On this page, you will find information about the Master data functional area in Lucanet Banking & Cash Management (BCM). Master data is the basic, rarely changed information that BCM uses in all operational processes: identities, bank accounts, bank profiles, banks, EBICS parameters, and companies. You create the master data once and update it if necessary; BCM uses it in payment transactions, in cash management, and in the AWV report.

The Master data functional area can be found under Banking & Cash Management | Master data and is displayed as follows, for example:
