What camt.010 is for
The ReturnLimit message is sent by the transaction administrator to a member of the system.
It is used to provide information on the details of one or more limits set by the member (or on behalf of the member) and managed by the transaction administrator.
The ReturnLimit message can be sent as a response to a related GetLimit message (pull mode) or initiated by the transaction administrator (push mode). The push of information can take place either at prearranged times or as a warning or alarm when a problem has occurred.
At any time during the operating hours of the system, the member can query the transaction administrator to get information about the limit(s) that the transaction administrator manages for the member.
The transaction administrator may also send a ReturnLimit message with pre-defined information at times previously agreed with the member or to warn the member about a particular problem that may have arisen and which needs attention.
The message from the transaction administrator can contain information on the following elements:
- type of risk and/or liquidity limit
- value of the limit(s) (default and/or current limit(s) for risk and/or liquidity management)
- identification of the system
- status of the limit(s) (default and/or current limit(s) for risk and/or liquidity management)
- point in time when the limit becomes effective
- identification of the counterparty
Additional information on the generic design of the Get/Return messages can be found in the section How to Use the Cash Management Messages.
