Below is a list of system workflow steps that can be used within workflows. Institutions may see workflow steps in addition to the steps listed below. Please review the appropriate connector guide if the workflow step is connector-specific or review with a System Administrator.
Workflow Step | Description | ||
Assignment |
This step is used to change the assignment of an account or remove all assignments from an account. The account can be assigned to any Internal or Third Party queue. This step runs automatically and is not presented to users executing the workflow. This step also forces the account in the queue and overrides the queuing logic.
|
||
Change Field | This step is used to change a field value to a specified value. This step runs automatically and is not presented to users executing the workflow. Only fields with a one-to-one relationship to an account or case may be changed. | ||
Charge Off Account | This step is used to approve an account that was recommended and approved for charge off. | ||
Contact Method | This step is used to record the contact attempts made to the account holder or other liable persons on the account(s) and/or case(s). The results of each contact attempt are recorded. All of the unique phone numbers for the liable persons associated with the accounts and/or cases in context for the workflow are displayed in the Contact Method drop-down. | ||
Create Case | This step is used to create a case on a person and account. This workflow step can be configured to be a manual step to allow the user to select the case type or automated so a specific case type is created automatically. | ||
Decision |
This step runs automatically and is not presented to users executing the workflow. This workflow step is used to present a user with a Yes or No decision. Depending on the answer chosen, users are branched out into a specific path in a workflow. This step can be made automated where system administrators assign business rules to automatically guide a user down a Yes or No path.
|
||
Distribution |
This step is used to distribute accounts over multiple queues. This uses the same concept as the Assignment workflow step to force accounts in the queues and override all queuing logic.
|
||
Execute Business Rules |
This step runs automatically and is not presented to users executing the workflow. This workflow step is used to execute business rules within a workflow. Workflow rules are configured by system administrators to execute while a workflow is running in order to automatically make a decision based on certain conditions and/or display a message regarding next actions.
|
||
Income Interruption End Deferment | This step is used to terminate an active deferment by selecting a deferment date from the calendar. | ||
Income Interruption Review | This step allows users to review requests for Income Interruptions. These requests are found within the file imported from a core system into the Lifecycle Management Suite. Based on Income Interruption rules created within Rules Manager, accounts placed in the review section need to be approved or rejected via this workflow step. | ||
Manual Payment |
This step is used to record a payment on the account in context. If there is a promise on the account, the payment is applied to the promise. This step can be incorporated into a workflow if an institution does not have a payment import. Payments recorded through this step appear on the Payment History screen.
|
||
Next Contact Date | This step is used to schedule the next contact date for the account(s) in context for the workflow. Optionally, the next contact date may be applied to all of the person's accounts. | ||
Post Comment | This step is used to post a comment on a workflow. This step can be automated using a predefined comment and the workflow step will not be presented to the user. | ||
Promise to Pay | This step is used to record a promise to pay on account(s) in context for the workflow. | ||
Reason | This step is used to prompt users to select the account holder's reason for delinquency from a list of available values. | ||
Recommend for Charge Off | This step is used to recommend an account for charge off. | ||
Recommendation Approval | This step is used to approve a recommendation for charge off. | ||
Reverse Charge Off | This step is used to reverse the Charge Off status of an account. Upon successful completion of the step, all related charge off statuses, flags, fields, and transactions are cleared from the account. The account appears in Collection Queues with a classification of "Delinquency" instead of "Charge Off." | ||
Send Email | This step is used to send an email to the account holder and/or contact related to the account(s) associated with the workflow. This step can be manual by allowing the user to select an email template and recipient. This step can also be automated by using a predetermined email template and recipient list. If the step is automated, it is not presented to the user. | ||
Send Letter | This step is used to send one or more letters to the account holder and/or contact related to the account(s) associated with the workflow. Administrators can automate this workflow step to send single letters. If this step is manual, users can pick from a defined list of letter templates. | ||
Set GL Amounts | This step is used to allocate money to individual general ledger accounts during the charge off process. | ||
System Integration |
This step is a component of the Temenos Lifecycle Management Suite API. Customer-built applications can be integrated directly into workflows within the context of the Lifecycle Management Suite. Thus, these custom built applications can provide integration with the Host or other systems that the Lifecycle Management Suite does not currently integrate with, but also take advantage of the security, process control and auditing capabilities of the Lifecycle Management Suite. Please contact a System Administrator for directions in completing this workflow step. |
||
Task | This step is used to give a user a set of instructions to perform. This is used to track reasons for delinquency. Those values are configured under System Management > Workflow > Workflow Reason Codes. | ||
View Screen | This step is used to display a screen in a workflow with a set of instructions. |
