Standard 015 – Companion Document to the ANSI X9.100-187-2008, “Specifications for Electronic
Exchange of Check and Image Data”

Overview and Background

1 Purpose and Scope

This document is intended to be an industry-specific companion document for the creation of image files
for exchange between CPA member Financial Institutions in Canada. This document is a complement to
the US standard ANSI X9.100-187-2008 “Specifications for Electronic Exchange of Check and Image
Data – Domestic”.
This document is not intended to replace the ANSI X.100-187-2008 standard for image delivery in
Canada. Rather, it is intended to provide clarification and substitutive information for the effective
adoption of ANSI X9.100-187-2008, for image exchange in Canada.
This document strictly provides the details for the Image Captured Payment File as it is proposed for
Inter-Member exchange in Canada. As such, the document makes no other assumptions concerning the
business use of the Image Captured Payments File. For example, business decisions not within the
scope of this document include, but are not limited to:
 The decision to create and exchange an Image Captured Payment File, versus continuation of
traditional paper exchange via original paper Items, Clearing Replacement Documents (CRD), or
Return Replacement Documents (RRD).
 The choice of application software used to create the Image Captured Payments File.
 The choice of application software used ingest, parse, and process the Image Captured Payment
File, including both exchange gateway ‘receive’ systems and systems to create paper CRDs from
electronic files.
 The use of an Image Captured Payment File for purposes other than Inter-Member exchange,
including regional capture, branch capture, corporate capture or other depository line-of-business
source capture.
 The use of the Image Captured Payment File for image delivery between the U.S. and Canada.

4 Considerations for the use of this Companion Document


4.1 General Design of this Document

Parts A and B of this document provide the technical specifications for the Image Captured Payment File
in Canada, based upon the technical specification for the image exchange file as detailed in the ANSI
X9.100-187-2008 standard.

Each section on each of the record types in the ANSI X9.100-187-2008 standard is specifically addressed
in this document. The sections within Parts A and B are numbered according to the convention and
numbering scheme used in the original ANSI X9.100-187-2008 standard. This facilitates easy reference
between this document and the corresponding section in the original ANSI X9.100-187-2008 standard.

For consistency with the ANSI X9.100-187-2008 standard, the language in the Parts A and B of this
document retains the U.S. spelling conventions, and will be available in English only.

4.2 Technical Layout and Content

Parts A and B of this document contain one section for each of the record types in the original ANSI
X9.100-187-2008 standard. If a specific record is not relevant for the file in Canada, then the respective
section is still included in this document, but is noted as not being applicable.

4.2.1 Section Component – Narrative for Companion Document


Standard 015
Page 3
Standard 015 – Companion Document to the ANSI X9.100-187-2008, “Specifications for Electronic
Exchange of Check and Image Data”

The narrative is the description of the specific record type as it appears in the ANSI X9.100-187-2008
standard, with the appropriate modifications and exclusions to tailor and restrict the content to the
requirement for Image Captured Payments in Canada.

4.2.2 Section Component – Record Field Summary Table

The summary table is a copy of the summary data table for the respective record fields from the parent
ANSI X9.100-187-2008 standard. It is reproduced in this document for expedient visual reference. Refer
to Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X9, Inc. - Permission for Reproduction in section 2.0 of
this document.

4.2.3 Section Component – Field Specifications

In this section, each field within the respective record type is presented in detail. The field descriptors
provide the following information:

 Content that is specific to file delivery in Canada. This content takes precedence over the
specification in the ANSI X9.100-187-2008 Standard.
 Fields that have significance for general image exchange in the ANSI X9.100-187-2008 Standard,
but have no special overriding content considerations for use in Canada.
 Fields that have no special priority business value in either the US or Canada, and may optionally
be used or unused without core business impact.
 Fields that have business use that is specific to facilitate exchange, clearing, and settlement via
the Automated Clearing and Settlement System (ACSS) for which additional information is
provided in CPA Rule A10, “Image Rule”.

4.3 Record Field Data Types

Each field within each record has an associated data type. The data type provides basic information as to
how that field is used and populated in the parent ANSI X9.100-187-2008 standard, and by comparison
how that same field is used and populated according to this companion document, for use in Image
Captured Payment Exchange in Canada.

Narrative for Companion Document


The Check Detail Addendum C Record is Conditional. It is presented in an abbreviated format. The use of
this record is subject to special clearing arrangements between the delivering and the receiving Direct
Clearers.

The delivery of an Image Captured Payment file from one Direct Clearer to another can optionally be
completed without the transfer of the Image View records for the items, subject to a special clearing
arrangement.

Within the ANSI X9.100-187-2008 standard, the Check Detail Addendum B Record is intended to be a
mechanism to transfer an electronic image archive locator key for an item that is delivered without image
segments, for which the images can be separately extracted from the Archive store.

This Companion Document does not provide specifications or instructions as to how image access is
provided under such agreements. However, as the Check Detail Addendum B Record is within the base
ANSI X9.100-187-2008 standard, and is intended to assist in archival retrieval for non-image delivery, the
Check Detail Addendum B Record is presented as an optional facilitator for such special clearing
arrangements.

Data in each Check Detail Addendum B Record is transferred to a corresponding Return Addendum C
Record (Type 34) should the item be returned by image.

The Check Detail Addendum C Record contains thirteen fields. It is one of three addendum type records
available that may be used with the Check Detail Record (Type 25).

One Check Detail Addendum C Record is Mandatory. The Mandatory Check Detail Addendum C Record
shall always be used with a Check Detail Record (Type 25), although others may also be present. The

if the Check Detail Addendum C Record (Type 27) is omitted from the file;
4) The Check Detail Record (Type 25):
if all other Addendum records are omitted from the file.

Data in each Check Detail Addendum C Record is transferred to a corresponding Return Addendum D

The Image View Data Record is Conditional and contains nineteen fields. This record follows its
immediately preceding Image View Detail Record (Type 50). The Image View Data Record shall be
present when the Cash Letter Type Indicator - Field 08 in the Cash Letter Header Record (Type 10) has
Defined Value of ‘I’.

The Image View Data Record and the Image View Detail Record (Type 52) shall be used together to
convey an image view associated with the related Check Detail Record (Type 25). When an Image View
Detail Record (Type 50) is present, an Image View Data Record (Type 52) shall also be present.

The Image View Data Record contains sixteen fixed length fields, and three variable length fields which
are optionally used. Only one of the variable length fields, Image Data – Field 19, is actually used and
shall be Mandatory when the Image View Data Record is present. The content of the field is always
variable.

The image view on the file delivered to the exchange is normally created by the delivering Direct Clearer.
An Image View Data Record may be created by another Financial Institution that creates the image
segment, and that Image View Data Record is then transferred to the Direct Clearer for delivery.
However, the data fields in the Image View Data Record that is delivered by the Direct Clearer reflect the
Direct Clearer.

Refer to X9 Section > 21 Image View Detail Record (Type 50) for considerations on the optional
omission of image segments from the file, the inclusion of various image segments on the file, and the
creator of the image segments.

Narrative for Companion Document


The Return Addendum A Record is Mandatory and contains thirteen fields. It is one of four addendum
type records that may be used with the Return Record (Type 31), three of which are Mandatory.

The Return Addendum A Record follows its immediately preceding Return Record (Type 31). The Return
Addendum A Record shall be used to indicate the Financial Institution designated to receive and process
the return of the item associated with the preceding Return Record (Type 31). The Return Processing
Bank may or may not be the BOFD. The Financial Institution that is indicated as the Return Processing
Bank shall be responsible for the proper disposition of the image return upon receipt.

If the Forward item corresponding to this return was originally presented by image and a Check Detail
Addendum A Record (Type 26) was included, then the Return Addendum A Record shall contain the
same information from the corresponding Check Detail Addendum A Record (Type 26).

If the Forward item corresponding to this Return was originally presented by image, but there was no
Check Detail Addendum A Record (Type 26), then a Return Addendum A Record shall be created and
will contain information that is keyed from viewing areas on the Forward presented image.

If the Forward item corresponding to this Return was originally presented as paper, either in the form of
the original paper item or a paper substitution CRD, then the Return Addendum A Record shall be
created and will contain endorsement information that is keyed from viewing the surface of the original
physical item or its image following processing of the item.

X9 Section > 17 Return Addendum C Record (Type 34)

Narrative for Companion Document


The Return Addendum C Record is Conditional. It is presented in an abbreviated format. The use of this
record is subject to special clearing arrangements between the delivering and the receiving Direct
Clearers.

The delivery of an Image Captured Payment file from one Direct Clearer to another can optionally be
completed without the transfer of the Image View records for the returned items, subject to a special
clearing arrangement.

Within the ANSI X9.100-187-2008 standard, the Return Addendum C Record is intended to be a
mechanism to transfer an electronic image archive locator key for a returned item that is delivered without
image segments, for which the images can be separately extracted from the Archive store.

This Companion Document does not provide specifications or instructions as to how image access is
provided under such agreements. However, as the Return Addendum C Record is within the base ANSI
X9.100-187-2008 standard, and is intended to assist in archival retrieval for non-image delivery, the
Return Addendum C Record is presented as an optional facilitator for such special clearing
arrangements.

If the Forward item corresponding to this return was originally presented by ICP File without Image View
record pairs (Type 50/52), and a Check Detail Addendum B Record (Type 27) was included, then the
Return Addendum C Record shall contain the same information from the corresponding Check Detail
Addendum B Record (Type 27), even if the image segments are included in Image View record pairs
(Type 50/52) with the Return Record (Type 31).

If the Forward item corresponding to this Return was originally presented by ICP File with Image View
record pairs (Type 50/52), and therefore there was no Check Detail Addendum B Record (Type 27), and
the item is being returned by ICP File without Image View record pairs (Type 50/52), then a new Return
Addendum C Record may be included to provide the image archive locator key.

If the Forward item corresponding to this Return was originally presented as paper, either as the original
paper item or a paper substitution CRD, and the item is being returned by ICP File without Image View
record pairs (Type 50/52), then a new Return Addendum C Record may be included to provide the image
archive locator key.

Narrative for Companion Document

The Return Addendum D Record contains thirteen fields. It is one of four addendum type records
available that may be used with the Return Record (Type 31), three of which are Mandatory.

One Return Addendum D Record is Mandatory. A Mandatory Return Addendum D Record shall always
be used with a Return Record (Type 31). Only the Mandatory Check Detail Addendum C Record is
expected with a Return Record (Type 31), although others may be present. The Mandatory record is used
to carry endorsement information identifying the delivering Direct Clearer as the Financial Institution
responsible for the delivery of the file to the exchange.

If only one Return Addendum D Record is present, then it shall be considered the Mandatory Return
Addendum D Record. If more than one record is present, then the most recent record in chronological
order shall be considered the Mandatory Return Addendum D Record.

The Return Addendum D Record shall follow:


5) Another Return Addendum D Record:
if there are multiple Return Addendum D Records in the file;
6) The Return Addendum C Record (Type 34):
if one is included in a non-image returns file to provide an archive locator key;
7) The Mandatory Return Addendum B Record (Type 33):
if the Return Addendum C Record (Type 34) is omitted from the file.

If the Forward item corresponding to this Return was originally presented by image, then one or more
Check Detail Addendum C Records (Type 28) were included, because at least one Check Detail
Addendum C Record (Type 28) was Mandatory. In this case, a Return Addendum D Record shall be
included for each Check Detail Addendum C Record (Type 28), and each shall contain the same
information from the corresponding Check Detail Addendum C Record (Type 28).

If the Forward item corresponding to this Return was originally presented as paper, either in the form of
the original paper item or a paper substitution CRD, then a Mandatory Return Addendum D Record shall
still be included.

Narrative for Companion Document


The Image View Detail Record is Conditional and contains nineteen fields. If present, this record follows
its immediately preceding Mandatory Return Addendum D Record (Type 35). The Image View Detail
Record shall also follow an Image View Data Record (Type 52) because an item has multiple image
views. The Image View Detail Record shall be present if the Cash Letter Record Type Indicator - Field 08
in the Cash Letter Header Record (Type 10) has a defined value of ‘I’.

The Image View Detail Record and the Image View Data Record (Type 52) shall be used together to
convey an image view associated with the related Return Record (Type 31). When an Image View Detail
Record (Type 50) is present, an Image View Data Record (Type 52) shall also be present.

Image segments related to the Return Record (Type 31) shall be ordered in the following sequence:
1) front bitonal; 2) front greyscale (*optional); 3) back bitonal; 4) back greyscale. (*optional)
* Note: the exchange of greyscale images is optional as outlined in Operational Agreements between
Members.

Front and back image segments shall always be included on the file, unless omitted by a clearing
arrangement. Image segments shall either be included for all items in the file, or omitted for all items in
the file. If image segments are omitted, then Image View Detail Records (Type 50) shall be omitted from
the file. If Image View Detail Records (Type 50) are omitted, then Cash Letter Record Type Indicator -
Field 08 in the Cash Letter Header Record (Type 10) shall have a defined value of ‘E’. Refer to X9
Section > 17 Return Addendum C Record (Type 34) for additional information on non-image returns
file transfer.

The image view for a returned item corresponding to an image presented Forward item was created by
the Direct Clearer that delivered the original Forward item, or by another Financial Institution that created
the image view and passed it to the forwarding Direct Clearer.

The image view for a returned item corresponding to a Forward item that was presented as an original

present when the Cash Letter Type Indicator - Field 08 in the Cash Letter Header Record (Type 10) has
Defined Value of ‘I’.

The Image View Data Record and the Image View Detail Record (Type 52) shall be used together to

the Direct Clearer that delivered the original Forward item, or by another Financial Institution that created
the image view and passed it to the forwarding Direct Clearer.

The image view for a returned item corresponding to a Forward item that was presented as an original
cheque or a CRD is created by the Direct Clearer that delivers the returned item.

The data fields in the Image View Data Record for the item that is returned by a Direct Clearer reflect the
returning Direct Clearer.

7.3 Rejected ICP File Notification

The format of an ICP File shall follow what is defined in the ANSI X9.100-187 Standard unless otherwise
noted in this document (Standard 015) and Rule A10. Failure to follow the data and field specifications
could result in a file rejection. In the event that an ICP File is rejected, notification from the Receiving
Direct Clearer should be provided to the Delivering Direct Clearer as soon as it becomes aware that the
file is rejected. The format (e.g. fixed block, text, PDF, etc.) and method of communicating the Rejected
ICP File Notice (e.g. email, FTP, fax, etc.) should be pre-established by the Participants involved in ICP
Exchange.

File Rejection Conditions: Failure to include mandatory information or adhere to the identified standard
file format may result in the rejection of an entire ICP File. When a rejection occurs the Receiving Direct
Clearer may contest the corresponding ACSS/USBE delivery in accordance with Rule A10. In addition,
certain record or item-level exceptions may also result in a rejected ICP File. If the number of such
