camt.027 — Claim Non-Receipt

Opens an investigation when expected funds are missing at the creditor or when a payment instruction arrived without its expected cover. It locates missing value; it is not proof of non-settlement or a return instruction.

DIRECTION: Sent by the party claiming non-receipt to the party expected to trace the payment or cover leg, and may be forwarded along the processing chain.

Version + profile: camt.027 is a message-family identifier, not a complete version. The numeric .001.xx definition and field rules depend on the scheme, service, usage guideline, and implementation version named in each context; sample namespaces show only the illustrated version.

IMPLEMENTATION RESOURCES

Start with the exact message version, then apply the scheme or network profile that governs your implementation.

An XSD checks XML structure. A usage guideline adds profile rules, conditional fields, code restrictions, and business controls. XSD-valid does not mean scheme-compliant.

COMMON ERRORS

  • Opening the claim without saying whether the customer credit or cover is missing.Consequence: Different teams investigate different legs and the case stalls.Avoid it: Name the missing event and include the original message, UETR, amount, date and cover details where relevant.
  • Treating the claim as evidence that funds never settled.Consequence: A settled payment held in suspense can be duplicated or returned incorrectly.Avoid it: Reconcile message receipt, settlement account entries and customer posting before deciding the remedy.

USAGE CONTEXTS

  • Missing creditor creditThe payment chain is traced to distinguish a missing message, settlement break, suspense posting or customer-posting delay.
  • Missing coverA received customer-payment announcement has no matching reimbursement movement, so the cover agents and account evidence must be traced.
