Some content of this manual is being considered for archiving. If there is content you use regularly, please email [email protected] to let us know as soon as possible.

There is no automatic repayment from SAFE to the customer. Any payment found to be proper to a customer record on another HoD system, or requiring repayment must initially be transferred to OAS.

Payments can only be allocated to OAS from Unallocated Payments on the SAFE Customer Account Record (CAR) which can be viewed on the Unallocated Payments Worklist. The SAFE Unit deal with all transfers of payments between and from SAFE accounts. Where a payment held on the Unmatched Payment Worklist requires reallocation/repayment from SAFE it must  be done from a CAR. If no CAR exists and it is not possible to create one using data imported from the Corporate Data Framework the user will have to create one (see DMBM101010). This is achieved by using the next available pseudo pre computer/legacy reference held by the SAFE Team and inputting the name and address details. The payment is reallocated from Unmatched Payments to Unallocated Payments on thenew CAR using the function Manage Unmatched Payment.

Once the payment is held in Unallocated Payments it is transferred to OAS by selecting the OAS transfer function within Manage Unallocated Payments. The payment is marked to indicate that it is either proper for repayment or is to be held for further reallocationto another HoD. Items are transferred to OAS in an overnight Batch Process. Instructions for dealing with the payment should be passed to the OAS team.

Items transferred to OAS from SAFE will appear on the OAS Daily Statement in the range H00001 to H99999. Items for repayment will appear with an In-posting code REP. Items to be held waiting further reallocation will appear with an In-posting code DHO.

The SAFE Unit deal with all aspects of the work relating to the OAS H Range.

No repayment interest will be calculated by SAFE as part of this process. But any previously credited repayment interest can be included in the amounts transferred to OAS.
