Financial accounts management is a Salesforce Financial Services Cloud feature that enables financial advisors totrack and manage client accounts. A financial account is any account managed by a financial institution, such as a bank, an insurance company, or an investment firm. Financial Services Cloud supports many kinds of financial accounts, such as checking accounts, savings accounts, mortgages, credit cards, investment accounts, insurance policies, and more3. Financial advisors can use Financial Services Cloud to view, create, update, and delete financial accounts for their clients, as well as link them to other objects, such as households, goals, referrals, or opportunities4.

Rollup By Lookup (RBL) summaries are available for the following objects:

Financial Accounts, which are records that represent financial products or services that a client owns or uses1.

Assets and Liabilities, which are records thatrepresent the value of what a client owns or owes1.

Contacts, which are records that represent individuals who are associated with an account3.

The following activities should be prioritized by the implementation team during planning for designing the Financial Services Cloud implementation:

Prepare for integrations with transactional systems, external data sources, custodians, and any other platforms that the company’s business relies on. Integrations are the connections or interactions that allow data or functionality to flow between different systems or platforms. You should prepare for integrations with your existing or new systems or platforms that support your business processes, such as transactional systems, external data sources, custodians, or other platforms. You should also consider the integration methods, tools, requirements, and challenges that you will need to address during the implementation.

Beyond the preconfigured settings, evaluate whether they need advanced customizations. Customizations are the changes or modifications that you make to Salesforce to meet your specific business needs or preferences. You should evaluate whether you need advanced customizations beyond the preconfigured settings that Financial Services Cloud provides out of the box, such as custom objects, fields, formulas, validation rules, workflows, triggers, or components. You should also consider the impact, benefits, and risks of your customizations on your data model, user interface, performance, security, or maintenance.

Review the out-of-the-box capabilities and compare them to the company’s current needs. Out-of-the-box capabilities are the features or functions that Financial Services Cloud offers without any customizations or configurations. You should review the out-of-the-box capabilities and compare them to your company’s current needs and expectations. You should also identify any gaps or opportunities for improvement that you can address with configurations or customizations during the implementation.

The following expectations are from implementing multi language features in FSC:

Bankers in Japan have been accessing FSC in Japanese, but the new bankers in China will be accessing FSC in Chinese. This expectation means that FSC supports multiplelanguages and allows users to choose their preferred language for their user interface and data display.

In Seoul, South Korea, the branch managers will be reviewing their FSC dashboards every morning in Korean, while their colleagues in Shanghai, China, will be doing so in Chinese. This expectation means that FSC supports multiple languages for reports and dashboards and allows users to view them in their preferred language.

The following statements about Action Plans are true:

When you work with Action Plans, you first create Action Plan Templates, which are reusable sets of tasksthat define a common clientprocess1.

Action Plans make it easy to create reports and dashboards, so you can monitor progress and ensure compliance. Users can use standard report types or custom report types to create reports on action plans, action plan templates, action plan items, action plan item templates, and action plan item owners1.

Action Plans can be used to automatically assign task owners and deadlines for specific client engagements. Users can specify task owners by using assignment logic such as specific user, role, queue, action plancreator, or account team1. Verified References: 1

The unmanaged extension package for Intelligent Need-Based Referrals and Scoring provides users access to referral dashboards and reports, as well as referral scoring and routing features.

To enable advisors to capture Once-in-a-Lifetime events and prevent users from accidentally creating more than one event of such an event type,the consultant should configure Unique event types. Unique event types are event types that can only be created once for each contact or individual, such as birth, death, or marriage. By using Unique event types, the consultant can ensure that advisors cancapture important life events for their customers and avoid duplication or inconsistency. 

Again, Action Plans are a feature that can help users track and manage common client processes. For a commercial loan due diligence process, users can create an Action Plan Template with tasks such as verifying income, checking credit history, appraising collateral, etc. Users can also assign different task owners and deadlines for each task to distribute the work and monitor the progress. Users can also use dashboards and reports to view the % completion of the due diligence process per client and report on the performance of the department to show possible bottlenecks.

To configure a custom field for reporting when relating two-person accounts to each other, the Financial Services Cloud consultant should configure the custom field on the Account Account Relationship object. The Account Account Relationship object is a junction object that links two accounts together and defines their relationship type and role. By configuring a custom field on the Account Account Relationship object, the consultant can capture additional information about how two-person accounts are related to each other and use it for reporting purposes. 

To add custom icons to the Life Events and Business Milestones, you need to upload them as static resources in Setup > Custom Code > Static Resources. You also need to update the Icon Name field on the Life Event and Business Milestone objects to match the name of the static resource. Verified References: : Salesforce Financial Services Cloud Implementation Guide, page 58.

Interest Tags are a feature of Financial Services Cloud that let users add custom tags to client records to capture client needs, interests, and prospecting opportunities. Some of the things to consider when configuring a report to show Interest Tags are:
