Transit Type Code (74/TT)

Set up codes in UDC table 74/TT to indicate transit types. This code is used to validate the supplier's bank transit number. You must specify the format of the transit number for each transit type in the Description 02 field using these characters:

  • N: Numeric; blank not allowed

  • Y: Numeric; blank allowed

  • X: Nonnumeric; blank not allowed

  • Z: Nonnumeric; blank allowed

  • B: Alphanumeric; blank allowed

The system uses the format that you specify to validate the bank transit number.

For example, entering NNNN in the Description 02 field indicates that transit numbers of the associated transit type consist of four numeric characters with blanks allowed in each position.

You should enter the format for domestic accounts in the Description 02 field for the blank UDC code.

Note: When a transit number has fewer characters than the specified format, the system adds trailing blanks to the transit number. Do not change the SW (Swift address worldwide) code. The format in the Description 02 field of the SW code is hard-coded for validation of the Swift code.
