The start customer no – assume that this number is 100
While generating CIF numbers, the system will automatically assign the number ‗000000100‘ to
the first customer of your branch, assuming that the branch code is 000. This conforms to the CIF
mask maintained for the bank. The next customer will be ‗000000101‘ and so on.
If the option ‗Auto Generate CIF Numbers‘ is checked in the ‗Bank Parameter Preferences‘
screen and the start CIF is zero or null, the new customer number will be generated for the
branch as per the current running sequence number of the Head Office.
End Customer No
Just as you specify a Start Customer Number, you have to indicate the End Customer Number
also. You will not be allowed to maintain customers beyond this range.
Let us assume that the ‗End Customer No.‘ is 99999. As per the mask and the end number, the
last customer CIF number that is generated at your branch will be ‗000099999‘.
Start Dummy Customer Number & End Dummy Customer Number
You should also maintain a dummy customer number range in this screen. When maintaining a
dummy range, you should ensure that dummy CIFs and the actual range do not overlap with one
another.
The dummy CIF range will be used for account number generation. As explained earlier, the
account number can be generated based on the following account mask:
‘bbbTZCCCCCCSd’
Where,
bbb – is the branch code
T – indicates the account code
Z – is the currency type
CCCCCC – is the CIF number of the customer
S – is the sequence number for a combination of account code, currency type and
customer
d – is the control number generated by ‗Modulo 11 with Weights‘ algorithm (explained
earlier)
To recall, the sequence number that is automatically generated by the system is for an account
code + currency type + customer combination. The sequence number is a single digit number
(from 1 to 9). This means that, for the same combination, you will be allowed to maintain only
nine accounts. To eliminate this limitation and to allow maintenance of more than nine accounts
for the same combination, the dummy customer number range will be utilized. This is explained
with the help of an example.
