Single Security Entry

The following fields are mandatory to cause acceptance of a Federal Reserve Note entry in NCIC: message key, originating agency identifier, type, serial number, denomination, issuer, owner, security date, date of theft, and originating agency case number.

The agency entering the record must account for all fields in the “Securities File--Record Format.” Ensure that all available data called for by the record format are entered when the original entry is made.  Missing data obtained at a later time should be promptly added through the use of a “modify” message.
