FTM for SWIFT - Amount field with ',' formatting on the MER screen

PBB would like the following requirement implemented...

Problem Description:

By default MER Screen expecting to enter a ',' as a separator in the amount field. Is there any setting in FTM to change to amount format to include '.' instead of ',' e.g. MERVA 100.00 ; FTM 100,00

Reply from Support:

Currently , there is no configuration to change the separator amount with comma sign as FTM follow the validation rule with SWIFT.

This is a work as design of FTM MER. And no rule said MER must be 100% the same as Merva's behavior .

Please let us know if there is any concern or business impact with this.
