Selecting proposals for modification

This page allows you to search and select an asset proposal for modification. If you are aware of the type of proposal and the number identifying the proposal you can enter it directly. Otherwise, you can carry out a search by specifying the code identifying the finance book, the description of the proposal, the currency of the proposal amount and the ID of the user who has created the proposal. You can also search by specifying a range of proposal amounts, proposal numbers and expiry dates during which the proposal expires. The system retrieves all the proposals that are in the “Fresh” status based on the search criteria entered.

This page also allows you to delete the proposals that are not required. You can delete a proposal that is in the “Fresh” status. The status of the proposal after deletion is updated as “Deleted”. The system stores the login ID of the user and the system date along with the modified details.
