What PMNT/IDDT/BBDD means
A bank transaction code classifies an entry in three levels, each narrower than the last. Read together, PMNT/IDDT/BBDD reads Payments › Issued Direct Debits › SEPA B2B Direct Debit.
- PMNT (Payments). Every movement of funds between parties, such as transfers, direct debits, cheques, cards and cash.
- IDDT (Issued Direct Debits). Collections the account owner made from its debtors.
- BBDD (SEPA B2B Direct Debit).
Where it sits in a camt.053
The code is in each entry’s BkTxCd/Domn block, the same way in camt.052, camt.053 and camt.054 and in every version from .001.02 to .001.13:
<Ntry>
<Amt Ccy="EUR">1250.00</Amt>
<CdtDbtInd>CRDT</CdtDbtInd>
<Sts><Cd>BOOK</Cd></Sts>
<BkTxCd>
<Domn>
<Cd>PMNT</Cd>
<Fmly>
<Cd>IDDT</Cd>
<SubFmlyCd>BBDD</SubFmlyCd>
</Fmly>
</Domn>
</BkTxCd>
…
</Ntry>Banks may add their own code in BkTxCd/Prtry, next to the ISO code or instead of it (a German bank’s three-digit business transaction code, for example). Prefer the ISO code for rules that should work across banks.
What the entry carries
Booked like a Core collection, usually one entry per payment block. A collection the debtor’s bank refuses comes back with a reason such as AC13 (the debtor is a consumer) or MD01 (no mandate registered).
In an MT940
An MT940 has no ISO code: each :61: statement line carries a three-letter transaction type after an identification letter. The one with the same meaning is NDDT (Direct debit item). It is coarser than the ISO code, so several ISO codes share it.
The MT940 Viewer converts MT940 to camt.053, and keeps the :61: type as a proprietary code (BkTxCd/Prtry, issuer SWIFT) rather than guessing an ISO code. All the types are in the MT940 transaction type codes.
