Fields

The fields that are available on the page are shown in the following list. Required fields are indicated with an asterisk.

Message Standard Name *

A unique name for this message standard.

Standard Type Id *

The unique, numeric identifier of the message standard

Description *

Unique label for the message standard

Reference Number Pattern

Specify the format of the trace numbers that are used for this message standard. The reference number pattern substitution variables are:

%CBID%: Clearing bank identifier. It is the routing number of the bank that was specified in the clearing attributes for the batch (ICL). To use only part of the clearing bank ID in the pattern, a range of digits can be specified. For example, to use only the second and third digits of the ID, specify the pattern as %CBID2-3%.
%PAYID%: Payment identifier. It is the 1 - 19-digit identifier that is used in the payment table. Use a range specification to indicate how many digits of the ID are part of the pattern. When the length of the ID is shorter than the number of digits that are specified in the pattern, leading zeros are added to the ID to make it fit the pattern. For example, to use the rightmost 7 digits of the ID, specify the pattern as %PAYID1-7R%.

For example, %CBID1-8%%PAYID1-7R% is defined as the pattern for the trace number. Using this pattern, the trace number consists of the leftmost 8 characters of the clearing bank ID followed by the rightmost 7 digits of the payment ID. If the payment ID is only 5 characters long, two leading zeros are added to it.

Settlement Cutoff Days

Select the settlement cutoff days configuration record that Business Rules Server uses to determine the processing or distribution business date to assign to a transaction. This configuration record:

Optionally defines the settlement window relative to the requested settlement date. It begins on the preferred distribution date and ends on the last date that distribution can occur without affecting the settlement date.
Allows the user to define an error code to assign to transactions with settlement dates that were moved because the transaction was received too late to be processed within the current settlement window. Error codes for credit and debit transactions are configured separately.

Note: Changing settlement cutoff days requires that you activate the Business Rules release before the change is available for validation.

Encoding Type

Select the character encoding type to use for the message standard. Examples of the encoding type are US-ASCII and UTF-8.

Cancellation Transmission Type

Identifies the transmission type to use when cancellations of inbound batches (ICLs) are created.

Non Settled Cancellation Transmission Type

Identifies the transmission type to use when non-settled cancellations of inbound batches (ICLs) are created. Non-settled indicates that the cancellation is due to an inability to settle with the originating financial institution.

Outbound Return Transmission Type

Identifies the transmission type to use when returns of outbound batches (ICLs) are created.

Inbound Return Transmission Type

Identifies the transmission type to use when returns of inbound batches (ICLs) are created automatically.

Inbound Manual Return Transmission Type

Identifies the transmission type to use when returns of inbound batches (ICLs) are created manually.

NOC transmission type

Identifier of transmission type to use when notifications of change (NOCs) are created.

FSM Application Name

The name of the FSM application to use to insert work into the FTM base tables of the FTM database. Select a name from the list or select default to use the value from the FTM Default Application Name system property.

Cancellation

This area contains the fields that are needed to support cancellation:

Enable Cancellation: Enable cancellation by selecting the checkbox.
Cancellation Window: Defines the period during which an outbound transaction can be canceled or reversed. Specify the cancellation window as the number of days relative to the settlement date of the transaction. This field is required if cancellation is enabled.
Cancellation Type: Select the type of message, either cancel or reverse, to be sent to the receiving partner when an operator cancels any transactions that were previously sent for this message standard. This field is required if cancellation is enabled.

Viewing Raw Data

This area contains the fields that are needed to assign a formatter to this message standard and enable it:

Enable Formatting: Indicate whether a formatter is used to view data in Control Center. Enable the formatting for this message standard by selecting the checkbox. By default, formatting is disabled.
Formatter Type: Select the type of formatter, either a basic or custom type, to be used for this message standard. Basic formatters, such as NACHA or XML, are provided with FTM. Custom formatters allow a user to create a formatter that formats the data based on unique requirements. This field is required if formatting is enabled.
Basic Formatter: Select the type of formatter from the list of basic formatters. This field is required if a basic formatter is selected for the formatter type.
Custom Formatter Class Name: Specify the full class name of the custom formatter to use for this message standard. This field is required if a custom formatter is selected for the formatter type.
Note: In addition to supplying the class name of the formatter, ensure that the custom formatter was packaged and deployed to the shared library directory of the Control Center.
