CommBank Reporting GuideBTRS and BAI2 Data Files

About this guide

As of 13 February 2018, you may begin to see New Payments Platform (NPP) transactions appearing in your CommBank transactional data. This guide outlines:

• New NPP transaction codes, for both BTRS and BAI2 data files• Exporting BTRS and BAI2 data files from CommBiz• Retrieval of NPP transactional information• Identifying NPP transactions on your CommBank bank

statements

In the first half of 2018, you will only see inbound NPP transactions in your transaction data to notate an NPP payment has been received into your account. Once CommBiz enables full initiation of NPP payments, all new transaction codes may appear in your transaction data as shown in this guide.

If you receive a BAI2 data file into your ERP system, you may want to consider integrating the BTRS data file into your system to enable extended NPP transaction descriptions (up to 280 characters). BAI2 files provide truncated NPP transaction descriptions (up to 35 characters).
