Scope The PaymentReturn message is sent by an agent to the previous agent in the payment chain to undo a payment previously settled. Usage The PaymentReturn message is exchanged between agents to return funds after settlement of credit transfer instructions (i.e. FIToFICustomerCreditTransfer message and FinancialInstitutionCreditTransfer message) or direct debit instructions (FIToFICustomerDirectDebit message). The PaymentReturn message should not be used between agents and non-financial institution customers. Non-financial institution customers will be informed about a debit or a credit on their account(s) through an Advice of Credit/Debit message and/or Statement message. The PaymentReturn message can be used to return single instructions or multiple instructions from one or different files. The PaymentReturn message can be used in domestic and cross-border scenarios. The PaymentReturn message refers to the original instruction(s) by means of references only or by means of references and a set of elements from the original instruction. .
Message Construction
Every ISO20022 message has at the highest level what we call ‘building blocks’. Because the message is constructed as immutable records, the association is by composition. Below you can see the relationship between the message and its constituent building blocks: For comparison, see the ISO20022 official specification

Now, we will zero-in one-by-one on each of these building blocks.

Extensibility and generalization considerations
To facilitate generalized design patterns in the system, the PaymentReturnV01 implementation follows a specific implementaiton pattern. First of all, PaymentReturnV01 impleemnts IOuterRecord indicating it is the outermost logical part of the message definition. Like all message wrappers, PaymentReturnV01Document implements IOuterDocument. Because PaymentReturnV01 implements IOuterDocument, it is a suitable template parameter for IOuterDocument, and causes the internal ‘Message’ to be of type PaymentReturnV01.
classDiagram class IOuterRecord PaymentReturnV01 --|> IOuterRecord : Implements PaymentReturnV01Document --|> IOuterDocument~PaymentReturnV01~ : Implements class IOuterDocument~PaymentReturnV01~ { PaymentReturnV01 Message }
Document wrapper for serialization
The only real purpose PaymentReturnV01Document serves is to cause the document to be serialized into the ‘urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pacs.004.001.01’ namespace. Therefore, it will probably be the usual practice to build the message and construct this wrapper at the last minute using PaymentReturnV01.ToDocument() method. The returned PaymentReturnV01Document value will serialize correctly according to ISO 20022 standards.
