Transaction Sequence Number Code (tfcmg0513m000)

Use this session to define sequence number codes and to display the last used transaction sequence numbers and sequence control numbers.

For each bank, you can specify the sequence number code to be used in the Bank Branches (tfcmg0511m000) session.

Transaction sequence numbering can be used for two important reasons:

  • To prevent unauthorised changes of data.
  • To prevent duplicate transmissions of payment orders.
  • Sequence Number Code. The sequence number of the transaction. Each day, the transaction sequence counter must be set back to 000001. Make sure that the transaction sequence numbers are assigned in an unbroken series throughout the entire working day. This is particularly important if you transfer multiple batches on a day.
  • Sequence Control Number. The sequence control number of the transaction. The first time transaction transferred to the bank must have sequence number 0001. The counter then runs continuously (without regard to the calendar date) up to 9999. The next number after 9999 is again 0000.

Both types of sequence numbers are incremented for every report line of the bank file. For examle, if there are two payment lines in a bank file with one header line and one footer line, four sequence numbers are generated as follows:

  • 1 for the header.
  • 2 and 3 for each of the lines.
  • 4 for the footer.

Field Information

Sequence Number Code

The sequence number of the transaction. Each day, the transaction sequence counter must be set back to 000001. Make sure that the transaction sequence numbers are assigned in an unbroken series throughout the entire working day. This is particularly important if you transfer multiple batches on a day.

Description of the code

The description or name of the code.

Date of Last Bank File

The date and time when the most recent previous bank file was created.

Transaction Sequence Number

The transaction sequence number of the most recent bank transaction.

Sequence Control Number

The sequence control number of the transaction. The first time transaction transferred to the bank must have sequence number 0001. The counter then runs continuously (without regard to the day or date) up to 9999. The next number after 9999 is again 0000.
