Definition

A bank product and the reference product assigned to the bank product form a unit within the operative banking application that has to be separated in IS-B so that costing can be carried out. This separation is necessary when transactions are costed on the basis of account balances, and it is possible to change the +/- sign, which means that both credit and debit balances are possible.

IS-B only makes provision for costing procedures for daily balances, or average balances which refer to one side of the balance sheet. This means you have to create two bank products, or one bank product with two product variants.

Example:

Alternative 1 Bank product 1 Current account overdraft

Bank product 2 Demand deposit

Alternative 2 Bank product Current account

Product variant 1 Loan

Product variant 2 Deposit

In external data transfer, the daily balances, or the account turnovers used to calculate them, are only transferred once, although either the asset-side or the liabilities-side transactions may be transferred. For costing, the system must know the other side of the balance sheet as well. By assigning a reference product or a reference product variant, you create a reference to the common costing base "Account".
