This document briefly describes the steps to be followed in the CODA/FINSTA process. The CODA/FINSTA transactions are processed using the Process CODA/FINSTA transaction program. The parameters entered on the start-up panel are stored as per the user and used as defaults, if the same user starts the CODA/FINSTA process again. The whole process of creating transactions based on the CODA/FINSTA transfer files is steered by a job control string (see Setting up the CODA/FINSTA functionality (Belgium/Netherlands) for more information). These are the steps:
- Merging the CODA/FINSTA files of the different banks into a main work file (inter bank / intern company)
- Checking and screening the CODA/FINSTA data and if the CODA/FINSTA file is not in the correct format, an error list is printed and the process is stopped.
- Create the CODA/FINSTA work files
- Create the general interface work files (based on the CODA/FINSTA work files)
- Creation of the open batch header, creation of the open batch transactions, settlements (based on the general interface work files)
- Print the control and/or error list (depending on the selection parameters entered on the Process CODA/FINSTA transaction panel)
- Copy the CODA/FINSTA file to the log file
- Reorganisation of the CODA/FINSTA files (if selected on the Process CODA/FINSTA transaction panel). Note: Reorganisation will just increase the processing time and will not delete any CODA/FINSTA transactions from the work file.
