MT578 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 advise the account owner that a counterparty has alleged an instruction against account owner's account at the account servicer and the account servicer could not find the corresponding instruction of the account owner (the function of the message is NEWM).

C5 If the alleged instruction is a Delivery (:22H::REDE//DELI in sequence B) then it is mandatory to specify a delivering agent: one occurrence of subsequence E1 Settlement Parties must contain party field :95a::DEAG.
If the alleged instruction is a Receipt (:22H::REDE//RECE in sequence B) then it is mandatory to specify a receiving agent: one occurrence of subsequence E1 Settlement Parties must contain party field :95a::REAG.

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.

C9 A value date must only be provided for cash/securities split settlement. That is, in any occurrence of subsequence E3, if value date field :98a::VALU is present, then in sequence E field :22F::STCO//SPST must be present, and settlement amount field :19A::SETT must be present in the same subsequence E3.

MT578 Usage Rules
This message should not be used to report postings, for example, free receipts requiring no instruction, to the account owner's account.
When the account owner receives a settlement allegement, he must send the matching settlement instruction if he wants settlement to occur.
Where the account owner finds the settlement allegement incorrect, for example, his counterparty made a mistake or the instruction is not his, the settlement allegement should be ignored.
