Limit Change for Participant Account

  1. You increase the committed limit of the participant checking account ACC1 to EUR 150,000. When you save the increase, the system checks the limits for the facility. During the limit check, the system finds that the nominal utilization of the checking accounts ACC1 and ACC2 (EUR 150,000 and EUR 80,000) would exceed the global internal limit of master contract MC1 (EUR 200,000). The system generates an error message. Therefore, you do not make the change.

  2. You decrease the committed limit of the participant checking account ACC1 to EUR 50,000. The system updates the facility utilization.

Facility Display Function

After you have reduced the committed limit of participant checking account ACC1, the system shows the following calculation result for the utilization when you display the facility for the master contract.
