Submit for a decision

Once you have created the proposal you can submit it for a credit decision. For this to happen all the pre-conditions have to be fulfilled.

Decision pre-check (optional)

This allows you to check that all pre-conditions have been fulfilled and that you are able to submit for a credit decision.

If allowed, you will see 'requestAllowed: true'. If not the response will highlight what is wrong.

{
  "requestAllowed": true,
  "cancelAllowed": true,
  "preconditionViolations": [
    {
      "code": "string",
      "userMessage": "string"
    }
  ]
}

If the requestAllowed is false, please check your proposal creation set up, or correct the violations and try again.

Submit for decision

If you have had a positive result to the pre-check response (optional) above, or are confident that what you have created is correct, you may submit it for a credit decision.

  "commentToRiskAnalyst": "string",
  "siemensMayContactCustomer": false,
  "siemensMayRequestCreditData": false,
  "prelease": false
