For the below outgoing messages the system will be enhanced to support field 121 in Header
Block 3. When the original/related message contained a Unique End-to-end Transaction
Reference (UETR), this UETR will be copied unchanged into field 121 of the following outgoing
messages:
o MT 190 – Advice of Charges, Interest and Other Adjustments
o MT 191 – Request for Payment of Charges, Interest and Other Expenses
o MT 192 – Request for Cancellation
o MT 195 – Queries
o MT 196 – Answers
o MT 199 – Free Format Message
The system will be enhanced to support the incoming MT 191 message. This enhancement
will be restricted to Temenos payments solution only, the Funds Transfer module will not be
enhanced.
Note: From inward processing point of view, no changes are required in the system to process
the following inward messages (MT 192, MT 195, MT 196 and MT 199) as the system can
already receive field 121 for all the category 1 messages that are supported (existing
functionality from MT Standards Release 2018)
REC Receiver Instructions following are for the Receiver of the message.
Remarks
The code word REC is removed in field 72 to increase STP.

Make field 121 (unique end-to-end transaction reference (UETR)) optional in header block 3 of
enquiry and cancellation messages in categories 1, 2, and 9.
For the following inward messages no changes are required as the field 121(UETR) is already
supported from SWIFT 2018 changes, there is the requirement that SWIFT 2018 changes need
to be installed.
MT 192 – Request for Cancellation
MT 195 – Queries
MT 196 – Answers
MT 199 – Free Format Message
No changes are required for the following messages, as they are currently not supported.

REC Receiver Instructions following are for the Receiver of the message.
Changes will be made to the SWIFT.CODE.WORDS application. The code word REC will be
removed from this application. If the use of this code word is bilaterally agreed by the bank then
it can be setup in SWIFT.CODE.WORDS locally.
For the following inward messages, no changes are required as field 121 is already supported
from SWIFT 2018 changes, there is the requirement that SWIFT 2018 changes need to be

SWIFT – Standards MT November 2019
Tighten settlement party fields and trade party fields: In order to promote more structured usage
of the messages, in fields 82, 87, 83, 53, 56, 57, 58 when occurring in sequence A, B1, and B2
the following changes are included:
Remove option D, which is free format text
Partially restructure option J codes, to provide more clarity
16
SWIFT – Standards MT November 2019
Mandate that a BIC cannot be the only information in option J. For those cases,
option A must be used.
For more details on these changes please consult the SWIFT Book “us3ma Category 3 -
Treasury Markets – Foreign Exchange Money Market and Derivatives”
Required Software Changes
Currently, the system supports the usage of Option A and D in Tags 82, 87, 53, 56, 57 and 58.
Option J is not supported. Changes will be made to support Option J in MT 300.
Kindly note that wherever the supports usage of option D (Field 56a and 57a in
subsequence B1 and Field 53a, 56a and 57a in subsequence B2) shall now support
option J instead.
Changes will be made to the system to remove the usage of option D in MT 300.
17
SWIFT – Standards MT November 2019
Remarks:
An optional sequence in MT 300 has been added to address a requirement for some regions
whereby trade life cycle events are offered on a FX Forward contract. These are known as
"Post Trade Event" (PTE). That includes early delivery or take up; termination, close out or
Net Present Value (NPV) or extension or rollover of the FX Forward contract.
The system does not support Post-Trade events on Customer Forward contracts that are
prevalent in the Asian markets.
Note: This functionality and the subsequent support for SWIFT confirmation messages may
be developed in the future.

Federal Financial Market Service
The system does not support optional subsequence B1. As a result, the proposed change is
not applicable.

RDUQ Additional Round Quantity of additional shares requested due to the difference of
Up Quantity "round-up against payment" practice between the account servicer
and the account holder (for instance for French dividend option).
USAGE RULES
QINS could refer to one account in case of one account per instruction. It would refer
to the aggregated quantity of the different accounts if the instruction message refers to
more than one account, that is multiple B2 subsequence.

To enable CSD participants to indicate the additional quantity of new shares which must be
added to the number of shares calculated by the CSD based on the exercised rights provided
by its participants on the Securities option with Buy Up disposition of fraction. This applies as
well for exercise of warrants and conversion of bonds.
This code will be added to SC.CA.REASON.CODE in release 201908. For any releases prior
to this, it can be added manually locally to SC.CA.REASON.CODE.
IRDQ Invalid Use Round Instruction is rejected due to invalid use of additional round up
Up Quantity quantity (RDUQ)
Remarks:
Code IRDQ is added to qualifier REJT in field 24B in subsequence A2a in MT 567.
