To exchange electronic documents both the counterparties and the repository use a single message format - FpML. The Format Converter form is used to convert messages in a spreadsheet format or the old repository format, prepared in the third-party system, to the FpML format. The converter also allows converting the received messages from the repository in FpML to the following spreadsheet formats: CSV, CSV-bulk, XLS, DBF, the format previously used at NSD (old format). 

 To a bulk-format (see Bulk conversion of orders)to the FpML format.
