scope:

The Technical Report provides some background material and a relevant synopsis of the ANSI X9.100-182 standard. It explains the structure principle behind the mapping approach. And finally, it provides field-by-field data content mapping from the image cash letter file records to the respective XML element layers.

The Technical Report focuses on, and restricts itself to, those ANSI X9.100-182 Part 2-1 defined elements and element layers in the XML structure that have equivalence in the ANSI X9.100-187 file record fields. The Technical Report does not provide content detail on ANSI X9.100-182 Part 2-1 XML elements that do not have a direct equivalence in ANSI X9.100-187 file record fields.

The guidelines and suggestions in the Technical Report apply to the technical specifications as documented in the ANSI X9.100.187 image cash letter standard, and the technical functionality implemented in the XML schema files that are a component of the ANSI X9.100-182 Part 2-1 standard. A proprietary adoption of the ANSI X9.100-187 standard, or the use of a proprietary rendering of the ANSI X9.100-182 schema files, may render some or all of the guidelines in this Technical Report to be incompatible with the programming processes of the adopter.

Although it is possible and even desirable in certain situations to transfer data from the ANSI X9.100-182 XML element structure to equivalent data placement in an ANSI X9.100-187 cash letter file, this Technical Report does not provide specific information to assist with that directional transition. The Technical Report focuses on the transfer from ANSI X9.100-187 to ANSI X9.100-182 Part 2-1 only. However, the information provided in this Technical Report is sufficient for the reader to conclude how to affect a transfer of data from ANSI X9.100-182 Part 2-1 to ANSI X9.100-187.
