T24 - SWIFT/MT940 generation

Hi,

Some years ago before I joined the company, a consultant had tried to setup MT940 Swift generation messages and link it to Swift however this was not fully developed and implemented due to various factors.

We need to have our T24 R10 generate Mt940 messages. How can I check if they are already being generated and where? Any guidance would be very much appreciated thanks.

Thanks I have listed F.DE.O.HEADER WITH MESSAGE.TYPE = MT940 and nothing is listed even though there are more than 17000 records in this table.

I assume this means that MT940 records are not being generated? (I checked ACCOUNT.STATEMENT for a couple of customers and found the SWIFT.STMT.TYPE empty.

To cause them to be generated would it be a simple case of populating this field in ACCOUNT.STATEMENT ?

jsh t24user ~ -->LIST F.DE.O.HEADER WITH MESSAGE.TYPE = "940"
LIST F.DE.O.HEADER WITH MESSAGE.TYPE = "940" PAGE 1 15:30:24 11 FEB 2016

No Records Listed

jsh t24user ~ -->LIST FBNK.ACCOUNT.STATEMENT WITH SWIFT.STMT.TYPE = "940"
LIST FBNK.ACCOUNT.STATEMENT WITH SWIFT.STMT.TYPE = "940" PAGE 1 15:31:12 11 FEB 2016

No Records Listed

Hi,

To generate MT940, you will have to

1- Create SWIFT address of customer in DE.ADDRESS. (In case of new BIC CODE, create using DE.BIC first and then create DE.ADDRESS)
2- Create DE.PRODUCT with carrier as SWIFT
3- Configure MT940 in ACCOUNT.STATEMENT
4- Execute BNK/PRINT.STATEMENT to generate statement.
5- You will find generated message in ACCOUNT.STATEMENT>DELIVERY.REF

Thanks

In another post in this forum
(www.t24all.com/index.php/forum/t24-insta...to-folder.html#17782)

It is stated that to have MT940 I would have to amend:

DE.INTERFACE
DE.CARRIER
DE.PARM
DE.ADDRESS
DE.PRODUCT

In a Temenos document "SETUP DOCUMENT TO GENERATE MT940 MESSAGE " it states to amend:

ACCOUNT.STATEMENT
DE.PRODUCT
DE.ADDRESS
DE.PARM

Here I have been advised to amend ;
DE.ADDRESS
DE.PRODUCT
ACCOUNT.STATEMENT

so I am a bit confused as to which to use even though there are similarities. What I need is for the SWIFT MT 940 text files to be generated on demand. (Not necessarily printed, generated is enough if I know in which folder to find them)

Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to reply

Hi

I did write the procedure in the link you supplied. However, that was for a special case whereby you need to generate MT 940s to a specific folder for a *specific* account.

For normal MT 940s please follow the Temenos document. The assumptions are that Delivery is already set up and working and all you want to do is to enable an account to generate MT 940 statement.

In this case, just amend the ACCOUNT.STATEMENT and specify message type as 940

Create a SWIFT address for the customer in DE.ADDRESS

Depending on your current setup, you may need to add a DE.PRODUCT record for the account. Why? Because in some banks there is a global record for MT 940 generation in the DE.PRODUCT table.
