1. Introduction

Status

Definition

This message can be used to cater for various communication functions between financial institutions and their customers. The most frequent function is to provide a statement of booked items confirming entries on a customer's account. The message type may contain several accounts (quoted in the B-level).

Principles

Several accounts, value dates, entry dates and currencies may be specified.

The Financial Status message is a multiple message and is structured in three levels.

• Level A contains general routing information for the Financial Statement message.
• Level B contains account related data such as the type of statement, the account number and account balances. If you want to use the message to report on several accounts then each account should be identified individually in level B. Each level B may contain the following data;

• account number being reported;
• amounts such as opening and closing balances;
• statement number and page number;
• etc.

• Level C contains single items as advised to the customer by a debit or credit advice. The amount detailed in Level C is normally provided by a credit or debit advice message. Each level C may contain the following data;

• Reference numbers which are unique to the sender and receiver for reconciliation purposes;
• value and entry dates;
• bank operation codes;
• booked item amounts;
• etc.

The identification of statement page numbers

Within the EANCOM Financial Statement message it is possible to communicate a statement containing over 9999 individual transactions (debits or credits). However, when a statement exceeds 9999 transactions a new page must be allocated to the statement to cater for the transactions numbered 10000 to 19999 (and so on for each block of 9999).

Within the FINSTA message statement numbering and statement page numbering is carried out in the RFF segment in Level B (group 4). Every statement identified in this segment must at a minimum also identify page 1.

Below you will find a chart which explains the relationship between statement numbers, statement page numbers, and transactions.

Note:
In the table detailed below each new day will result in a new FINSTA message. Therefore the Line Item Number (DE 1082) in the LIN segment will be reset to 1 for each new statement.
