What MT970 is used for
The layout follows the MT950: opening balance, statement lines in field 61 and closing balance. Entries are sorted by ascending amount within debits and credits, and a long statement is spread over several messages numbered in field 28C.
Between scheduled statements the netting system can send an MT972 interim statement, and an MT971 gives balances only. A subscriber asks for them with an MT973.
