MTN96 Usage Rules
The content of field 20 Transaction Reference Number of the related MT n95 Queries or MT n92 Request for Cancellation must always be quoted.
The use of the MT n96 in association with the MT 105 EDIFACT Envelope must be in accordance with the specific guidelines detailed in the appropriate volume of the EDIFACT Message Implementation Guides (MIGs).
The message to which the MT n96 Answers is related may be quoted in part or in full.
The MT 296 must be used in the cheque truncation environment in answering an MT 295 previously received.
An MT 596 must not be used to respond to a cancellation request of any ISO 15022 compliant message. An ISO 15022 compliant status message should be used instead, that is, an MT 509, 548, or 567. In these messages, field 23G, subfield Function, should contain the code CAST (Cancellation Request Status) (see also the Standards Category 5 volumes).
When the original message contained a Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference (UETR), this UETR may be copied in field 121 in the user header block of the MT 196, MT 296, or MT 996 answer message.
