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.
