0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Balance of
payment information from customer message (BOPINF) to be used
in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners
involved in administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
The Balance of payment information from customer message is
sent from a customer to the customer's bank in order to inform
the customer's bank of information relating to one or more
external payments which have been received in settlement of
transactions with non-residents and which must be reported on
by the bank to the responsible authority for Balance of Payment
reporting purposes.
1.2 Field of application
The Balance of payment information from customer message may be
used for both national and international applications. It is
based on universal practice related to administration, commerce
and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
industry.
1.3 Principles
In some countries the receipt of an external payment by a
customer has to be reported to the authority responsible for
the compilation of Balance of Payments (BOP) statistics via the
customer's resident bank.
It is assumed that the customer has previously been informed of
the external payment receipt by means of a credit advice
(CREADV) message sent by the customer's bank. This means that
the customer need only report in the BOPINF message any
required Balance of Payment information relating to the
transaction which was not contained in the credit advice
message as long as a reference to the received credit advice
message is included. The main function of the BOPINF message
therefore is to provide additional Balance of Payment
information related to the external payment and which is
unknown by the customer's bank.
For onwards periodic reporting to the authority responsible for
the compilation of Balance of Payments statistics the
customer's bank has to combine the contents of any referenced
CREADV messages with the related BOPINF messages in order to
prepare the Balance of payment customer transaction report
message (BOPCUS).
The message has been designed with a main detail loop each
repetition of which should be used to provide information
related to a single credit advice.
