Since Outbound Common Group Messages are manually initiated by Operational users from the relevant screens for claims, advises or investigations; the system does not support automatic replacement of dis-allowed characters input by user.

• On saving a transaction in any Common Group Message screen, the system performs Network characters validation for the presence of dis-allowed characters as per the SWIFT “X” character set.
• Error message is displayed on failure of this validation, and the transaction is not saved unless the user corrects the error(s).
