Data Corrections to be done by branches before generating IBS:

1. All DB Branches have to modify Link Branch Party Masters (M_NABCU) and enter
Liability Sector Code & Asset Sector Codes. This is required to pick correct sector codes by
system.

2. All Branches have to run R_PTYNRI. This report will give a list of NRI a/cs with
NRI flag " N " or spaces. Then branches have to run C_PTYNRI and update the NRI flag and
correct country code of the party.

3. 444 Br. - Branch has to modify organization type for VOSTRO a/cs. Org. cd. In
Party Master to be modified by branch to 21; 22; 34; so as to match with IBS SECTOR CODE
11,12,30 & 31. RBI permits these IBS sector codes Only
4. DB Branches have to tally their EEFC / DIAMOND DOLLAR Accounts with
respective RUPEE Current accounts. IBS module will pick both FC and INR balances from DB
