ScotiaConnect Transaction Reporting: 60+ Filterable Fields for Canadian Commercial Clients

ScotiaConnect Transaction Reporting gives Canadian treasury teams, controllers and auditors direct access to every payment, deposit, adjustment and fee across the Scotiabank commercial estate — filtered on more than 60 indexed fields, saved as reusable views and scheduled for delivery in BAI2, MT940, ISO 20022 CAMT, CSV or PDF.

One screen. Every transaction. Every channel. The same engine that powers real-time account summaries produces the report your CFO needs for month-end, the file your ERP needs for reconciliation and the audit trail your regulator expects under OSFI record-keeping.

Sixty-Plus Indexed Fields

Every dimension your reconciliation, audit and forecasting workflows depend on.

Reporting Dimensions You Can Filter On

  • Identity — originator name, beneficiary name, account number, counterparty BIC, reference number.
  • Timing — post date, value date, effective date, created timestamp, approved timestamp, released timestamp.
  • Classification — transaction type, BAI2 code, ISO 20022 code, channel (web, mobile, API, file upload), product.
  • Money — amount, currency, FX rate, fee, net amount, running balance.
  • Controls — user who initiated, user who approved, user who released, dual-control flag, status.

Every field is indexed at the database layer so even a ten-year search across a 50-entity group returns sub-second. Filters can be chained with AND/OR logic and grouped with parentheses — for example "all USD wires above $250,000 released by the AP supervisor between 2026-Q1 start and month-end, excluding internal transfers". The query preview shows matching row count before execution so analysts can refine before running.

Saved views are the productivity unlock. A typical treasury team at a mid-market Canadian organisation maintains 12 to 20 saved views: daily cash position, weekly EFT batch reconciliation, monthly wire activity, quarterly FX P&L, FINTRAC large cash transaction reporting, and ad-hoc audit pulls. Views can be private, shared within a department or published to the whole organisation.

Format Interoperability

BAI2, MT940, MT942, ISO 20022 CAMT, CSV and PDF — pick what your downstream system ingests.

BAI2 is the workhorse for North American ERP integration. ScotiaConnect emits compliant BAI2 type-2 and type-3 records that load directly into SAP Cash Management, Oracle Cloud ERP, NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics 365 without transformation. MT940 and MT942 support international treasury workstations such as Kyriba, GTreasury and FIS Quantum. ISO 20022 CAMT.053 and CAMT.054 are the go-forward standard under Payments Canada's Lynx and Real-Time Rail modernisation, described at payments.ca.

PDF exports include a cryptographically-signed header showing the user who ran the report, the timestamp, the filter criteria and the row count. This satisfies the auditable trail expectation under CPA Canada assurance standards and works for external auditors running year-end testing.

Audit Trail and Seven-Year Retention

Every report execution is itself a logged event: user, timestamp, filter criteria, row count, export format, delivery destination, IP address. The audit log is immutable and retained for seven years in alignment with OSFI record-keeping guidance. Designated Auditor role users can query the audit log directly without disturbing production operators.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many fields can I filter on in ScotiaConnect reports?
ScotiaConnect Transaction Reporting exposes more than 60 filterable fields including transaction type, currency, originator, beneficiary, value date, BAI code, user, channel, dollar range, reference number, correspondent bank and FX rate. All fields are indexed for sub-second query response.
Can I schedule report delivery?
Yes. Saved views can be scheduled daily, weekly or monthly with email delivery to a distribution list or SFTP push to an ERP drop zone. Delivery windows can be aligned to Payments Canada AFT and Lynx cutoffs so reports arrive before month-end close.
What export formats are supported?
BAI2, SWIFT MT940 and MT942, ISO 20022 CAMT.053 and CAMT.054, flat CSV and printable PDF. BAI2 and MT940 integrate natively with SAP, Oracle and NetSuite. PDF includes an auditable header with the user, timestamp and filter criteria.
Is there an audit trail on reports?
Yes. Every report run is logged with the user, filter set, timestamp, rows returned and delivery destination. The audit log is retained for seven years in line with OSFI record-keeping guidance and is exportable by the Super User or an authorised Auditor role.
Can I save my filter criteria?
Yes. Saved views store the full filter set, column selection, sort order and export format. Views can be private to a user or shared across a department. A typical treasury team has 12 to 20 saved views covering month-end, weekly AP cycles and regulatory filings.
