Definition
The Settlement Instructions message provides the broker’s, the institution’s, or the intermediary’s instructions for trade settlement. This message has been designed so that it can be sent from the broker to the institution, from the institution to the broker, or from either to an independent "standing instructions" database or matching system or, for CIV, from an intermediary to a fund manager.
Message structure 83 distinct fields
Source order, including nested components and groups. Group counts precede the repeated entries. “Required here” is relative to the enclosing component or group, not unconditional in the message. A dash means not marked required; conditional requirements remain in the source notes. This is a reference, not a counterparty-specific validator.
