Business area
A business area contains individual business topics that include various roles and authorisations. It is the new term for “specialised procedures” (ExtraNet term). The definition was deliberately changed because the scope of NExt's functions differs from that of ExtraNet.
User managers are always authorised for business areas and can manage their users’ business topics within these areas. A business area summarises one or more related business topics of a business unit.
Examples:
Supervisory reporting system
Supervisory dialogue
External sector reporting systems – Banks
External sector reporting systems – Nonbanks / Individuals
Financial statistics
Cashrecycling Meldeverfahren
Cash Electronic Data Interchange
Business topic

A business topic refers to various roles and authorisations within a work area. The term “business topic” replaces the term “business process function”, which is familiar from ExtraNet.
A business topic corresponds to a user role and allows access to several NExt basic services (e.g. submissions and status overview, provisions, dialog). “Normal” users are entitled to business topics in NExt.
Business identifier

A business identifier is the identifier code for a business area, e.g. Bankleitzahl, RIAD-Code, LEI, MFI-Code, GLN, Meldenummer.
Status indicator

The status indicator is a standardised form of feedback from the Bundesbank to users on the status of their submissions. At a glance, the customer can see directly what processing step the submitted file has reached.
User manager
Customers in NExt authorise their own employees as the user manager of their enterprise for user creation and administration in NExt.
Their tasks include, for example:
Approval of applications by own users for access to NExt
Release profile and authorisation changes of these users
where applicable: Create and directly maintain user data for their own users
Overview of existing users
Delete inactive users
Support the own users in the event of blocking
User managers are defined for one or more business areas. User managers can also act as normal users at the same time. In order to use the basic services in NExt, the user manager must be authorised for the relevant business topics.
