5.4 Generation of the FS Confirmation Message for CLS deals (MT304)
This topic describes the generation of confirmation message for CLS deals.
The MT 304 will be generated automatically for an FX deal if the following conditions are satisfied.
- The deal is CLS Eligible
- User has not maintained the SWIFT primary address for the counterparty with message type as ‘FX CONFIRMN’, OR
- The ‘T-Copy Required’ option is not selected at the branch level
If the above conditions are satisfied, MT 304 will be generated in addition to MT 300 (FX Confirmation Message). Depending upon the operation performed, whether you have captured a new deal, amended an existing deal or canceled a deal, one of the following MT304 Message Types will be generated.
- FS_FMCONF_NEW – For a new deal
- FS_FMCONF_AMND – When a deal is amended
- FS_FMCONF_CANC – On cancellation of a deal
The following table lists the fields that are different between MT300 and MT304. It also identifies the fields that are mandatory for MT304.The ‘Receiver’ of MT304 will be the BIC of the ‘Settlement Member’ defined for your branch that is a CLS participant of the ‘Third Party’ type. MT304 will be always sent to this Settlement Member. MT300 will always be sent to the counterparty.
