Operational Guidelines for amended ITRS software for acquisition of trade data from Banks

Introduction:

Presently two applications are in use i.e. SBPSHED for invisibles and HS for visible or trade transactions. There is no change in the SBPSHED application. However instead of HS application SBP is now providing a new application namely HSQ. The only difference between these two applications is the additional data requirements on trade data i.e. Quantity, Unit, Price/Unit and Incoterm (i.e. FOB, CIF etc.). So from now onwards data entry of November regarding trade data should be recorded through HSQ instead of HS, which is valid only up to October this month.

We are providing here some important guidelines to help implement the system smoothly.

1. Take backup of your previous data. Especially make copy of sbschh.dbf because this will be overwritten when you copy the newly provided sbschh.dbf.
2. A zip file (HSQ.ZIP) is enclosed herewith. Kindly copy it to your folder from where you already running the previous HS system.
3. Decompress this zip file.
4. Start using the system by writing HSQ now instead of HS.
5. There is no other change on operational side and you can therefore continue with your existing practice of preparing disk for SBP.                                 

           So it is a simple 123 go.

NOTE: Please don’t forget to fill up the additional four fields of Quantity, Unit, Price/Unit and Incoterm in the new HSQ system.
