1 Introduction
1.1 Data Monitoring Overview
GPP Data Monitoring enables a financial institution to apply fraud and risk detection validations to
transactions during transaction processing.
A financial institution can define reference data that GPP uses to perform various Data Monitoring
validations (see Validation Types) on each transaction. GPP routes each transaction that does not
pass the defined validations to a specific queue for manual handling. An authorized GPP user must
access each transaction via the GPP user interface to determine continued transaction processing.
Note: Each transaction that passes all defined validations continues with the generic Straight-Through
Processing (STP) workflow.
For more information about the GPP user interface, see the GPP Online Help.

1.2 Validation Types
GPP enables a financial institution to define the various Data Monitoring validations to perform on
transactions during transaction processing.
If a transaction does not pass all defined validations, GPP routes the transaction to the Monitoring
Review queue for manual handling.
Note: GPP performs only those validations that are explicitly defined.
A financial institution can define the following types of validations:


Account: Using an Accounts profile, a financial institution can define various validations for each
account that is party to a transaction:
-

Active Account: Validates that each account is active as per a defined date.

-

Valid External Agreement: Validates that each account in an outgoing transaction has a valid
external wire agreement as defined using a start and end date.

-

Category: Validates that each account is not of one of the defined categories.

-

Daily Totals: Validates that each account does not exceed daily aggregate totals, for either
transaction amount or transaction count, as calculated by GPP.



Associated Beneficiary: The transaction’s originator (debtor) account and beneficiary (creditor)
account must be associated, that is, the accounts must have been party to at least one previous
transaction with each other. GPP generates a unique combination of fields to determine whether
the originator and debtor accounts are associated.



Restricted Beneficiary: The transaction’s beneficiary (creditor) account cannot have a Restricted
Beneficiary profile (see Restricted Beneficiary Profile) defined in GPP.



Other: A financial institution can define business rules to perform other validations, such as
checking for a specific Method of Payment (MOP). For more information, see Business Rules.

1.3 Target Audience
This document is intended for GPP users and business analysts who need to understand the Data
Monitoring functionality in GPP.
Note: This document assumes that the reader is familiar with generic GPP processing flows and
concepts.

For additional information, see the following:


GPP Online Help: Describes the basic procedures required during transaction and paymentrelated message processing via the GPP UI. This guide also describes GPP reference data, such
as profiles, business rules, and other interface entities.



GPP System Integration - Single Transaction Business Guide: Describes how GPP integrates
with various external interfaces during transaction processing.

2 Data Monitoring Processing
GPP processes each incoming and outgoing transaction individually using GPP workflows that follow
a standard high-value processing flow. GPP determines the correct workflow for each transaction
using defined GPP reference data, such as profiles, business and system rules, and configured
system parameters.
As part of the standard workflow, GPP invokes the Data Monitoring business object (BO) to verify that
each transaction passes the defined Data Monitoring validations (see Validation Types). GPP invokes
the dedicated business object between the Compliance and Balance Inquiry workflow stages.
For more information about the Data Monitoring workflow, see Data Monitoring Workflow.

2.1 Data Monitoring Workflow
During the standard GPP transaction processing workflow, GPP invokes the Data Monitoring
business object to verify that each transaction passes all defined validations and to determine
continued transaction processing.
The Data Monitoring business object does the following:


For each outgoing transaction, GPP accesses the relevant Accounts profile (see Accounts Profile)
to determine whether aggregate totals require validation. If defined, GPP does the following:
-

Adds the transaction amount to the daily aggregate amount for the account

-

Increments the daily aggregate transaction count for the account

-

Verifies that the transaction does not exceed the daily aggregate transaction amount for the
account, as defined in the Data Monitoring profile (see Data Monitoring Profile).

-

Verifies that the transaction does not exceed the daily aggregate transaction count for the
account and count totals, as defined in the Data Monitoring profile.

Note: If GPP does not identify a relevant Data Monitoring profile for the transaction, validations
are not performed but aggregates are calculated.
If a transaction exceeds either daily aggregate total, GPP sets the transaction with a
MONITORING REVIEW status and routes it to the Monitoring Review queue for manual handling.
Note: GPP rolls back the daily aggregate totals for an account if the transaction is subsequently
canceled or rejected during manual handling.


For each transaction, GPP invokes Data Monitoring Profile Selection rules to determine whether
the transaction has a relevant Data Monitoring profile. GPP does one of the following:
-

If a transaction meets the conditions defined in a rule, GPP evaluates the defined Data
Monitoring profile to determine which validations are required.

-

If a transaction does not meet the conditions defined in a rule, GPP exits the Data Monitoring
BO and continues with the standard transaction processing workflow.

Global PAYplus | Data Monitoring | Business Guide

Page 4



After determining which validations are required by the relevant Data Monitoring profile, GPP
performs the validations and does one of the following:
-

If a transaction fails any of the defined validations, GPP sets the transaction with a
MONITORING REVIEW status and routes it to the Monitoring Review queue for manual
handling.

-

If a transaction passes all the defined validations, GPP exits the Data Monitoring BO and
continues with the standard transaction processing workflow

For more information about manual handling, see Reference Data Management and Transaction
Handling.

3 Manual Handling
The GPP user interface enables authorized users to do the following:


Handle Transactions: Upon determining that a transaction requires manual handling, GPP
routes the transaction to the Monitoring Review, where an authorized user must access the
transaction to determine continued processing. For more information, see Transaction Handling.



Manage Reference Data: An authorize user can manage, create, and update the reference data
required for Data Monitoring. For more information, see Reference Data Management.

3.1 Reference Data Management
The GPP user interface enables authorized users to manage the following profiles that implement
Data Monitoring:


Accounts: A user can create and update data about individual accounts. For more information,
see Accounts Profile.



Data Monitoring: A user can create and update data about validations stored in this profile. For
more information, see Data Monitoring Profile.



Restricted Beneficiary: A user can create and update data about a restricted beneficiary stored
in this profile. For more information, see Restricted Beneficiary Profile.

GPP also enables authorized users to define and execute the following Data Monitoring tasks:


Upload Associated Beneficiaries: Uploads a list of associated beneficiary combinations. For
more information about the task, see Upload Associated Beneficiaries Task.



Upload Restricted Beneficiaries: Uploads a list of restricted beneficiaries. For more information
about the task, see Upload Restricted Beneficiaries Task.

3.2 Transaction Handling
During transaction processing, GPP can route a transaction to one of the following queues for manual
handling:


Monitoring Review Queue: GPP routes a transaction to this queue after determining that a
transaction did not pass a Data Monitoring validation defined for it. An authorized user must
access the transaction in the queue and do one of the following:
-

Release: The user releases the transaction for continued processing. GPP routes the
transaction to the Approve Monitoring Review queue where another authorized user must
access the transaction and approve it for continued processing.

-

Cancel: The user cancels the transaction, which routes the transaction to the final status
Canceled queue to end transaction processing.

-

Return: The user returns an incoming FED message. GPP generates a Return message and
transmits it to the Fedwire Securities Service. GPP routes the transaction to the Returned
queue for continued processing.

Global PAYplus | Data Monitoring | Business Guide

Page 5



-

Reject: The user rejects an incoming SWIFT message. GPP generates a Reject message
and transmits it to the relevant MOP. GPP routes the transaction to the Rejected queue for
continued processing.

-

Send to Repair: The user decides that the transaction requires additional manual handling by
sending it to the Repair queue. GPP routes the transaction to the Repair queue for additional
manual handling by another authorized user.

Approve Monitoring Review Queue: Upon release from the Monitoring Review queue, GPP
routes a transaction to this queue where another authorized user must do one of the following:
-

Approve: The user approves the transaction for continued processing and GPP routes it to
the standard transaction processing workflow.

-

Refuse: The user refuses to accept the decision to release the transaction from the
Monitoring Review queue. GPP routes the transaction back to the Monitoring Review queue
for additional manual handling.

4 Data Monitoring Reference Data
GPP reference data includes business rules, system rules, profiles, and other definitions that
implement the transaction and payment-related message processing.

4.1 Business Profiles
GPP uses business profiles to determine how to process each transaction and payment-related
message.
GPP requires the following types of business profiles to implement Data Monitoring:


Accounts Profile



Data Monitoring Profile



Restricted Beneficiary Profile

4.1.1 Accounts Profile
The Accounts profiles stores information about individual accounts defined in GPP.
Data Monitoring accesses the following fields in the General tab of the profile:


Activation Date: The date on which the account becomes active and can be a valid party in a
transaction.



External Agreement Indicator: An indicator that determines whether a valid external wire
agreement exists for outgoing transactions for the account.
-

Start Date: The date on which the external wire agreement becomes valid.

-

End Date: The date after which the wire agreement is not valid.

Data Monitoring accesses the following fields in the Preferences tab in the profile:


Category: A list of categories that GPP uses to determine whether to route a transaction to the
Monitoring Review queue for manual handling. A user can select one or more categories, each of
which requires manual handling for a transaction to which the account is party.



Balance and Count for Data Monitoring: An indicator that determines whether GPP performs
validations using the aggregate transaction amount and count.

For more information about this profile, see the GPP Online Help.

Global PAYplus | Data Monitoring | Business Guide

Page 6

4.1.2 Data Monitoring Profile
The Data Monitoring profile stores information about Data Monitoring validations. GPP invokes Data
Monitoring Profile Selection rules (see Business Rules) to determine if a transaction is associated with
a specific profile. If a transaction meets the conditions defined in the rule, GPP performs the
validations that are defined in the profile.
The profile has the following fields:


Name: The name of the profile.



Description: A description of the profile.



Associated Beneficiary Validation: An indicator that determines whether GPP performs an
associated beneficiary validation.



Restricted Beneficiary Validation: An indicator that determines whether GPP performs a
restricted beneficiary validation.



Limits Validation: An indicator that determines whether GPP performs a validation using the
daily aggregate totals.
-

Daily Amount Limit: The amount over which all transactions for the account on a specific day
cannot exceed.

-

Daily Count Limit: The number of transactions over which all transactions for the account on a
specific day cannot exceed.

For more information about Data Monitoring validations, see Validation Types.

4.1.3 Restricted Beneficiary Profile
The Restricted Beneficiary profile stores information about a restricted beneficiary. During transaction
processing, if GPP identifies that an account is defined with this type of profile, GPP routes the
transaction to the Monitoring Review queue for manual handling (see Transaction Handling).
The profile has the following fields:


Name: The name of the profile.



Bank Type: The type of bank of the profile.



Bank ID: The bank identifier.



Account Type: The account type of the profile.



Account ID: The account identifier.

Note: The Upload Restricted Beneficiaries task enables authorized user to upload a list of restricted
beneficiaries that GPP uses to generate this type of profile. For more information, see Upload
Restricted Beneficiaries Task.

4.2 Business Rules
GPP invokes business rules to determine transaction and payment-related message processing using
specific transaction attributes and other related information.
Each GPP business rule has a set of conditions and a related action. The conditions refer to attributes
of a transaction or other associated reference data. GPP performs the action if a transaction meets
the defined rule conditions.
Data Monitoring requires the following business rules:


Data Monitoring Filter: GPP invokes this type of business rule to determine which validations to
perform for a transaction. For more information about validations, see Validation Types.

Global PAYplus | Data Monitoring | Business Guide

4.7.1 Clean Profile Deleted Entries Task
This task enables an authorized user to delete from the database various profiles that were
designated as deleted by an authorized user.
The task deletes the following Data Monitoring reference data:


Associated Beneficiaries: The associated originator and beneficiary account combinations that
have not been accessed for a specific number of calendar days. GPP accesses these
combinations when performing Associated Beneficiary validations (see Validation Types).
The ASSOCBENEKEEP system parameter defines the number of calendar days for which GPP
retains associated beneficiary account combinations when executing this task. For more
information, see System Parameters.



Daily Aggregates: The daily aggregate amounts and counts that were calculated during
transaction processing. GPP accesses these daily aggregate totals when performing Data
Monitoring validations.
The ACCTAGGRGTKEEP system parameter defines the number of calendar days for which GPP
retains aggregate transaction amounts and counts when executing this task.

Note: GPP performs a hard delete of the relevant reference data during task execution.

4.7.2 Upload Associated Beneficiaries Task
This task enables an authorized user to upload a file that contains a list of associated beneficiary
account combinations, which GPP requires for Data Monitoring functionality.
During transaction processing, GPP determines whether a transaction’s originator and beneficiary
accounts must have been party to at least one previous transaction with each other. If GPP
determines that a combination does not exist, GPP routes the transaction to the Monitoring Review
queue for manual handling (see Transaction Handling).
Note: This task does not affect previously uploaded or defined data.

4.7.3 Upload Restricted Beneficiaries Task
This task enables an authorized user to upload a file that contains a list of restricted beneficiary
accounts, which GPP stores in Restricted Beneficiary profiles.
During transaction processing, GPP determines whether a transaction’s beneficiary account has a
defined Restricted Beneficiary profile. If GPP determines that the transaction has a Restricted
Beneficiary profile, GPP routes the transaction to the Monitoring Review queue for manual handling
(see Transaction Handling).
The RESTRICTED_BENE_PATH system parameter defines the path to the upload source file. For
more information, see System Parameters.
Note: This task does not affect previously uploaded or defined data.
