Relationship list

The relationship list displays information about and lets you manage the authorisations and conversations of your business relationships. A business relationship is established as soon as either an authorisation or a conversation is created for a particular combination of own BIC, correspondent BIC, and service.

Table 1 describes the information displayed for each relationship:
Table 1. Relationship information
Column Description
Own BIC The BIC of your financial institution. This is the local counterpart of the authorisation1.
Cor BIC The BIC of the correspondent. This is the remote counterpart of the authorisation1.
Service The name of the SWIFT service to which the authorisation refers.
Q&A If there is a conversation associated with the relationship, this column contains one of the following symbols:
"action required" symbol
There is a conversation associated with the relationship, and action is required for one of the following reasons:
  • At least one query that the correspondent sent to you has not yet been answered.
  • At least one query that you sent to the correspondent was answered, but the answer was not yet read.
  • At least one query or answer that you sent to the correspondent encountered an error and must be resent.
"no action required" symbol
There is a conversation associated with the relationship, and no action is required.
If there is no conversation associated with the relationship, this column is empty.

If reference data is available, and if a BIC in the Own BIC or Cor BIC column is not among those listed in the reference data, that is a strong indication that the BIC might be stale. Such a BIC is flagged with the "Possible stale BIC" symbol symbol.
Table 2 describes the information displayed for each authorisation:
Table 2. Authorisation information
Column Description
Type The type of the authorisation:
toSnd
An authorisation to send, that is, an authorisation that authorizes your own BIC to send messages to the correspondent BIC.
toRcv
An authorisation to receive, that is, an authorisation that authorizes your own BIC to receive messages from the correspondent BIC.
If an authorisation is locked by a user, it is flagged with the following symbol: "lock" symbol
Auth status The status of the authorisation. Which statuses an authorisation can have depends on its type:
toSnd
An authorisation to send can have one of the following statuses:
PendAcc
You received an authorisation to send (or an update for an authorisation to send) but have not yet accepted or rejected it.
Enabled
You accepted the authorisation to send and it is now active.
Rejected
The authorisation to send is inactive because you rejected it.
Revoked
The authorisation to send is inactive because the correspondent revoked it.
Deleted
The authorisation to send is inactive because you deleted it.
PendDel
The delete operation is pending.
toRcv
An authorisation to receive can have one of the following statuses:
Enabled
The authorisation to receive is active.
Rejected
The authorisation to receive is inactive because the correspondent rejected it.
Revoked
The authorisation to receive is inactive because you revoked it.
PendDel
The delete operation is pending.
Validity start The date from which the authorisation is valid.
Validity end The date up to which the authorisation is valid.
Permissions The symbol in this column indicates whether permissions are set for the authorisation:
"permissions set for active" symbol
Permissions are set for this authorisation.
"permissions changed for pending" symbol
Permissions are set for this authorisation. Changes are pending for this authorisation, and changes to its permissions are among the pending changes.
Proc status The processing status of the authorisation. Depending on the type of authorisation, this can be one of:
Network status
For the current version of an authorisation that is not a bootstrap authorisation, the Relationship Management Application sometimes must send an RMA message to the correspondent:
  • For an authorisation to receive, this is the corresponding RMA authorisation.
  • For an authorisation to send, this can be an RMA rejection or RMA revocation.
For the current version of an authorisation, the processing status is the network status:
InProgress
The processing of the RMA message is in progress, that is, the RMA message was sent to the correspondent, but the Relationship Management Application has not yet received confirmation that the message transfer is complete:
  • If a delivery notification was not requested, the Relationship Management Application has not yet received the response message that indicates that SWIFT received the RMA message.
  • If a delivery notification was requested, the Relationship Management Application has not yet received the delivery notification that indicates that the correspondent received the RMA message.
Finished
The processing of the RMA message is finished, that is, the Relationship Management Application received confirmation that the RMA message was sent to the correspondent. This symbol is also displayed for an authorisation to send that was received from a correspondent and for which no RMA message has yet been sent to the correspondent.
Error
An error occurred during an attempt to send the RMA message to the correspondent.
Bootstrap indicator
Bootstrap
The authorisation is a bootstrap authorisation. For the current version of a bootstrap authorisation, there is never an associated RMA message.
Imported authorisation indicator
The following symbols apply to imported authorisations:
Imported
The current version of the authorisation was imported into RMA from a distributed Relationship Management Application.
"no master BICs" symbol
For an authorisation for the swift.fin!p service, one or both master BICs have not yet been specified.
Change status
For the pending version of an authorisation, the processing status is the change status:
Draft
The authorisation was saved as a draft, but not yet submitted.
PendApp1
The pending version requires approval by a relationship approver.
PendApp2
The pending version was approved, but requires additional approval by a second relationship approver.
Refused
The pending version was refused by a relationship approver.
