#Financial Services Cloud6 discussing

I'm running up to the deadline to be compliant with Reg S-P. I've contacted Salesforce to get their statement assuring notification of breaches of their system that may expose our data. The regulation says they need to notify us within 72 hours. My "rep" says this requires a legal addendum to our contract. I find that hard to believe. 

1) Has anyone been told the same? 

2) Has anyone found a different method that meets compliance? (ex: SF Documentation they are compliant with GDPR) 

 

Thanks, 

Bob

    Bob — yes, you're not alone. We've heard the same from others navigating this with large SaaS vendors. Salesforce routing it through a legal addendum is pretty consistent with how they've handled similar requests. 

     

    To your second question: beyond a formal addendum, other approaches that firms have used include a written questionnaire or attestation from the service provider acknowledging the 72-hour notification obligation, or documenting a risk-based vendor oversight decision if a contractual commitment isn't obtainable. The SEC gave some flexibility here — what matters is that your written policies reflect a reasonable effort to obtain that assurance and that you can demonstrate it during an exam. 

     

    On the preparedness side, it's worth getting clear now on exactly what NPI lives in your Salesforce org — things like account numbers, SSNs, income data, credit info, or transaction history. If a breach occurs, Reg S-P requires you to notify affected individuals within 30 days of becoming aware, and the notice needs to clearly describe what information was compromised, the potential risk of harm, and what steps individuals can take to protect themselves. Knowing your data footprint in advance makes that process significantly less painful. 

     

    For what it's worth, our team at LASER Credit Access works with financial institutions on Salesforce regularly and these compliance questions come up a lot. Happy to compare notes if it's helpful. Good luck on the deadline.

Hi All,

 

I am configuring a custom ARC graph for the Person Account record, and running into an issue with displaying fields for the Contact-Contact relationship record nodes, as well as Account-Contact Relationships not displaying the record name. See attached. Any insights?

 

Thank you,

Hi all !  Do you know if FSC can get financial data from suppliers such as life insurance, banks etc ?  I'm trying to understand if it's possible to agregate external financial data within Salesforce.  Thanks a lot !

    Hi Michael - yes this is a common scenario for our customers given on the whole, financial account data is mastered outside of Salesforce and then ingested to perform a particular task. Various integration options are available including via batch or API, of course we have Mulesoft to help, and also via Data Cloud would be another option.

 Hi, does anyone know why Financial Account records are not appearing in the Household section and are showing under the Person Account instead? As in the Image 1 which has no data and image 2 is person account has data (bank account).

    @Devendra Singh

     

     

    This is expected behavior in

    Financial Services Cloud and is driven by the FSC data model.

    Financial Accounts are not directly owned by the Household. They are linked to Person Accounts via Financial Account Roles, and the Household aggregates data based on those relationships.

    If the account appears under the Person Account but not the Household, check the following:

    ✔ The Person Account is correctly added as a Household Member

     

    ✔ A

    Financial Account Role

    exists (e.g., Primary Owner / Joint Owner) 

    ✔ The role is associated with the correct Person Account 

    ✔ Household rollups are enabled and recalculated

    In FSC, the Household view is relationship-driven, not ownership-driven. Once the proper role relationship is in place, the Financial Account should surface automatically in the Household Financial Summary.

    If everything looks correct, try recalculating rollups or running a data sync.

    Hope this helps clarify the architecture behind it.

Has anyone made the migration from FSC Managed package to FSC core objects?  

 

We're a financial advisory firm and I'm prepping for a major integration bringing in our managed financial account data on a nightly basis. Our org is about 2.5 years old and we've built everything off the FSC managed package for households and financial accounts.   

 

Our org is considered the source of truth through the opportunity phase, and then our BD's reporting becomes the source of truth with all financial account info/holdings. I haven't deployed anything yet in Finserv__FinancialAccount__c object since we've been waiting for the integration to be built. 

 

Is it worth the time and effort now to transition to FSC core objects and unravel all FinServ__ objects and fields? My understanding is if I'm going to use FSC core financial accout objects, I should be using FSC core household model with PartyRelationGroup.  

 

I'm leaning towards dealing with this migration now vs collecting more debt against FinServ__ and having this migration ballon later in a few years.

Hi,

We are using Salesforce with Financial Services Cloud and working with a standard object (not a managed package object).

I recently added new values to the Interaction object field: InteractionType

. Now I’m trying to retrieve the metadata for this picklist, but I’m unable to locate it anywhere and haven’t found any useful documentation about where these values are stored. 

 

So far, I’ve checked the following metadata types:

  • StandardValueSets
  • GlobalValueSets
  • CustomObject (field, object, and record types)
  • Settings

At one point, I even retrieved all metadata from the org and searched through it, but I still couldn’t find the picklist values.

Does anyone know where the picklist values for this field are stored or how they can be retrieved via metadata? 

 

For reference, this is how the InteractionType.field-meta.xml looks:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><CustomField xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">    <fullName>InteractionType</fullName>    <inlineHelpText>The type of interaction.</inlineHelpText>    <trackHistory>false</trackHistory>    <type>Picklist</type></CustomField>

    Hi Wojciech,

    Good news - you CAN retrieve custom picklist values you added to managed package fields via metadata! Here's what's likely happening:

    Understanding the Structure: The Interaction object (likely InteractionSummary in FSC) is a managed package object. When you add custom picklist values to a managed field, those values ARE retrievable - they're stored as part of your org's customizations.

    How to Retrieve Your Custom Picklist Values:

    Option 1: CustomField Metadata Type Use the full API name format:

    NamespacePrefix__ObjectName__c.InteractionType

    In your package.xml:

    <types>

    <members>InteractionSummary.InteractionType</members>

    <name>CustomField</name>

    </types>

    Option 2: Check if it uses a GlobalValueSet The picklist might reference a GlobalValueSet. Try retrieving:

    <types>

    <members>*</members>

    <name>GlobalValueSet</name>

    </types>

    Then search the results for anything related to InteractionType.

    Option 3: Tooling API to Inspect

    SELECT Id, DeveloperName, Metadata FROM CustomField WHERE DeveloperName = 'InteractionType'

    Why your field-meta.xml appears empty: If the field uses a GlobalValueSet or StandardValueSet, the values won't appear inline - you need to retrieve that separate metadata type.

    Troubleshooting tip: Run a full retrieve of GlobalValueSet and StandardValueSet metadata types and search for "Interaction" to find where the values live.

    Hope this helps narrow it down!

I'm trying to work out how to define the person responsible for the Account Relationship. Our initial pilot simply labelled the Account Owner, but not sure this is the best representation of a Relationship Owner.  

 

Any help would be appreciated!

    @lee codling - At my Credit Union we utilized all of the following: Relationship Owner, Private Banker, & Financial Advisor for Consumer Relationships and then for Business Relationships we use Relationship Owner, Business Banker, Commercial Loan Officer, Commercial Portfolio Manager but do so in the same manner that Khyati described in her response to you. One of the other main reasons we do this is for being able to create reporting & analytics in a manner that can be separated as needed depending on the focus area.

I installed Financial Could managed package in my Org. In one of the scenario when I'm updating Financial Account, I'm facing an issue mentioned below.  FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION, To complete this action, ask your Salesforce admin to give you access to the required fields:  AccountContactRelation.Contact    In debug log, I can see that FinServ.FinancialAccountTrigger is executed and exception thrown inside this class.    Am I missing any custom permission or License assignment to the User ??
