This specification provides the definition of the Authorization message (AUTHOR) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.
An Authorization Message is sent by the Ordering Customer (or Payor or Agent on behalf of the Ordering Customer) or by a third party having authority on the Ordering Customer's payments to the Ordered Bank, to authorize the Ordered Bank to execute a given financial transaction.
This financial transaction might relate to both multiple messages like PAYMUL and DIRDEB, and single instruction messages like PAYORD and PAYEXT.
An Authorization Message could also be sent from the Ordered Bank to the Ordering Customer or its Authorization Authority to request authorization for a given financial transaction.
Throughout this document the term 'Original Message' refers to the message to be authorized.
The Authorization message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.
See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1.
See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 2.
