pacs.010.001.03

Q: What business area does pacs.010.001.03 belong to?

Payments Clearing and Settlement ( pacs ).

Q: How do I validate a pacs.010 message?

Run askiso validate message.xml . The schema is found from the document's own namespace, so you do not name it. Validation needs that schema installed. To check the business rules without one, run askiso lint instead.

What pacs.010.001.03 is

pacs.010.001.03 is an ISO 20022 message definition. Its business area is Payments Clearing and Settlement (pacs), and pacs.010 is the definition it versions.

AskISO does not copy the specification. The Registration Authority publishes the message definition report and the schema, free of charge. The links below go straight there.

This is one of 5 published versions of pacs.010, and it is not the newest. The current version is pacs.010.001.06. That does not make this page obsolete: a counterparty running an older integration may still send you exactly this version, and you will need to read it.

Versions of pacs.010

The standard publishes 5 versions of this definition. A newer version does not automatically replace an older one. The scheme or market infrastructure you send to decides which version you should be using.

What AskISO does with pacs.010.001.03

askiso info pacs.010.001.03                    # metadata and schema paths
askiso validate message.xml                    # full XSD validation, needs the schema
askiso lint message.xml                        # business rules, needs no schema
askiso generate pacs.010.001.03 --from-schema  # walks the schema

SWIFT MT equivalence

One MT message converts into pacs.010:

MT204 — Financial Markets Direct Debit Message. One institution collects from others, typically for margin. Every party is an institution rather than a customer.

askiso translate payment.mt204

pacs.010 also converts back to MT. Both directions carry a fidelity report naming every field that was mapped, derived, truncated or lost, because conversion between the two is lossy in both directions.

Questions

What business area does pacs.010.001.03 belong to?

Payments Clearing and Settlement (pacs).

How do I validate a pacs.010 message?

Run askiso validate message.xml. The schema is found from the document's own namespace, so you do not name it. Validation needs that schema installed. To check the business rules without one, run askiso lint instead.

Does AskISO include the pacs.010.001.03 schema?

No. AskISO ships no ISO 20022 specification content at all. You download the message set from the Registration Authority, then import it with askiso catalog add. The binary carries only an index: what exists, and where to find it.

Which version of pacs.010 should I send?

The scheme or market infrastructure you send to decides that, not the standard. There are 5 published versions. Run askiso diff <from> <to> to see every structural difference between two of them, marked as breaking or compatible.
