FINACLE TRAINING LESSON 4
Previous Lesson: Finacle Training Lesson 3 [On Screen Elements]
Next Lesson: Finacle Training Lesson 5 [Nomenclature, User Interface]
Recap:
In
the previous lesson we have learnt about the various items which we see on the
finacle screen. If you have not read the previous lesson, please read it first
and then come back.
In
today’s lesson we will learn about the terminology used in Finacle.
Our
Sanchay post terminology and finacle terminology are very different. Finacle
terminology is on par with global banking nomenclature. So let’s learn it.
What is the new Finacle Terminology
Before we start the lesson please observe the following images.

Did you see all the
images? There is one thing common in all the images? What is it? FUNCTION. We will see an option
called FUNCTION in all screens of Finacle. Let’s learn what is this function?
Imagine Finacle as a
ROBOT. It will understand only Finacle language. For example let us assume that
you want to do SB Deposit transaction. To tell Finacle to open SB Deposit
screen we have to enter CTM in the menu shortcut field. After entering CTM
in the menu shortcut field and clicking on GO button Finacle will open a screen
as shown in the first image.(Please see the first image).
Now Finacle is asking us
“What do you want to do in this screen? What is your Function?” That’s why we
see an option as Function in every screen. Finacle is asking us what your
function is. We have to tell what we want to do in that screen.
Here in this case as we
want to deposit some amount in SB account, let’s see what our Function is.
In finacle, doing
transactions is called as adding transactions. Here we want to do an SB Deposit
transaction in Finacle. Technically it is called as “We are ADDING one new
deposit transaction in Finacle”. Are you getting my point? Let me explain in
more detail.
Let us assume you have a
bucket full of mango fruits. If your friend gives you more mangoes you will
then ADD these mangoes to the bucket. Some people might say we are PUTTING the
mangoes in bucket, but technically we are ADDING more mangoes to the bucket. Similarly
we ADD new transactions to Finacle.
So, since we are doing a
new deposit transaction, we choose the Function as ADD. Similarly when you are
doing a new withdrawal transaction, then also we will choose the FUNCTION as
ADD only.
Similarly,
·
when we are opening a new account, we will choose FUNCTION
as OPEN
·
When we are issuing a new cheque book to the customer, we
will choose the FUNCTION as ISSUE
·
When we are transferring an account from one post office to
another, we will choose FUNCTION as TRANSFER
·
When we are closing the account, we will choose the
FUNCTION as CLOSE.
·
When we are verifying a transaction we will choose the
FUNCTION as VERIFY
I hope you understand
what I am trying to say. We
tell finacle what we want to do by choosing appropriate function.
So that’s it for today’s
lesson. We will discuss more terms tomorrow. I’m teaching very very little in
each lesson. This is because I don’t want to confuse you by teaching so much in
one day. Also I don’t want to waste much of your valuable time. Learn the
lesson in just 10 or 15 minutes, that’s it. Spend the time with your family or
spend it for yourself.
Points to remember:
1. FUNCTION is the option
through which we tell Finacle what we want to do.
2. Function and Function code are same. They are
used alternatively.
