0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Multiple
credit advice message (CREMUL) to be used in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional Definition
A Multiple Credit Advice message is sent by an Account
Servicing Financial Institution to the Account Owner or to a
third party, which has agreed bilaterally in advance, that its
account (s) has been or will be credited for specified amount
(s) on the date (s) indicated, in settlement of the referenced
business transaction (s).
1.2 Field of Application
The Multiple credit advice message may be used for both
national and international trade. It is based on universal
commercial practice and is not dependent on the type of
business or industry.
1.3 Principles
- A CREMUL may cover the financial settlement of one or more
commercial trade transactions, such as invoices, credit notes,
debit notes, etc. It is not intended for use in securities
trading.
- Several credit accounts, value dates, entry dates and
currencies may be specified.

4. MESSAGE DEFINITION
4.1 Data Segment Clarification
This section should be read in conjunction with the Branching
Diagram and the Segment Table which indicate mandatory,
conditional and repeating requirements.
The following semantic principles apply to the message and are
intended to facilitate the understanding and implementation of
the message:
The Multiple Credit Advice message is structured in three
levels: A, B and C.
- Level A Segment Groups 1,2,3 and 28 contains general data
related to the whole message.
- Level B Segment Groups 4 to 9 is based on the following
rules:
Level B contains data which applies to all the dependent C
levels, such as,
Same area Code:
When the BUS segment is used, domestic and international items
should not be mixed in the same sequence of B and C levels.
Same currency and same account:
The items to be grouped must refer to the same account. The
currency to be booked must be the same as that of the account.
Same value date:
The items must have the same value date.
Same entry date:
The items must be booked on the same day.
Same bank operation code:
The items must bear the same bank operation code.
Remark: If, for the same receiver, one of these 5 basic
pieces of information changes, a new level B is required.
- Level C Segment Groups 10 to 27 contains the individual
transactions, which are related to the data stored on level B.
- The structure of the message is designed to allow several B
and C levels, each level B being followed by one or several C
levels.
- Where a choice of code or text is given only the code element
should be used wherever possible.
