You postpone the posting date to the next posting day, either manually or automatically.
Account carryforwards are posted with the current date (system proposal) as the posting and value date.
Due standing orders are executed.
Planned items whose posting date matches the posting date in the system are posted. (See also Processing Planned Items ).
Forward orders whose posting date matches the posting date in the system are posted (see also Processing Forward Orders ).
You can balance accounts either in a mass run or an individual run. If you have entered the corresponding settings, interest is also compensated during account balancing.
The contract amount is collected on the collection date. Term agreements are fixed on the term start date. Correspondence for the prenotification of maturity is initiated on the predefined date. Term agreements are called if the maturity date has been reached (see also: Fixed-Term Deposit Processing ).

Special features:
Mass processing can run in the background (batch).
You can use parallel processing to improve system performance, whereby the accounts are divided into intervals and transferred to different jobs. Customizing settings enable you to control the number and distribution of the jobs to different computers.
Prepared call-ups of the application log are available for the evaluation of all periodic tasks.
