MT547 Scope
This message is sent by an account servicer (account servicing institution) to an account owner or its designated agent. The account servicer may be a local agent (sub-custodian) acting on behalf of their global custodian customer, or a custodian acting on behalf of an investment management institution or a broker/dealer.
This message is used to:
confirm the delivery of financial instruments against payment, physically or by book-entry, from a specified party (the function of the message is NEWM)
cancel a confirmation of a delivery against payment previously sent by the account servicer (the function of the message is CANC)
reverse a confirmation of a delivery against payment previously sent by the account servicer (the function of the message is RVSL)
The message is also used to pre-confirm settlement or to confirm a partial settlement of a delivery of financial instruments against payment.

C2 It is mandatory to specify a Settled Amount: one occurrence of subsequence E3 Amounts must contain amount field :19A::ESTT.
C3 If an Exchange Rate (field :92B::EXCH) is present, the corresponding Resulting Amount (field :19A::RESU) must be present in the same subsequence. If the Exchange Rate is not present then the Resulting Amount is not allowed. This check applies to subsequence E3.

C5 If field :22F::DBNM is NOT present in sequence E, then it is mandatory to specify a receiving agent and a place of settlement: one occurrence of subsequence E1 Settlement Parties must contain party field :95a::REAG and another one must contain party field :95a::PSET.
C6 If a qualifier from the list Deliverers is present in a subsequence E1, in a field :95a::4!c, then all the remaining qualifiers following this qualifier in the list Deliverers (see below) must be present.
In other words, in sequence E, the following scenarios must be validated:
If :95a::DEI2 is present in subsequence E1, then :95a::DEI1 must be present in another subsequence E1.
If :95a::DEI1 is present in subsequence E1, then :95a::DECU must be present in another subsequence E1.
If :95a::DECU is present in subsequence E1, then :95a::SELL must be present in another subsequence E1.
If a qualifier from the list Receivers is present in a subsequence E1, in a field :95a::4!c, then all the remaining qualifiers following this qualifier in the list Receivers (see below) must be present.
In other words, in sequence E, the following scenarios must be validated:
If :95a::REI2 is present in subsequence E1, then :95a::REI1 must be present in another subsequence E1.
If :95a::REI1 is present in subsequence E1, then :95a::RECU must be present in another subsequence E1.
If :95a::RECU is present in subsequence E1, then :95a::BUYR must be present in another subsequence E1.

C7 If the message is a cancellation or a reversal, that is, Function of the Message (field 23G) is CANC or RVSL, then field :20C::PREV must be present in one and only one occurrence of subsequence A1; consequently, in all other occurrences of A1, field :20C::PREV is not allowed.

C9 A reference to the previously received message must be specified, that is field 20C::RELA must be present in one and only one occurrence of subsequence A1 Linkages; field 20C::RELA is not allowed in all other occurrences of subsequence A1.
C10 In sequence C, field :36B::ESTT cannot appear more than twice (maximum two occurrences). When repeated, one occurrence must have Quantity Type Code FAMT and the other occurrence must have Quantity Type Code AMOR.

Per Network Validated Rules C1 (Error Code E87) and C2 (Error Code E92), field :19A::ESTT must be present in one occurrence of subsequence E3 and must not be used in any other occurrence of subsequence E3.
C12 In sequence F, if field :95a::EXCH Stock Exchange or :95a::TRRE Trade Regulator is present, then field :97a:: is not allowed in the same sequence.

In sequence B, field :94a::TRAD must not be present more than twice. When repeated, one and only one occurrence must be with format option L (:94L::TRAD).
In sequence C, field :94a::SAFE must not be present more than twice. When repeated, one and only one occurrence must be with format option L (:94L::SAFE).
In each occurrence of subsequence E1, field :95a::ALTE must not be present more than twice. When repeated, one and only one occurrence must be with format option L (:95L::ALTE).
In each occurrence of subsequence E2, field :95a::ALTE must not be present more than twice. When repeated, one and only one occurrence must be with format option L (:95L::ALTE).
In each occurrence of sequence F, field :95a::ALTE must not be present more than twice. When repeated, one and only one occurrence must be with format option L (:95L::ALTE).
C15 In each occurrence of sequence F, if field :95a::ALTE is present with format option L, then field :95a::MEOR and field :95a::MERE must not be present in the same occurrence of the sequence.
MT547 Usage Rules
The message may also be used to:
re-send a message (be it a confirmation, cancellation or reversal of a confirmation) sent by the account servicer to the account owner (the sub-function of the message is DUPL)
provide a third party with a copy of a message (be it a confirmation, cancellation or reversal of a confirmation) being sent by the account servicer for information (the sub-function of the message is COPY)
re-send a third party a copy of a message (be it a confirmation, cancellation or reversal of a confirmation) being sent by the account servicer for information (sub-function of the message is CODU)
When the message is used as a cancellation, the linkage sequence must contain the reference of the original confirmation.
