This specification provides the definition of the Banking Status Message (BANSTA) to be used in electronic data interchange (EDI) between partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.

A BANSTA message is sent by the receiver of a previously sent message to report on the status of processing of this original message. It indicates, at the application level, the acceptance or rejection of the message or the ability for the receiver of the message to execute or not the instructions received.

Throughout this document the term 'Originator' refers to the sender of the original message to which the BANSTA message is responding; likewise, the term 'Recipient' refers to the sender of the Status message sent in response to the message generated by the 'Originator'.

This message type may be applied for both national and international settlements. It is based on universal practice and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.

This message type may be used to respond to any previously sent message.

It is a multi-purpose response providing status information based on universal practice and is not dependent of the type of business or industry.

• A BANSTA message may cover the response given to any

previously sent message, such as a commercial or payment instruction, a request for information, etc. This message provides a means to report on errors and inconsistencies found in the original message at application level.

• It is not intended to report on syntax errors or to

provide a non-repudiation response.

• This message may provide status information about

execution on original multi-instruction messages such as the Multiple Payment Order message (PAYMUL) or Direct Debit message (DIRDEB).

• This message does not only apply to responses given to

payment instructions. This message could be used for any response to a previously sent message when such response is needed and/or requested.

This section should be read in conjunction with the Branching Diagram and the Segment Table which indicate mandatory, conditional and repeating requirements.

0010 UNH, Message header

A service segment starting and uniquely identifying the message.

The message type code for the UN Status message is BANSTA.

Note: BANSTA messages conforming to this document must contain the following data in segment UNH, composite S009:

0020 Segment Group 1: BGM-DTM

A group of segments for unique identification of the BANSTA message, the date and time, the type of BANSTA message (e.g. response to an original instruction, to a query, etc.) and its function.

0030 BGM, Beginning of message

A segment identifying the BANSTA message, its type and function.

0040 DTM, Date/time/period

A segment specifying the date and time of the status message.

0050 Segment Group 2: RFF-DTM

A group of segments identifying the original message to which the Status message is referring. It may also refer to the query to which this Status information applies. When several queries have been sent, the date/time information identifies the specific query concerned.

0060 RFF, Reference

A segment identifying a previously sent message and/or query.

0070 DTM, Date/time/period

A segment identifying the date/time of the previously sent message and/or query.

0080 Segment Group 3: NAD-CTA-COM

A group of segments identifying the parties involved in the exchange of the message, and their contacts.

0090 NAD, Name and address

A segment identifying the party and its function.

0100 CTA, Contact information

A segment identifying a person or department for the party specified in the NAD segment and to whom communication should be directed.

0110 COM, Communication contact

A segment providing communication numbers for the party identified in the NAD segment and, optionally, for the contact identified in the associated CTA segment.

0120 Segment Group 4: SEQ-SG5-SG6

A group of segments identifying the original message and/or part thereof. It indicates the acceptance or rejection of the original message and may provide a means to report on application errors, inconsistencies and queries.

0130 SEQ, Sequence details

A segment referring to the original message. and one or more specific line(s) or party(ies) of the original message.

0140 Segment Group 5: RFF-DTM

A group of segments identifying the original message or part thereof.

0150 RFF, Reference

A segment identifying the reference of the original message or part thereof (i.e. LIN, SEQ,...).

0160 DTM, Date/time/period

A segment identifying the date/time at which the reference was created.

0170 Segment Group 6: GIS-DTM-SG7

A group of segments indicating the response of the receiving application and if relevant, an error. It can also indicate the purpose of a query.

0180 GIS, General indicator

A segment indicating if the original message has been accepted or rejected with or without error.

0190 DTM, Date/time/period

A segment identifying the date/time of the status of the processing at a given moment.

0200 Segment Group 7: ERC-FTX-DOC

A group of segments identifying an error, providing a standard description of this error, and, if relevant, one to many documents related to this error.

0210 ERC, Application error information
