Hi all,

 

Does anyone know how the Payment_Block_No is defined in the standard Payment files? (We are using CORE_001.001.03_ISO20022)

 

As  we have a new requirement, we looked into how the data is structured. And we noticed that something payments are joint in the same block, but we cannot identify the logic behand this.

In this case, a Supplier Payment with a Supplier in Namibia and Denmark got added to the same Block_Number. Besides both suppliers being paid as Wire_Dom, nothing else seems to be in common. In the same Payment order, there are many more Wire_Dom payments, which are not combined in the same block.

Simply put, the Payment_Block_number indicates the count of Payment information blocks (<PmtInf>) in the file. If you're processing payments on the same date, with the same payment type, cash account, and currency, there will be just one payment block in the file. However, there can be multiple supplier payments listed within this single payment block. It's important to note that the details of each supplier's payment are filled under the PmtInf block.
