Introduction
Introduction
Overview
Category 9 consists of five types of messages exchanged between financial institutions, either on behalf of themselves, other financial institutions, or customers. These are: 1. balance reporting messages, which provide both cash management and nostro reconciliation information (balance and transaction details). 2. an interest rate change(s) message, which provides a means of advising interest rate change(s) to the Receiver of the message. 3. netting messages (sent between financial institutions and netting systems), which enable financial institutions to receive balances and details about transactions which are included in the netting process. 4. status messages, which provide a mechanism for requesting and responding to businessrelated information about customers or institutions. 5. bilateral key exchange messages, which enable financial institutions to request, exchange and cancel authenticator keys with other financial institutions.
Changes
This book incorporates the changes to Category 9 Cash Management & Customer Status messages as noted in the Standards Release Guide (SRG) 2005 and the relevant updates to the SRG 2005: BEIs are expanded to include SMDP (Securities Market Data Providers).
IMPORTANT This volume contains information effective as of the May 2005 Standards Release. Therefore the Standards volumes as published on the User Handbook August 2004 edition remain effective until May 2005.
Mandatory Sequence A (Sequence Name) M M 25 32a Account Identification Value Date, Currency Code, Amount 35x C or D 3 4

MT nnn (Message Type Name) provides the message type number and name. Status indicates if the field is M Mandatory O Optional
The status M for fields in optional (sub)sequences means that the field must be present if the (sub)sequence is present and is otherwise not allowed. Tag is the field identification. Field Name is the detailed name of the field tag, for this message type.
Introduction
Content/Options provides permitted field length and characteristics. For information concerning field structure, notation and character restrictions, please see Standards General Information. No. identifies the number of the field in the Field Specifications for the message type.
Some messages are separated into sequences of fields, as shown above. An arrow indicates that a sequence of fields may be repeated.
MT Usage Rules
Usage rules are not validated on the network, ie, rules for which no error code is defined, but are nevertheless mandatory for the correct usage of the message. Rules specified in this section affect more than one field in the message, or more than one SWIFT message.
MT Guidelines
Guidelines are not validated on the network and are not mandatory for the correct usage of the message. They concern good practices. Guidelines specified in this section affect more than one field in the message, or more than one SWIFT message.
MT Field Specifications
The rules for the use of each field in the message are specified in this section. Each field is identified by its index number (as shown in the No. column of the MT Format Specifications), field tag and detailed field name, followed by a description of the field, which may contain some or all of the following: FORMAT specifies the field formats which are allowed for the field. PRESENCE indicates if the field is mandatory, optional or conditional in its sequence. DEFINITION specifies the definition of the field in the message type. CODES lists all codes available for use in the field. If there is more than one subfield for which codes are defined, each separate code list will be identified with a CODES heading. When a list of codes is validated by the network, the error code will be specified. NETWORK VALIDATED RULES specifies rules that are validated on the network, ie, rules for which an error code is defined. Generally, rules specified in this section affect only
the field in which they appear. In some cases, rules which are validated at the message level, ie, rules which affect more than one field, are repeated in this section. This is the case when the rule does not affect the presence of the field, but information within several fields, eg, a currency which must be the same for more than one field in the message. USAGE RULES specifies rules that are not validated on the network, ie, rules for which no error code is defined, but are nevertheless mandatory for the correct usage of the field. Rules specified in this section affect only the field in which they appear. EXAMPLES provides one or more examples of the field as it will be formatted/used.
MT Mapping
MT mapping provides an explanation of how to map the fields of the message into another SWIFT message, either of the same or a different message type.
MT Examples
Examples are provided to illustrate the correct use of a message. Examples always include the following information: Narrative provides a brief description of a transaction Information Flow illustrates the relationships between the parties involved in the message. An explanation of the flow diagram can be found in Standards General Information. SWIFT Format provides the message using the defined SWIFT format, and providing an explanation, where necessary, of the fields which have been used.

Note: A MUG, for the purposes of this book, is a group of users who have voluntarily agreed to support the specified message type and have registered with SWIFT to send or receive the specified message type. These messages are indicated in the preceding table in the column MUG. Registration is free of charge. It is done by sending an MT 999 to SWHQBEBBCOS to the attention of Customer Implementation. To register the following information must be provided: the destination of the requesting institution, ie, the 8 character BIC the message type or specific usage of the specified message type the contact name and telephone number within the institution whether the request is for test and training or live operation, or both the requested activation date for testing and training and/or live operation.
Activation occurs every Monday. A period of about three weeks is needed between the registration request and the actual activation period. A user can choose to withdraw from the group. This is done by sending SWIFT a similar request to withdraw. Upon request to Customer Implementation (see the SWIFT address above), information can be obtained regarding other members of the MUG.
ERI Content
Euro-Related Information (ERI) refers to the following data: original currency, original amount, transaction charges.
The original currency and amount in ERI is the equivalent of the information in the field containing the amount which is used for interbank settlement of the transaction. This field may contain additional information, eg, value date. ERI may be specified in one or several free text fields preceded by a code word. As of Standards Release 2001, the use of ERI was extended to non-European currencies, and beyond the transition period of 3 years.
10
Usage Guidelines
Usage rules must be complied with, although they are not validated by the network. Usage guidelines are recommendations on how to specify ERI. Usage Rules As with all other information occurring in fields 72 or 79, ERI is for information purposes only. In the case of a discrepancy between ERI and the settlement amount specified in the message, the information in the settlement amount prevails. Usage Guidelines 1. If no specific fields are available to specify the original currency and amount, ERI may be used in any message type containing a free text field 72 or 79, ie, the use of ERI is not restricted to specific message types. See the section entitled Messages Likely to Contain ERI. This section lists, for each message type, the field to specify the settlement amount and the field to specify the original amount. The list is provided to facilitate the implementation of different systems: it is not exhaustive. 2. The preferred field for specifying ERI is field 72. If not present, field 79 should be used. 3. If ERI is specified in one of these fields, it should appear on the first line whenever possible. Whatever line is used, the ERI should always appear on the first position of that line. 4. For message types that do not contain a field 72 or 79, there are only two that may need to specify a second currency: MTs 940 and 942. For these two cases, subfield 9 of field 61 should be used to specify ERI. If this subfield is used for other purposes, field 86 should be used to specify ERI. It is recommended that the Sender of the MT 940/942 advises the Receiver whenever field 86 is used to contain ERI. 5. Where the settlement amount is part of a repetitive sequence which does not contain a free text field, the message should be used as a single transaction message, ie, one message should be used per transaction. 6. Where transaction charges are specified in ERI, this information must appear after the code word /CHGS/. This will not necessarily be processed by the Receiver. 7. ERI is designed to be passed on unchanged in the appropriate message types throughout the entire transaction, ie, throughout the chain of messages relating to the transaction. Therefore, it should appear in the appropriate SWIFT messages related to the transaction. 8. The MTs 950, 970 and 972 remain unchanged and thus one message must be sent per currency.

ERI Structure
FORMAT Field 72 Field 79 DEFINITION 6*35x 35*50x
In addition to previously defined Sender to Receiver Information, or other narrative information, these fields may include euro-related information (ERI) for information purposes. ERI indicates currency conversion details, related to the conversion of the original currency into a settlement currency, found in free text fields. It is recommended that ERI be structured in these free text fields using codes. The following code words must be used: /OCMT/ 3!a15d/ O Original currency and amount. If no charges are specified then the original currency and amount will be the equivalent of the transaction amount specified in the message. O Currency and amount of the transaction charges. When the BEN option is used in payments and related messages, ie, all transaction charges are to be paid by the beneficiary customer, the charges amount has been deducted from the original amount to obtain the settlement amount specified in the message.
CODES
/CHGS/
3!a15d/
The network will validate the structure of ERI, but not the content. :72:/OCMT/USD504938,/ /CHGS/EUR2,40/
12
If there are business requirements to specify ERI in other message types, these should be similarly specified in a free text field 72 or 79 as explained in Section ERI Structure. Therefore, this list is not exhaustive.

where: the currency component 3!a must be a valid ISO currency code (Error code(s): T52) the amount component 15d following the currency code must be formatted according to the Field Formatting Rules given in Section 5.4.2 Numbers of the SWIFT User Handbook, Standards General Information. If not properly formatted the system will NAK the message with Error Code T40, T43, T33 or other generic error codes as deemed necessary the amount component 15d will not be checked on the maximum number of decimal digits allowed for the relevant currency code
In the following examples the currency code XYZ is invalid. The message is NAKed: :79:/OCMT/XYZ150,/(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR1,(CrLf) :79:xxxxx/OCMT/EUR10000,//CHGS/XYZ1,/(CrLf)
In the following examples the amount components are invalid. The message is NAKed: :86:/OCMT/EUR,12/(CrLf) :86:/OCMT/EUR123/(CrLf)
Note: The amount component must be followed by a slash character, / (Error code(s): T31). In the following example the amount component is invalid. The message is NAKed:
14
:86:/OCMT/EUR1,23(CrLf) Messages and fields impacted The ERI validation will be performed in fields: 72 Structured Format, 72 Narrative and/or 79, of all messages except the MTs 960, 964, 965, 966, 967, 992, 995, 996 and 999 61 (subfield 9) and 86, of the MTs 940 and 942
In the following example OCMT is validated. The message is not NAKed: :79:xxxxx/OCMT/EUR10,25/xxxxx(CrLf)
In the following example OCMT and CHGS are validated. The message is not NAKed: :79:xxxxx/OCMT/EUR10,25/(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR1,/(CrLf) No ERI validation hierarchy between the fields Note, if the same Field Specification is reused in the message, the ERI validation will be performed. This is usually the case where a field is defined in a loop, ie, a repetitive block of fields or sequence. For example, if fields 72and 79 are both present in a message, and the ERI validation is defined for that message, then the system will apply the ERI validation in the two types of fields. /CHGS/ is only validated if /OCMT/ is present The ERI validation for the code /CHGS/ (6 characters) will be performed only if it immediately follows /OCMT/3!a15d/ in the same occurrence of that field. Therefore, if /OCMT/ is present in field 72 and /CHGS/ is present in field 79 (but /OCMT/ is not present in 79), then the system does not validate the format following /CHGS/ in field 79. In the following example, CHGS is not validated because OCMT is missing. The message is not NAKed: :86:xxxxx/CHGS/EUR1,40/xxxxx(CrLf)
Sequence of codes is required Within a field, the sequence of the codes /OCMT/ and /CHGS/ is relevant. Only if /OCMT/ appears immediately before /CHGS/, will the ERI validation be applied to /CHGS/. In the following examples OCMT and CHGS are validated. The message is not NAKed: Example 1 (structured field 72): :72:/INS/BANKCCCY/OCMT/EUR12345,/(CrLf)
15
In the following example only OCMT is validated because CHGS does not immediately follow OCMT. The message is not NAKed: Example 3 (free format field 72): :72:xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR10000,/xxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR50,/(CR) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) Note: If /CHGS/ appears before /OCMT/, /CHGS/ will not be recognized as part of the ERI and will not be subject to the ERI validation. In the following examples only OCMT is validated. The message is not NAKed: Example 4 (structured field 72): :72:/CHGS/EUR12,/xxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR12345,/xxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) Example 5 (free format field 79): :79:xyz/CHGS/EUR4,00/xxx/OCMT/EUR1234,00/xxx(CrLf)
In the following example, OCMT and the second occurrence of CHGS are validated. The message is not NAKed: Example 6 (structured field 72): :72:/CHGS/EUR1,/xxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR12345,/(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR12,/xxxxx(CrLf) Double codes are not allowed in one field In one occurrence of a field where the ERI validation must be performed, the codes /OCMT/ and /CHGS/ must not be used more than once.
16
Note: Since the presence of /OCMT/ triggers the validation of /CHGS/, a double /CHGS/ will be NAKed only if /OCMT/ is present in the same field. If the ERI validation fails due to a duplicated code, it will result whichever field was validated in the existing Error Code T47. The line number of the first field in sequence in the message where the error occurred will be indicated together with the error code. In the following examples OCMT is found twice. The messages are NAKed: Example 1 (structured field 72): :72:/OCMT/EUR12345,/(CrLf) //xxxxxx(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR100,/xxxxx(CrLf) Example 2 (field 61): :61:9809010931C3500,25FCHK304955//4958843(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR1101,//OCMT/EUR1020,25/(CrLf) Example 3 (free format field 79): :79:xyz/OCMT/EUR1234,00//OCMT/EUR40,00/xxx(CrLf)
In the following example CHGS is found twice. The message is NAKed: Example 4 (free format field 72): :72:xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR10000,/(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR100,/xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR50,/(CR) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) Note: If /CHGS/ appears before /OCMT/, /CHGS/ will not be recognized as part of the ERI and thus not be subject to the ERI validation. In the following example OCMT and the second occurrence of CHGS are validated. The messages are not NAKed: Example 5 (structured field 72): :72:/CHGS/EUR12,/xxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR12345,/(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR50,/(CR) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) Example 6 (free format field 79):
17
:79:xyz/CHGS/EUR4,00//OCMT/EUR1234,00//CHGS/EUR4,00/(CrLf)
Consistent with current standards In all fields where the ERI validation is defined, the generic, ie, current validation must still be performed. For example, a. field 72 is always checked for maximum 6 lines, with a maximum of 35 characters per line. b. field 72, structured format, the first line must begin with a /, and the second through sixth line (optional), must begin with a / or a //. Maximum use of the generic format definition In order to maximize the use of all characters allowed in the generic format, the codes /OCMT/, /CHGS/, as well as the data (3!a15d/), may be split across lines. Example in narrative format of information that follows ERI related codes, split across lines: :72:xxxxx/OCMT/EUR12345,(CrLf) 12//CHGS/E(CrLf) UR12,/(CrLf) Example in structured format of ERI related codes, split across lines: :72:/INS/BANKCCCY/OCMT/EUR1234,//CH(CrLf) //GS/EUR1,/xxxxxxx(CrLf) Example in narrative format of ERI related codes, split across lines: :79:xxxxx/OC(CrLf) MT/EUR100,/(CrLf) No ERI validation performed in: fields 72 and 79, if the REJT or RETN codes are present, ie, the special REJT/RETN validation for fields 72 and 79 prevails.

MT 940
Original advices for charges, ie, the first time the account owner is informed of a charge, must be identified in subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, with the transaction type code FCHG. The following rules apply to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner: At least one valid character other than a blank must be present. For debit entries, the purpose of this subfield is to identify, to the account owner, the instruction which caused the debit. Therefore, the content of this subfield is the field 20 Sender's Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the original instruction. Credit entries may be the result of one of the following situations: 1. The account servicing institution is identifying, to the account owner the receipt of funds for its account as a result of a related transaction. In this case, the content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the reference for the beneficiary (eg, field 21 Related Reference) of the related transaction. 2. The account servicing institution has issued a payment instruction to the account owner and the credit identified in this subfield is for that payment. The content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the field 20 Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the payment instruction issued by the account servicing institution. If no reference is available for subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner, the code NONREF shall be used. The account servicing institution must then supply, in subfield 9, Supplementary Details, what it considers to be the best alternative information. This reference must be quoted in all cases when available. In cases where a transaction passes through several financial institutions, the original reference must always be forwarded. This reference must always be quoted against any charges or fees debited by the account servicing institution. Debits against standing instructions must show the reference of the standing instruction. In cases where a mutually agreed alternative reference exists (eg, in foreign exchange or money market transactions), this reference should then be used. If the statement entry concerns a cheque, the cheque number should be indicated in this subfield.
The following rules apply to subfield 8, Account Servicing Institution's Reference: The content of this subfield is the account servicing institution's own reference for the transaction.
59
When the transaction has been initiated by the account servicing institution, this reference may be identical to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner. If this is the case, Account Servicing Institutions Reference, subfield 8 may be omitted.
The following rules apply to subfield 9, Supplementary Details: When no reference for the account owner is available, ie, subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner contains NONREF, the account servicing institution should provide the best available alternative information in this subfield. Supplementary details may be provided when an advice has not been sent for a transaction, or to provide additional information to facilitate reconciliation. This field may contain ERI to transport dual currencies, as explained in the chapter 'Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards'. In order to comply with the EC-directive on cross border credit transfers, the optional code word EXCH may be used to transport an exchange rate. In line with ERI, the code word EXCH is placed between slashes, followed by the exchange rate, format 12d, and terminated with another slash.
EXAMPLE (1) :61:9805270526C3500,25FCHK304955//4958843 (2) :61:9805270526C3500,25FCHK304955//4958843 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 7. Field 86: Information to Account Owner FORMAT 6*65x PRESENCE Conditional (C1) DEFINITION This field contains additional information on the transaction detailed in the preceding statement line and which is to be passed on to the account owner. USAGE RULES This field may contain ERI to transport dual currencies, as explained in the chapter Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards. Since the charges field in the customer transfers is repetitive, it may be necessary to report more than one charges amount in the resulting statement. In this case, it is allowed to repeat the code word CHGS before the code word OCMT. The order in which the charges are specified is the same as in the customer transfers, ie, the order in which the charges have been taken during the (Narrative)
60
MT 940
transaction. So, the last appearance of the code word CHGS always specifies the charges (if any) of the account servicing institution. In order to comply with the EC-directive on cross border credit transfers, the optional code word EXCH may be used to transport an exchange rate. In line with ERI, the code word EXCH is placed between slashes, followed by the exchange rate, format 12d, and terminated with another slash. The code may be repeated if the account servicing institution wants to report an exchange rate that it applied, in addition to the exchange rate received in the instruction. The order in which the exchange rates are specified is the same as the order in which the rates have been applied during the transaction. So, the last appearance of the code word EXCH always specifies the rate applied by the account servicing institution. An ordering party is identified with the preceding code /ORDP/. The information following this code is copied from field 50a of the customer payment order, or field 52a (sender if field 52a is not present) of the financial institution transfer. The code should be used at the beginning of a line. In case of a debit item, a beneficiary party may be identified with the preceding code /BENM/. The information following this code is copied from field 59a of the customer payment order, or field 58a of the financial institution transfer. The code should be used at the beginning of a line. In case remittance information from field 70 of the payment instruction is to be included in this field, it should be preceded by the code /REMI/. In case the information in field 72 of the payment instruction is intended for the account owner, it should be copied into field 86 as it is. Codes used in field 72 of the payment instruction have therefore the same meaning in field 86 of the statement. If only free text is used in field 72, it is to be copied as it is since a code in field 86 will not add any value. 8. Field 62a: Closing Balance (Booked Funds) FORMAT Option F Option M 1!a6!n3!a15d 1!a6!n3!a15d (D/C Mark) (Date) (Currency) (Amount) (D/C Mark) (Date) (Currency) (Amount)

1.
For entries related to SWIFT transfer instructions and subsequent charge messages: Format: S3!n The last three characters will indicate the message type of the SWIFT message causing the entry (for debit entries) or the message type of the SWIFT message used to advise the account owner (for credit entries).

NETWORK VALIDATED RULES Subfield 1, Value Date, must be a valid date expressed as YYMMDD (Error code(s): T50). The SWIFT System validates subfield 2, Entry Date (Date in reduced ISO form), using current System Year (Error code(s): T50). The integer part of Amount must contain at least one digit. The decimal comma , is mandatory and is included in the maximum length (Error code(s): T40, T43). When the first character of subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, is an S, the remaining characters must be in the range 100-999 (Error code(s): T18). USAGE RULES This field may be repeated within the constraints of the maximum input message length. Original advices for charges, ie, the first time the account owner is informed of a charge, must be identified in subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, with the transaction type code FCHG. The following rules apply to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner: At least one valid character other than a blank must be present. For debit entries, the purpose of this subfield is to identify, to the account owner, the instruction which caused the debit. Therefore, the content of this subfield is the field 20 Sender's Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the original instruction. Credit entries may be the result of one of the following situations: 1. The account servicing institution is identifying, to the account owner the receipt of funds for its account as a result of a related transaction. In this case, the content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the reference for the beneficiary (eg, field 21 Related Reference) of the related transaction. 2. The account servicing institution has issued a payment instruction to the account owner and the credit identified in this subfield is for that payment. The content of subfield 7,
85
Reference for the Account Owner is the field 20 Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the payment instruction issued by the account servicing institution. If no reference is available for subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner, the code NONREF shall be used. The account servicing institution must then supply, in subfield 9, Supplementary Details, what it considers to be the best alternative information. This reference must be quoted in all cases when available. In cases where a transaction passes through several financial institutions, the original reference must always be forwarded. This reference must always be quoted against any charges or fees debited by the account servicing institution. Debits against standing instructions must show the reference of the standing instruction. In cases where a mutually agreed alternative reference exists (eg, in foreign exchange or money market transactions), this reference should then be used. If the statement entry concerns a cheque, the cheque number should be indicated in this subfield.
The following rules apply to subfield 8, Account Servicing Institution's Reference: The content of this subfield is the account servicing institution's own reference for the transaction. When the transaction has been initiated by the account servicing institution, this reference may be identical to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner. If this is the case, Account Servicing Institutions Reference, subfield 8 may be omitted.
The following rules apply to subfield 9, Supplementary Details: When no reference for the account owner is available, ie, subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner contains NONREF, the account servicing institution should provide the best available alternative information in this subfield. Supplementary details may be provided when an advice has not been sent for a transaction, or to provide additional information to facilitate reconciliation. This field may include ERI, as specified in the chapter entitled Euro Impact on SWIFT Message Standards. This field may contain ERI to transport dual currencies, as explained in the chapter 'Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards'. In order to comply with the EC-directive on cross border credit transfers, the optional code word EXCH may be used to transport an exchange rate. In line with ERI, the code word EXCH is placed between slashes, followed by the exchange rate, format 12d, and terminated with another slash.

Field 86: Information to Account Owner FORMAT 6*65x PRESENCE Optional DEFINITION This field contains additional information on the transaction detailed in the preceding statement line which is to be passed on to the account owner. USAGE RULES This field may contain ERI to transport dual currencies, as explained in the chapter Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards. Since the charges field in the customer transfers is repetitive, it may be necessary to report more than one charges amount in the resulting statement. In this case, it is allowed to repeat the code word CHGS before the code word OCMT. The order in which the charges are specified is the same as in the customer transfers, ie, the order in which the charges have been taken during the transaction. So, the last appearance of the code word CHGS always specifies the charges (if any) of the account servicing institution. In order to comply with the EC-directive on cross border credit transfers, the optional code word EXCH may be used to transport an exchange rate. In line with ERI, the code word EXCH is placed between slashes, followed by the exchange rate, format 12d, and terminated with another slash. The code may be repeated if the account servicing institution wants to report an exchange rate that it applied, in addition to the exchange rate received in the instruction. The order in which the exchange rates are specified is the same as the order in which the rates have been applied during the transaction. So, the last appearance of the code word EXCH always specifies the rate applied by the account servicing institution. An ordering party is identified with the preceding code /ORDP/. The information following this code is copied from field 50a of the customer payment order, or field 52a (sender if field 52a is not present) of the financial institution transfer. The code should be used at the beginning of a line. (Narrative)
87
In case of a debit item, a beneficiary party may be identified with the preceding code /BENM/. The information following this code is copied from field 59a of the customer payment order, or field 58a of the financial institution transfer. The code should be used at the beginning of a line. In case remittance information from field 70 of the payment instruction is to be included in this field, it should be preceded by the code /REMI/. In case the information in field 72 of the payment instruction is intended for the account owner, it should be copied into field 86 as it is. Codes used in field 72 of the payment instruction have therefore the same meaning in field 86 of the statement. If only free text is used in field 72, it is to be copied as it is since a code in field 86 will not add any value. 10. Field 90D: Number and Sum of Entries FORMAT Option D PRESENCE Optional DEFINITION This field indicates the total number and amount of debit entries. NETWORK VALIDATED RULES Currency must be a valid ISO 4217 currency code (Error code(s): T52). The integer part of Amount must contain at least one digit.

By reference to a previous MT n90 Advice of Charges, Interest and Other Adjustments message (for information regarding the formatting of the MTn90, see Category n Common Group Messages). By original advice via this statement, under the following conditions: The charges must be unambiguously identified with a single associated underlying transaction, eg, the account owner's reference of the original transaction. The principal amount must be separately identified on the statement. The required references must fit the constraints of the statement line.
It is important that amounts should be identical to those of related messages. Charges which are clearly indicated in another message concerning the same entry, or which form an integral part of another message, eg, proceeds of a collection, do not need to be specifically indicated in the statement. Deductions, eg, charges, above and beyond those previously accounted for in a related message shall appear separately with the appropriate code. They shall use the same reference for the account owner or other suitable reference if no reference for the account owner is available. The account servicing institution must not bulk separate transactions, charges, or charges with transactions. When booking multiple messages, individual transactions, eg, one entry per TRN (field 20), must be booked. It is recommended that statements be sent daily, ie, at the end of each business day, when movement in the account has occurred. If no movement has occurred, ie, no entries have been posted, it is recommended that the statement frequency should be monthly, and that the maximum interval between statements should not exceed one year. To facilitate manual reconciliation, it is recommended that statement entries be sorted by debits and credits and these by value date in ascending amounts. Since the length of a SWIFT message is restricted to the maximum input message length, several messages may be required to accommodate all the information for one statement.

CODES Subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, may be completed in one of three ways (Error code(s): T53):
1. For entries related to SWIFT transfer instructions and subsequent charge messages: Format: S3!n The last three characters will indicate the message type of the SWIFT message causing the entry (for debit entries) or the message type of the SWIFT message used to advise the account owner (for credit entries). 2. For entries related to payment and transfer instructions, including related charges messages, not sent through SWIFT or where an alpha description is preferred. Format: 3. N3!c For entries being first advised by the statement (items originated by the account servicing institution): Format: F3!c
CODES When formats (2) or (3) are used, the last three characters, ie, 3!c, may contain one of the following codes:
BOE BRF CHG CHK CLR CMI CMN CMS CMT CMZ COL COM DCR DDT DIV ECK EQA Bill of exchange Brokerage fee Charges and other expenses Cheques Cash letters/Cheques remittance Cash management item - No detail Cash management item - Notional pooling Cash management item - Sweeping Cash management item -Topping Cash management item - Zero balancing Collections (used when entering a principal amount) Commission Documentary credit (used when entering a principal amount) Direct Debit Item DividendsWarrants Eurocheques Equivalent amount

Foreign exchange Interest Lock box Loan deposit Miscellaneous Returned item Securities (used when entering a principal amount) Standing order Travellers cheques Transfer Value date adjustment (used with an entry made to withdraw an incorrectly dated entry it will be followed by the correct entry with the relevant code)
NETWORK VALIDATED RULES Subfield 1, Value Date, must be a valid date expressed as YYMMDD (Error code(s): T50). The SWIFT System validates subfield 2, Entry Date (Date in reduced ISO form), using current System Year (Error code(s): T50). The integer part of Amount must contain at least one digit. The decimal comma , is mandatory and is included in the maximum length (Error code(s): T40, T43). When the first character of subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, is an S, the remaining characters must be in the range 100-999 (Error code(s): T18). USAGE RULES This field may be repeated within the constraints of the maximum input message length. Original advices for charges, ie, the first time the account owner is informed of a charge, must be identified in subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, with the transaction type code FCHG. The following rules apply to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner: At least one valid character other than a blank must be present. For debit entries, the purpose of this subfield is to identify, to the account owner, the instruction which caused the debit. Therefore, the content of this subfield is the field 20 Sender's Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the original instruction. Credit entries may be the result of one of the following situations: 1. The account servicing institution is identifying, to the account owner the receipt of funds for its account as a result of a related transaction. In this case, the content of subfield 7,
98
MT 950
Reference for the Account Owner is the reference for the beneficiary (eg, field 21 Related Reference) of the related transaction. 2. The account servicing institution has issued a payment instruction to the account owner and the credit identified in this subfield is for that payment. The content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the field 20 Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the payment instruction issued by the account servicing institution. If no reference is available for subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner, the code NONREF shall be used. The account servicing institution must then supply, in subfield 9, Supplementary Details, what it considers to be the best alternative information. This reference must be quoted in all cases when available. In cases where a transaction passes through several financial institutions, the original reference must always be forwarded. This reference must always be quoted against any charges or fees debited by the account servicing institution. Debits against standing instructions must show the reference of the standing instruction. In cases where a mutually agreed alternative reference exists (eg, in foreign exchange or money market transactions), this reference should then be used. If the statement entry concerns a cheque, the cheque number should be indicated in this subfield.
The following rules apply to subfield 8, Account Servicing Institution's Reference: The content of this subfield is the account servicing institution's own reference for the transaction. When the transaction has been initiated by the account servicing institution, this reference may be identical to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner. If this is the case, Account Servicing Institutions Reference, subfield 8 may be omitted.
The following rules apply to subfield 9, Supplementary Details: When no reference for the account owner is available, ie, subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner contains NONREF, the account servicing institution should provide the best available alternative information in this subfield. Supplementary details may be provided when an advice has not been sent for a transaction, or to provide additional information to facilitate reconciliation.
