents need to be tracked in LD.
User inputs record for Related Application ACCOUNT in DM.APPLICATION.INFO and specifies
Customer Types for whom documents need to be tracked in ACCOUNT.
• The record applies at Application level, for any Customer Type in LD, without its own
document group conditions.
• Conditions for Document Group 202 is defined for LD Loan Contracts with CATEGORY=21050
1.8. User inputs Document Group conditions record for Related Application ACCOUNT in
DOC.GEN.CONDITION.
• The record applies at Application level for a Customer Type without its own record.
• Group 301 defined as a default group, which would apply to any Account.
1.9. User inputs Document requirements record for CUSTOMER Document Group 102 in
DOCUMENT.REQUIRED.
1.10. User input document requirements record for ACCOUNT Document Group 301 in
DOCUMENT.REQUIRED.
1.11. User input document requirement record for LD Document Group 202 in
DOCUMENT.REQUIRED.
Mandatory Required Documents: IDCARD (Not already tracked) and DOB (Not already tracked).
Response by T24:
• Since document IDCARD is not already tracked, it displays a Confirmation Message. User has
already received the document and he responds with YES.
• Since document DOB is not already tracked, it displays a Confirmation Message. User has not
received the document and he responds with CANCEL or NO.
Figure 26 - T24 Confirmation Message for document IDCARD after CUSTOMER Input
Figure 27 - T24 Confirmation Message for document DOB after CUSTOMER Input
2.2. T24 has created the following Documents in the file CUST.DOCUMENT, based on the User
response.
• Record for the Document IDCARD with STATUS=1 (“Received”).
• Record for the Document DOB with STATUS=2 (“Not Received”).
2.3. User inputs a new ACCOUNT for the Customer ID 300018 already created..
• Customer level: IDCARD (with a Valid STATUS of 1) and DOB (with an Invalid STATUS of 2).
• For own Application: Contract Specific document ACOPENFORM (Not already tracked).
Response by T24:
• Since document IDCARD is with a Valid STATUS of 1, it does not display any Override Message.
• Since document DOB is with an Invalid STATUS of 2, it displays an Override Message.
• Since Contract-specific document ACOPENFORM was not already tracked, it displays a
Confirmation Message. User responds with YES, since he has received the document.
Figure 29 - Override for Invalid Customer level document DOB after ACCOUNT Input
Figure 30 - Confirmation Message for Contract Specific Doc. ACOPENFORM after
ACCOUNT Input
2.4. T24 has created a record for the document ACOPENFORM with STATUS=1 (“Received”) in the file
TRANS.DOCUMENT, based on the User response.
2.5. User inputs a new LD Loan Account (CATGORY=21050) for the Customer ID 300018 already
created, with DRAWDOWN.ACCOUNT=40436.
• Customer level: IDCARD (with a Valid STATUS OF 1) and DOB (with an Invalid STATUS of 2).
• For Own Application: Non-Contract Specific document LOANAGRMT (Not already tracked).
• For Own Application: Contract Specific document PROMNOTE (with STOP.TXN flag set to YES
and Not already tracked).
• For Related Application ACCOUNT: Contract Specific document ACOPENFORM for the
ACCOUNT with ID 40436 (equal to value of DRAWDOWN.ACCOUNT) and for Customer ID 300018
(equal to value of field CUSTOMER in the ACCOUNT record) (with a Valid STATUS of 1).
Response by T24:
• Since documents IDCARD and ACOPENFORM are with Valid STATUS, it does not display any
Override Message.
• Since document PROMNOTE was not already tracked and it is Contract specific document for the
current application, it displays a Confirmation Message. User responds with NO, since the
document has not been received.
• Since the field STOP.TXN flag is set to YES for the document in DOCUMENT.REQUIRED, it
displays an Error Message and control returns to the application record.
Figure 33 - Error Message for Invalid Doc. PROMNOTE (Stop.Txn Flag set to YES) after
LD Input
2.6. User again commits the above record and now responds with YES for the Contract-specific
Document PROMNOTE Confirmation Message.
• Customer level: IDCARD (with a Valid STATUS OF 1) and DOB (with an Invalid STATUS of 2).
• For Own Application: Non-Contract Specific document LOANAGRMT (Not already tracked).
• For Own Application: Contract Specific document PROMNOTE (with STOP.TXN flag set to YES
and Not already tracked).
• For Related Application ACCOUNT: Contract Specific document ACOPENFORM for the
ACCOUNT with ID 40436 (equal to value of DRAWDOWN.ACCOUNT) and for Customer ID 300018
(equal to value of field CUSTOMER in the ACCOUNT record) (with a Valid STATUS of 1).
Response by T24:
• Since documents IDCARD and ACOPENFORM are with Valid STATUS, it does not display any
Override Message.
• Since document DOB is with an Invalid STATUS of 2, it displays an Override Message.
• Since document LOANAGRMT was not already tracked, it displays an Override Message. It does
not display a Confirmation Message, since it is not Contract-Specific.
• Since document PROMNOTE was not already tracked and it is a Contract-specific document for
the current application, it displays a Confirmation Message. User now responds with YES, since
he has received the document.

after LD Input
2.7. T24 would store in the application record, the details of User response (Received or Not
Received) for the Confirmation Messages displayed by it.
