Request of Amendment
Transaction RMTRAM
The transaction is used to forward a Detrimental Amendments to the claiming bank. The concept 'detrimental' includes all amendments that change a contract to the claiming bank's disadvantage. The “Request of Amendment” panel provides the user with all the fields contained in the amendment message.
The transaction does not update contract data; this is carried out by the “Amending” (RMTAME) transaction.
Each respective amendment transaction is autoregistered in all amendment requesting transactions. After receiving approval, the registered process can be taken up and the actual change can be carried out in the “Amending a Rembursement” transaction. At the same time, all fields are loaded in the amendment transaction that have been entered in this transaction, thus avoiding having to re-enter the data.
On approval, the bank using the application will be informed of their approval by the claiming bank and updates the contract, i.e. in the amendment transaction the data will be stored permanently.
A request of amendment is rejected by sending a “Common Messages” (RMTFRE). It is only possible to delete the autoregistration manually. This deletion has to be done, as otherwise redundant data would remain within the system.
As long as there is still an autoregistration of the contract for the transaction, the application generates a warning at each start of an associated contract/subcontract, indicating that there are still pending amendment requests that have not yet been accepted.
Requirements
An existing Reimbursement contract which is open, not closed and confirmed.
The number of amendments must be less than 999.
