    SettlementInstructions (T)

    ID28
    PedigreeAdded FIX.4.1

    The Settlement Instructions message provides either the broker’s or the institution’s instructions for trade settlement. The SettlInstSource field indicates if the settlement instructions are the broker’s or the institution’s. This message has been designed so that it can be sent from the broker to the institution, from the institution to the broker, or from either to an independent “standing instructions” database or matching system.

    The Settlement Instructions message can be used in one of two modes (SettlInstMode):

    1. To provide “standing instructions” for the settlement of trades occurring in the future, messages should include some combination of.
    • AllocAccount
    • LastMkt
    • Side
    • SecurityType
    • SettlLocation
    • SettlDeliveryType
    • EffectiveTime
    1. To provide settlement instructions for a specific Allocation Account either as overriding or standing instructions to support matching. The following key should be used to tie the settlement instructions to the corresponding Allocation message.

      (TradeDate + AllocID + AllocAccount)

    The Settlement Instruction detail can be either explicitly specified (via SecuritySettl* and CashSettl* fields) or can exist on within an independent standing instructions database and can be referenced via the StandInstDbType, StandInstDbName, and StandInstDbID fields.
