Exception rails

RailTriggerWhere the money ends upNext action
A screening hold before settlementA party name on the payment throws a possible match against a watchlist during Buna's pre-settlement screening. The payment is held until an analyst decides.Held before settlement; delivered to the supplier once the alert was cleared. · Settled after release from the screening review — the delay was in the check, not the settlement.BunaNothing to fix in the payment itself; the alert, evidence and disposition are retained for audit. Repeated false positives on this name feed screening-tuning reviews.

What this simplifies: One payment in one currency settling gross. Real Buna operation spans several supported currencies, six-days-a-week operating windows and cut-offs, and layered compliance screening across many participants — none of that detail is drawn here.
