The message '00: Basic Financial Information' is made up of two registers, as it shows in the specification, take a look at the first register.
Instructions
Register 1
The first register is very important because it contains the information that identifies the issuer, it has the type of issuer, ticker, information type, etc. Below is an example of the frame:
00014101000010120200325BBAJIO 0120200101311220200325CR NOEMP00000000SI
In this way maybe has no sense, but break it down according to the specification:
Message | Issuer type | Account Type | Folio | Sequence | Registration Date | Issuer | Frequency | Years |
00 | 014 | 101 | 00001 | 01 | 20200325 | BBAJIO | 01 | 2020 |
Now, this part tells us that is a message '00'; then we have that the Issuer Type is '014' or a Credit Institution, the Account Type is '101' that means that is Balance Sheet; this information is essential due to indicates to What Catalog we need to review to read the Register 2. The Folio tells us if the other Account types belong to the same sending, we use the Sequence to tidy up the information.
From the Registration Date field, indicates us what the issuer is, the frequency for this case is Quarterly, the year, the Fiscal Year (see it below), the Information Type indicates if the information is Consolidated or not (for this case the information is consolidated). It is vital to take account of the Information Type too, because of the information in this one tell us what information the Register 2 will have.
| Fiscal Year | Current day | Information Type | Irregular Information | Audited Information | Re-issued Information | Re-issued Type | Re-issued Date | Listing Indicator |
| 01013112 | 20200325 | C | R | NO | EMP | 00000000 | SI |
Step 2: Populate the content in the template
After Register 1, you will receive Register 2. This one contains all the financial information reported by the Issuer, indicated in Register 1. Let's see the frame:
000141010000102 000000500000000 000000346786578 000000346893578 000000236789654 000000234576896 000000034567892 000000234567897 000000023456789 000000234512890 000000023356870 000000346786578 000000346893578
Does the part in blue remind you something? Doesn´t?, What about now?
Mensaje | Tipo de Emisora | Estado Tipo de cuenta | Folio | Secuencia |
00 | 014 | 101 | 00001 | 02 |
As in Registry 1, with this information, we know that it is a '00' message, that the Type of Issuer is a Credit Institution, which sent its Balance Sheet. The data after the sequence is the financial information that the issuer (in this case BBAJIO, according to Registry 1) is reporting. The data is ordered according to what is indicated in the Balance Sheet for Credit Institutions found in the Catalog. The information is sent consecutively and in groups of 12 signed data ('-' if the figure is negative or '' if the figure is positive), by Register 2 until the information of the report to which it refers is completed. So for our example, we would have:
If you want to know what each data refer to, you need to look up the Balance Sheet for Credit Institutions:
Now you know that the second data in the frame refers to Assets, and so on.
Both the information on Issuer Type and Account Type are found in the specification and in the Catalog respectively, so it is very important to review them.
