8.4.5.3 STP of MT754 - Advice of Payment/Acceptance/Negotiation

Using the bills upload utility, the system automatically books an import bill underpayment. The relevant product is derived based on the mapping maintained for the message type and product combination in the ‘Product Mapping Detailed’ screen to process the import bill created as a result of the incoming MT754 (Advice of Payment/Acceptance/ Negotiation).

The bills contract generated inherits the following details from the underlying LC:
  • The party details
  • The document/shipment details
  • All details in the ‘Main’ tab of the Bills Contract

Tenor Details for the Bill

The system picks the following tenor details for the bills contract, from the product maintenance:
  • Base Date – This is the system date.
  • Bill Tenor – This is the standard tenor.
  • Transit Days – This is the transit days.
  • Maturity Date – This is the Base date + Transit days + Base Tenor

Document Related Details for the Bill

The following details will be blank for the bills contract:
  • Original Documents Received
  • Duplicate Documents Received
  • Letter Dated
  • Document Details

Nostro Account for the Bill

The system uses the SWIFT tags 53, 57 and 58 to derive the Nostro account in the following manner:
  • If tag 53 is present, the system will pick the Nostro account maintained for reimbursing bank in the Settlement Instructions maintenance screen.
  • If tag 53 is not present, the system will pick the Nostro account you have maintained for the counterparty (either 57 or 58) in the ‘Settlement Instructions Maintenance’ screen.
  • If none of the tags (53, 57 or 58) is available, the system will pick the Nostro account by deriving the sender from the BIC in the header details.
The system checks for the following during STP:
  • Field 32A or B value cannot be more than outstanding liability amount of LC.
  • If Field 34 amount is less than Field 32 amount, then the system will reject the record.

The system creates an authorized or unauthorized contract based on the ‘Post Upload Status’ maintained through the ‘Upload Source Preferences’ screen.
