Identify Mappings

A core principle of FTM is that the implementation of the business process operates with the Internal Standard format (ISF) (see ISF Version 3) rather than the external formats. Having identified the message and interface types, it is easy to identify the mappings that are needed for an FTM implementation. A mapping is needed for each interface in the following table; inbound where FTM is the target system, and outbound where FTM is the source system.

Table 1. Inbound mapping (mapping an external format to ISF)
Name Format
MT To ISF MT103
Table 2. Outbound mapping (mapping from ISF to an external format)
Name Format
ISF To MT MT103
