whilst other companies continue to process online transactions in one T24 installation. This
mode of operation is particularly suitable to implementations where a single T24
environment is used in multiple geographical locations. The time difference means that it
would not be possible to run a single Close of Business process.

Companies are categorized as Master / Lead Company and Branch Company

Master Company / Lead Company

This is the first company (normally BNK), set up in T24 with a complete set of data tables
It will be present in all types of T24 environment
Store all financial level data in its own set of tables
More than one Lead Company can exist in a T24 environment

Branch Company
Its financial level data will be shared with a Lead Company
A branch should be linked to a Lead Company
No other Company could be linked to a Branch Company
A Branch in addition will always share its local currency and Batch holiday table with the
Lead Company.

In a Multi-Company setup in an GP environment,

You can run COB for an individual company or for a group of companies. In this example
there three lead companies US0030303, JP0040404, CH0040505. Notice that two lead
companies JP0040404 and CH0040505 are in the same group 004 (digit 3-5) and one lead

Independent COB processing can take place using the GLOBAL PROCESSING (GP)
product
Different local currencies can be set up for Lead Companies

If the bank operates over a large geographical area with different time zones, and a separate
COB processing is required for the Companies using the GP functionality.

Example: Two offices of a bank one in CH (Switzerland) with local currency CHF and
another in USA with local currency USD each setup as a Lead Company.

All Branches will share the files of the Lead Company and will not have their own
files at database level.

All companies will share financial level data tables.

The Lead Company BNK and its Branch Companies BR1 and BR2, will share the
file FBNK.ACCOUNT for the Account application.
Similary, they will share the file FBNK.MM.MONEY.MARKET for the Money Market
application.

In any installation of T24 when you run COB it gets executed for all companies by default
t at means n a on – nv ronment t e process ng or a compan es ta es p ace at

must ensure that a working day in one country must be a working day for all companies.

used for the bank’s LOCAL.REGION table. This
even though the
actual financial entities may exist in different countries

8/11/2019 GP1[1].Global Processing-R10.01.pdf

In a GP Environment

The ability to allow COB processes to run at different times for companies or groups of
companies requires the system to allow each company to use a different system calendar,
since different countries will have different holidays.

Look at the example above, there are 3 lead companies in different region that is
US0010001 (New York) which is in North America, GB0010002 (London) which is in Europe
region, JP0010003 (Japan) is in Asia region.

If you would like to run COB at different times for these companies or group of companies
system should allow each company to use different a different calendar since each country
follow different holiday table.

How would you cater to this situation?

8/11/2019 GP1[1].Global Processing-R10.01.pdf

Backup of System
At the end of the online processing the system is switched offline and a backup (either tape
or disk) is made of the entire T24 database. At this point the system is unavailable to all
users for entry of transactions.

COB processing, Error Management and Recovery

The end of day process is run by the BATCH.CONTROL application. Each job run during
this process is not subject to transaction management and therefore no general recovery
procedure for the failure of an individual process.
In the event of machine failure the system must be restored from the backup taken at the
start of the end of day process and the batch process re-run.
A software failure due to unexpected conditions will generate a FATAL error from the
process. This will stop the batch process from continuing (there are a few exceptions where
the process will continue and be treated as an exception event allowing the batch to
continue). In this situation the batch can continue with manual intervention, although due to
the fact there in transaction management in the end of day process it is not possible to
guarantee the integrity of the data in this case. The only way of guaranteeing the integrity of
the data would be to restore the backup taken at the start of the batch and re-run the end of
day, this implies that the problem which caused the error will be resolved first – for most
banks this is not a practical option, the batch is set to continue with a manual correction and
the data is corrected during the next day.
On completion of the batch process another backup is usually taken. The system is then
switched to online mode and all online transactions are subject to the standard T24
transaction management. Under T24 transaction management the integrity of the data is
guaranteed in the event of software or hardware failure.

introduced. Essentially this is the ability to manage many financial entities (Multi-Company)
in a single T24 database, and allow each financial entity to work independently of date
restrictions.

In this learning unit you will learn the functionality changes required to allow processing of
different entities COB processing. The requirement is to allow the running of the COB
processes for an entity or group of entities independently from one another.

Multi-Company
T24 supports the processing and production of financial balanced books from separate
financial entities within the same database. Each entity (COMPANY) maintains it’s own
transaction base, and can share common static information such as Customers, Currency
definitions. Companies may reside in different locations and have different local currencies.
This is configurable upon creation of the COMPANY.
Each company must share a common LOCAL.COUNTRY or LOCAL.REGION table. This
implies that a shared system calendar is used for the bank’s processing, even though the
actual financial entities may exist in different countries. As a result the system may have a
local holiday defined as a working day, and an ‘empty’ processing day will exist for that
entity.
The system supports full inter-company accounting and will raise the correct inter-company
accounting entries when transactions involving accounts or P&L in different companies is
used in a transaction.
