FORMAT

Option H [N]3!a15d (Sign) (Currency) (Amount)

PRESENCE

Conditional (C3)

DEFINITION

This field specifies the amount to be settled at value date.

NETWORK VALIDATED RULES

Currency must be a valid ISO 4217 currency code (Error code(s): T52).

The integer part of Amount must contain at least one digit. A decimal comma is mandatory and is included in the maximum length. The number of digits following the comma must not exceed the maximum number allowed for the specified currency (Error code(s): C03, T40, T43).

Sign must not be used when Amount is equal to '0' (Error code(s): T14).

USAGE RULES

If Amount is positive (Sign is not present), the amount is to be paid by party A; if Amount is negative (Sign is present), the amount is to be received by party A.

If there is any change to other elements of the deposit without changing the balance, eg, an interest change, Amount is zero and Currency is the deal currency.

For a change of balance (22B=CHNG), it is the difference between the previous and the new balance.

It is recommended not to include the Interest Amount with the increase or the decrease of the Principal Amount (22B=CHNG) as it normally does not belong to the same cash flow.

For settlement (22B=SETT), if both the principal and the interest are paid to the same financial institution (sequences E and F are not present), field 32H contains the sum of the principal and the interest to be settled. If interests are paid to another financial institution (sequence E or F is present), field 32H contains only the principal to be repaid.
