What is CSI?
Core system Integrator or in short CSI is a new software which will replace our legacy meghdoot modules completely.
Present LAN Based Software’s Meghdoot & Speednet replaced with a new environment developed using SAP & Java and the data of all the Offices will be store to a Centrally Located Server on real time basis. Hence we call the new environment as Core System Integrator (CSI). TCS Company is the CSI Vendor for Department of Posts.
CSI comprises of two major components
1) SAP (System Applications & Products) - SAP is Online (Data feeding is completely online like Finacle & Mc-Camish)
2) POS (Point of Sale) – POS is Offline module where data is stored in Local Server and synchronized to Central Server for every 20 Minutes automatically. The modules using at present in offices are changed as follows
Work done using SAP is directly stored to central server and work done in POS Counter & Back Office will be synchronized from Local Server (present in Office) to Central Server through communications (Daily Sink & High Sink)Each office BO/SO/HO is independent and has a Facility ID. Each Employee is provided with unique Employee ID which will be default user ID for all the new set of modules in CSI. Cash & Stamp balances are separated.SO/HO/BO Daily Accounts shows only Cash figures and not include the Stamp Balances & BO Balances. As SAP & POS not included in RICT (only CBS, NREGS & eMO Payment enabled) BO Daily Accounts for all BOs are to be generated individually at AO by feeding all their receipts and payments in F&A (by voucher posting) under their office ID. BO Slips & Summary are vanished and previous days generated BO Daily accounts are to be supplied in place of BO Slips. Cash requests for BO and excess cash remittances from BO are to be raised on behalf of BO by SO Treasurer and Supervisor. Similarly in case of Stamp
indents for BOs are to be processed by AO only. Day to Day stamp sales of each BO are to be deducted by doing BO Book Item (in POS Counter under miscellaneous option by selecting respective BO). Moreover all the things explained above are to done by a single SPM in case of C Class SO which is a Herculean Task. Only POS Counter Transactions will be fetched to daily accounts and the remaining figures related to Finacle, MCCamish & Treasury Transactions will not
be fetched. They are to be accounted through voucher postings in F&A (SO and each BO separately). Proper care should be taken while doing voucher postings, the SO figures to be posted in SO ID and Individual BO figures in their specific IDs otherwise SO and BO Daily accounts closing balances will not be tallied. At the end of the day for a particular office (Facility) Physical Cash should be tallied with DOP Cash (Cash with Treasurer), POS Cash (Cash with Counter) should be ‘0’ & Cash in transit (Transit Cash)should be equal to actual transit figure cash of particular facility. Then only daily account has to be generated and leave the office.
