📢 New Accounting Interface in Post Office : Key Guidelines Effective Immediately

From 04.08.2025, we are transitioning to a new accounting interface under IT2.0 - Advance Postal Technology 2.O. To ensure smooth operations, please adhere to the following protocols:

1. Same-Day Accounting (Mandatory)

• The T+1/T+2 accounting concept is discontinued.
• All entries must be tallied before proceeding with Shift/Day End.

2. Treasury Module Updates

• Strictly follow Day Begin and Day End procedures in the Treasury module.

3. SO/HO Workflow

• Step 1: Generate the IPPB report (Finacle).
• Step 2: Enter all deposit/withdrawal transactions in APT 2.0.

4. Sub-Account Management

• SAP: Sub-accounts are zero (non-functional).
• APT 2.0: Sub-accounts are fully operational—ensure all SO/HO tasks are completed here.

5. Daily SO Checks

Before generating SO Daily Account:

✅ Verify BO Daily Account.

✅ Generate BO Summary.

6. BO Bag Handling (Critical)

• Morning: Close & despatch BO bags via Bag Management Module.
• Evening: Receive & open BO bags in the software.
• Non-compliance: BO transactions won’t reflect in SO balances.

7. HO Reconciliation

Collect these reports daily:

1. HO Summary (DTR)
2. SO Summary
3. Cash Book
4. Cash Account

8. Account Closing Protocol

• SOs: Close account bags via software only—manual closure will block HO receipt.
• BOs: Same rule applies for BO-to-SO transfers.

9. BO-First Accounting Ladder

• BO is the foundation—monitor daily. Unlike SAP, discrepancies must be resolved same-day.

10. System Performance Note

• Central server handles all transactions (POS, Treasury, Sub-Accounts, Postman).
• Expect variable speeds—plan workflows accordingly.

Finacle Tip: Execute CSMDAY after HISCOD is mandatory from 04.08.2025.
