USAGE RULES

Field 72 must never be used for information for which another field is intended.

Each item of information contained in this field must be preceded by a code which specifically indicates the party for which it is intended.

Codes must be placed between slashes and at the beginning of a line. Additional explanatory information, which may be continued on the next lines, is preceded by a double slash '//'.

Narrative text that is not qualified by a code, must start with a double slash '//' on a new line, and, should preferably be the last information in this field.

It is strongly recommended to use the standard codes. However, where bilateral agreements covering the use of codes in this field are in effect, the code must conform to the structure of this field.

Use of field 72, particularly with uncoded instructions, may cause delay, because in automated systems, the presence of this field will normally require manual intervention.

This field may contain ERI to transport dual currencies, as specified in the chapter entitled "Euro-Related Information (ERI)" in the Standards MT General Information.

In order to comply with the EC-directive on cross border credit transfers, the optional code word EXCH may be used to transport an exchange rate. In line with ERI, the code word EXCH is placed between slashes, followed by the exchange rate, format 12d, and terminated with another slash.
