 Product Change (Card Pool)

Definition

An Account Management (FS-AM) business object that represents the exchange of the product a card pool is based on (source product) with a target product. The target product can be a new version of the source product or a completely different product. The system always chooses the valid version of the target product.

A product change (card pool) can be necessary if the customer or the bank requires considerable contract changes at a particular time in the present or future. You can carry out a product change for an individual card pool or for any number of selected card pools in a mass run. A product change can also be linked to a particular event for the participant cards (such as exchange or renewal).

In Account Management (FS-AM) , a product change is managed as an orderby Order Management (FS-AM-OM) . A product change always has two steps:

  1. To schedule the card pool for a product change, create and activate an order for product change.

  2. To carry out the actual product change, execute the order.

You can carry out a product change either for an individual card pool, for selected card pools in a mass run, or linked to a particular event.

For each attribute group, you can define whether the field values of the source card pool or the attributes of the target product have priority in a product change.

Use

The product change (card pool) is done either manually in dialogmode or automatically using a Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI).

The product change (card pool) function can use the business transaction category (Entry Origin or Processing Origin field) to identify the channel used to process it.
