SWIFT Message Creation Process

The message creation process is as follows:

Task

Process

1

The Creator logs in to the Sterling B2B Integrator and the user permissions assigned to the Creator are loaded.

2

Using the SWIFT Message Entry Workstation, the Creator creates a new SWIFT message or searches for a SWIFT message which is in Draft state for further editing.

Note: When you create a new message, your Sender ID value is populated by default with the value specified on the Configuration page.

Note: The Sterling B2B Integrator automatically includes the newest versions of SWIFT Message Types, but older versions of the MT files are available in jar files. See Installing Available Message Types for information on how to install older MT versions if you need to create messages using those versions.

3

After the Creator creates the message, he or she can validate the message to check for SWIFT compliance and mark the message as MARK AS READY TO SEND.

4

The Verifier reviews the message and can also perform the following tasks:

• Reject the message and mark the message for further edit, including the reasons for rejection (if desired).
• Send the message, which invokes the business process (SWIFTMessageEntryOutbound is the default). Once the business process is invoked, the scope of Message Entry Workstation ends.

Note: If you want to disable validation prior to sending the message, select Turn Off Validation.

5

If the message is rejected by the Verifier, the Creator can edit the changes using the SWIFT Editor and then mark the message as Ready for Resend, and the Verifier can again mark it as Reject or Send.

6

The Tracker can track the history of the message and review the modifications that were made to the message, including the user who made each change (along with any remarks noted about why a change was made). Also the tracker can view the raw data for the message, regardless of the message status.
