Usage rules exist only for certain messages when being exchanged between two specific partners. Software AG does not provide built-in usage rules because they vary by trading partner pairs, but you can create usage rules for particular messages by writing individual services based on the message documentation (.pdf) provided by SWIFT. To implement a usage rule, you must specify the service you created in the UsageRule parameter in the TPA for the particular SWIFT message.
