Section 5: Cross-cutting requirements

5.1.8 Change of eligibility verification from recommended to required

5.2.3 Inclusion of the recommended requirements for reporting services into cross-cutting requirements:

  • The data store will be write-only from the core service and should be read-only by external components (RECOMMENDED)

  • The data model on the reporting data store can be different from the internal operational data models that the switch uses (RECOMMENDED)

  • The component provided by the switch will translate internal events and internal data models to the external data store models. This component can be replaced (RECOMMENDED)

Section 6: Functional requirements:

6.10 Removal of the "Regular and repeat payments are scheduled (REQUIRED)" from Scheduling Services as this is done outside the payments BB.
