Clarification of the dates being reported for the A and B output records for ACE PF and MS Statements:

For ACE Final PF and MS statements the "A" record Transmission Date field will reflect the date ACE prepares the statement batch for transmission to the trade. Final statements are transmitted the day after the acceptance of the preliminary statement payment.

For ACE Final PF and MS statements the "B" record Preliminary Statement Print Date field will reflect the date the Preliminary Statement was generated to the trade.
ACE is following the ACE CATAIR guidelines in the ACE Batch & Block Control Chapter.
