Transactions Done Outside Finacle Will Not Be Extracted In GL

DMCC CBS Instructions 16.10.2019 : Transactions Done Outside Finacle Will Not Be Extracted In GL.
Dear Sir,
Any transactions done outside finacle will not be extracted in GL.
These certificates have come for closure and we cannot migrate it immediately also.
Hence it has to be closed manually with necessary error book entries and approval of competent authority.
POs should not use this an opportunity to do manual voucher posting .
Further there is a T CODE in CSI :
ZFSI_DOC_LOG which will list all manual voucher posting for CBS transactions.
As part of vigilance these reports should be checked. When these manual voucher posting is reflecting, there should be necessary error book and approval.
Thanks and Regards
