Common Messages

Transactions for common messages are available for all business sectors and cover:

• Free format messages
• Request for cancelation of a SWIFT message
• Queries and answers
• Acknowledgments
• Ancillary Trade Structured Message

When selecting the message type 'Free Correspondence' the message type '499/799' is defaulted. If the default value '499/799' is used, the message type to be sent depends on the business sector. The “Document Title” and a “Narrative” are specified in the respective fields and are displayed in the message under “Narrative”.
Otherwise the message types MT 199, 299 and 499/799 can be selected.

If the message type 'Request for Cancelation' is selected, the message type sent is specified in the option “Related MT”, and the “Date of Message” is defined in the field of the same name. This means that an MT 792 is generated if a message type of SWIFT category MT 7xx was selected as the “relevant MT”, an MT 492 for messages of category MT 4xx and an MT 192 is generated if the message refers to an MT 103. With CBPR+ being active, if the underlying payment message refers to Pacs.008 or Pacs.009 and if the receiver of the cancellation request message is a bank authenticated by SWIFT, a Camt.056 message is generated for the cancellation request.

If the types 'Query' or 'Answer' are used for a received or sent message, the same principle as for 'Request for Cancelation' is used. With CBPR+ also, it's the same principle, however a Camt.029 message is generated as 'Answer' to a Camt.056.

If an 'Acknowledgment' is to be sent, only the message date has to be entered in field “Date of Message”. Clicking on the “Messages” panel displays the “Additional Info” panel for the message. The appropriate text for the acknowledgment is specified in field “Sender to Receiver Information”.

The 'Ancillary Trade Structured Message' can be generated in the import and export LC modules, the guarantees module, reimbursement and participation module. It is a structured message that is intended to be used instead of the unstructured MT799 message. Details of the message can be entered on the “Free Format Message Details” panel.

In the transaction panel, the user has to enter the message type to be created, the recipients of the message and, where necessary, the recipients of copies.

In each common message transaction text modules of the same name are used for the “Narrative” field. In transaction LITFRE, for example, text module LITFRE is used.

It is possible to send common messages outside of the workflow. For this purpose, the checkbox “Process immediately” has to be checked on the “Common Message” panel. In this case, this transaction will not be added to the list of transaction dependencies under the current contract (TRO), but processed independently of the previous transactions. If a previous transaction is deleted or set for correction, this transaction can nevertheless be processed further.

The checkbox can only be checked if no contract field has been modified (as soon as a modification has been carried out on the “Completion” panel, the checkbox is disabled).

If the checkbox is checked, all contract fields on the “Completion” panel are disabled.

Details on creation of messages can be found under DOCEOT Messages.
