Creating Profiles
Profiles are always defined per transaction code, transaction codes being implicitly linked to transaction types (International, Commercial or Domestic Transfers). You need to set up Profiles from the less particular case to the most particular case, since several combinations are possible.
Let's say all your branches use the AFB160 format for Domestic Transfers, except one which uses the MT100 format. So, you first need to create a general profile for the transaction code of Domestic Payments, specifying the AFB160 format, the subformat and the protocol with no more details. And then, you need to create a profile that takes into account the country of the applicant's branch, and the applicant's branch which generates the exception to the rule specifying the MT100 format. But further specificity is still possible: this branch which is different from the other ones because of its format, could also use another format for a particular applicant. In this case, a profile should be created with the transaction code and the branch, PLUS the relevant applicant and format.

To specify an exception, you also need to complete the following fields before creating the profile:
- The country of the applicant's branch when it is a distinctive criterion.
- The applicant's branch, when it does not aply the same conditions as the others.
- The applicant, if it has special conditions compared with the other applicants working with the selected branch.
- The payor's account, when regarding the selected country, branch and applicant, all accounts have the same processing, except this one.
- The beneficiary, when the payee's bank uses a format, subformat and/or protocol that are different from the others.
- The payee and its bank account ID to specify the account generating the exception.
