    • Check if the Network Directory key is maintained as same in the following screens/ tables:

      - Network Directory Key maintained at 'HKFPS Network Directory (PKDHKFDR)' for the derived transaction branch clearing code = Network Directory Key maintained at 'HKFPS Network Currency Details (PKDHKFNC)' for the corresponding network code- transfer currency.

    • If the above condition is not satisfied, a proper error message is given 'Transaction Branch clearing code, Network Directory Key combination does not match the Network Currency - Network Directory combination.
    On Us Transfer If the payee account belongs to the same Bank and Host and Dispatch is not applicable, then 'On Us Transfer' flag is checked by the system during processing. This flag indicates that payee account is internal to Bank and dispatch to Network is not applicable.
