The Confirmation messages are used to provide individual trade level confirmations from the sell side to the buy side. In versions of FIX prior to version 4.4, this role was performed by the allocation message. Unlike the allocation message, the confirmation message operates at an allocation account (trade) level rather than block level, allowing for the affirmation or rejection of individual confirmations.
This message is also used to report back, confirm or exception, the booking status of each allocation instance. When the buy-side, in response, "affirms" with the ConfirmationAck message, the trade is ready to settle.
