FIX 4.4 : Allocation Instruction Ack <P> message

Structure | Related Messages

Description

In versions of FIX prior to version 4.4, this message was known as the Allocation ACK message.

The Allocation Instruction Ack <P> message is used to acknowledge the receipt of and provide status for an Allocation Instruction <J> message.

The status is indicated by the AllocStatus <87> field as follows:

AllocStatus <87> value

Description

3 = received, not yet processed

Used to acknowledge receipt of an Allocation Instruction <J> message. This should always be followed by a second Allocation Instruction Ack <P> of status 0, 1 or 2 as follows or an Allocation Report <AS> message.

0 = accepted

The Allocation Instruction <J> has been validated and processed successfully.

1 = block level reject

The entire Allocation Instruction <J> has been rejected. The AllocRejCode <88> (88) field must be populated when performing a block level reject; this gives the reason for rejecting the Allocation Instruction <J>.

2 = account level reject

The Allocation Instruction <J> has been validated and one or more of the AllocAccount <79> details in the NoAllocs <78> repeating group has failed validation (e.g. account not found). In this case, it is possible (though not mandatory) to include a list of the AllocAccount <79> details that failed validation together with reject reasons.

For an Allocation Instruction Ack <P> message with AllocStatus <87> of 'Accepted' in response to an Allocation Instruction <J> with AllocType <626> of 'Calculated', it is recommended that the MatchStatus <573> field be used to denote whether any financial details provided in the 'Calculated' Allocation Instruction <J> were matched by the Respondent. If a match takes place and succeeds, then the match status will be '0-Compared and affirmed'. If the match takes place and fails, or no match takes place, then the match status will be '1-Uncompared or unaffirmed'.
