Answers a camt.110 investigation through Swift Case Management with structured status, evidence, and links to the original payment and case.
DIRECTION: Sent through the Case Orchestrator by the institution answering or forwarding the investigation response.
Version + profile: camt.111 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.

Full guidelines require MyStandards access. Public guidance states that after 14 November 2026 fully unstructured addresses are removed for in-scope CBPR+ traffic, with explicit message exceptions including admi.024, camt.025, camt.052, camt.053, camt.054 and camt.060.

Full field-level specifications live in the Swift Knowledge Centre User Handbook behind a swift.com login. Coexistence for in-scope FI-to-FI payment instructions ended on 22 November 2025, but treatment differs by MT: some instructions are NAKed and selected messages can enter temporary, chargeable contingency conversion. Reporting, initiation, investigations and correspondence follow separate roadmaps.

What this simplifies: One-line plain-language descriptions of the commonly-populated elements — a practitioner view, not the authoritative ISO 20022 / MT schema, which defines many more optional elements.

COMMON ERRORS
Confusing camt.111 with a cancellation response.Consequence: A cancellation case is closed without the required camt.029 outcome or return movement.Avoid it: Keep investigation response and payment cancellation response as distinct processes.
Replying without the original case and assignment references.Consequence: The orchestrator or recipient cannot attach the answer to the open request.Avoid it: Echo the request identifiers exactly and preserve the UETR.
USAGE CONTEXTS
Swift Case ManagementThe response is orchestrated against a camt.110 case and cannot be treated as a bilateral free-format message.
Migration from MT answersIt structures investigation answers that legacy flows carried in MT196 or MT199, while cancellation responses remain camt.029.

Do not generalise the payment-instruction deadline to every FIN message. Swift publishes differentiated NAK, contingency-conversion, reporting, initiation and exceptions-and-investigations treatment.
