Background documentationRequest for Cancellation Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Request for cancellation is a process requirement for SEPA Direct Debits (SDD) and SEPA Credit Transfers (SCT). For example, customers who initiate SDDs can cancel payment transactions up until the due date. For this purpose, the creditor bank sends a request for cancellation prior to settlement to recall a previous payment instruction. The debtor bank has to accept the request for cancellation from the creditor bank by the due date.

Payment Engine supports the following scenarios:

  • Active request for cancellation

    • A recall is created out of customer call. If an outgoing message for the external payment items has already been sent, a Payment Cancellation Request (camt.056 ) message must be created.

    • A recall is created for an SDD or an SCT by importing a Customer Payment Cancellation Request (camt.055) message.

  • Passive request for cancellation

    A recall is created out of an interbank message (camt.056). No further message must be created.

Implementation Considerations

The SEPA Core Direct Debit Scheme Rulebook developed by the European Payments Council (EPC) does not cover requests for cancellation. The process for requesting for payment cancellation forms part of the bilateral agreement between the creditor bank and the clearing house, also known as the clearing settlement mechanism (CSM). However, it is mandatory that financial institutions that operate a Euro Banking Association’s (EBA) clearing system can handle requests for cancellation.

The functions and processes implemented in the Account Management (AM) Proxy component are designed for communication with the SAP Deposits Management and Bank Customer Accounts (BCA) account management systems.
