Principal components

The SEPA component of the Pack for Financial Payments contains the following principal components:

• ISO 20022 (UNIFI) message schemas for credit transfer and direct debit (.xsd files) and the type trees for credit transfer and direct debit formats.
• Additional validation maps used to validate the general usage rules as defined in the EPC rule books.
• Example converter maps for the following domestic credit transfer and direct debit messages:
  • United Kingdom - BACS, see Example for the UK.
  • Germany - DTAUS, see Example for Germany.
  • France - MINOS and CFONB, see Example for France.
  • Italy - SIA Rete Interbacarria (RNI), see Example for Italy.
• Type trees for the SWIFTNet FIN MT 1nn message, as well as the transformation maps used to convert between SEPA formats and the SWIFTNet FIN MT101 MT102, MT102+, MT103 and MT103+ messages.
• z/OS example with sample JCL for a SEPA pass through map. See Running the SEPA component on z/OS.
• Reference data templates (bic.xml, and currencycodedecimals.xml files).
• An example validation map that uses the European Payments Council (EPC) schemas for the relevant payments clearing and settlement messages that use native schema mapping. These maps can be used as a replacement for the main validation maps to improve performance, since these maps use the EPC schema subset of the ISO20022 schema.
