Number of applications from new customersover 1 working day cannot be negative (EBA rule v90256_s)

A warning in the resolution planning: critical functions and services return (RESOL2), on template Z 07.01.3.a, criticality assessment of economic functions (FUNC 1 PAY).a.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Number of applications from new customersover 1 working day (number) cannot be negative.

EBA checks it for nine rows, from payment services to MFIs (0160) to other services / activities / functions (3) (0240). That makes nine checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.

Number of applications from new customersover 1 working day (Number): Payment services to MFIs >= 0

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark Z 07.01.3 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{Z_07.01.3.a,r0160,c0200,} >= 0

The next five:

{Z_07.01.3.a,r0220,c0200,} >= 0{Z_07.01.3.a,r0230,c0200,} >= 0{Z_07.01.3.a,r0180,c0200,} >= 0{Z_07.01.3.a,r0240,c0200,} >= 0{Z_07.01.3.a,r0170,c0200,} >= 0

And 3 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

Every RESOL2 rule, by template

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
