A cash account identifies the cash account name and number used for a specific settlement currency for a specific custodian. A unique cash account is comprised of a bank code, cash account, and settle currency. You can associate a single cash account with multiple custodian bank codes for a custodian.
Add Custodian Bank Codes
In the Codes workspace, you identify custodian banks by creating code values with a code category name of CUSTODIAN BANK. A custody location refers to the custodian bank in combination with the custody account number. When you set up custodian bank codes for use in cash segregation, you can hold a single asset at more than one custody location.

Cash Account Detail | ||
Settle Tolerance Trade | 528 | Specifies the maximum dollar amount difference accepted when matching bank settlements with trade amounts for open receivables/payables during automated cash matching based on actual cash settlements. If the difference exceeds this tolerance, the system does not allow a match. This tolerance applies to cash with a cash category of Principal (TRADE). The default value of zero indicates an exact match is accepted; enter a non zero value to indicate an acceptable difference. |
Settle Tolerance Income | 527 | Specifies the maximum dollar amount difference accepted when matching bank settlements with income amounts for open receivables/payables during automated cash matching based on actual cash settlements. If the difference exceeds this tolerance, the system does not allow a match. This tolerance applies to cash with a cash category of Income (INCOME).

Settle Percent Tolerance Trade | 770 | Specifies the maximum percentage difference accepted when matching bank settlements with trade amounts for open receivables/payables during automated cash matching based on actual cash settlements. The system applies the percentage to the open receivable/payable amount. If that amount is less than or equal to the difference between the actual settlement amount and the open receivable/payable, it is considered within tolerance and the system allows a match. If you enter both a settle trade tolerance and a settle trade percent tolerance, the system applies the more restrictive tolerance value. The default value of zero indicates an exact match is accepted; enter a non zero value that is a whole number to indicate an acceptable difference. For example, enter 50 to indicate 50 percent. |
Settle Percent Tolerance Income | 769 | Specifies the maximum percentage difference accepted when matching bank settlements with income amounts for open receivables/payables during automated cash matching based on actual cash settlements. The system applies the percentage to the open receivable/payable amount. If that amount is less than or equal to the difference between the actual settlement amount and the open receivable/payable, it is considered within tolerance and the system allows a match. If you enter both a settle income tolerance and a settle income percent tolerance, the system applies the more restrictive tolerance value. The default value of zero indicates an exact match is accepted; enter a non zero value that is a whole number to indicate an acceptable difference. For example, enter 50 to indicate 50 percent. |
Settle Date Tolerance | 9699 | Specifies the maximum difference in days accepted between settle dates when matching bank settlements with open receivables/payables during automated cash matching based on actual cash settlements. If the settle date difference exceeds this tolerance, the system does not allow a match.
