Settlement Instructions  (MsgType = T)

The Settlement Instructions (T) message provides the broker's, the institution's, or the intermediary's instructions for trade settlement. The SettlInstSource (165) field indicates if the settlement instructions are the broker's, the institution's, or the intermediary'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 or, for CIV, from an intermediary to a fund manager.

The Settlement Instructions (T) message can be used in one of three modes ( SettlInstMode (160) ):

  1. To provide "standing instructions" for the settlement of trades occurring in the future, messages should include some combination of.
  2. 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 (J) message.

    ( TradeDate (75) + AllocID (70) + AllocAccount (79) )

  3. To provide settlement instructions for a specific Order with a single account either as overriding or standing instructions to support matching. The ClOrdID (11) field should be used to link the settlement instructions to the corresponding Order message.

    See VOLUME 7 - "PRODUCT: COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT VEHICLES"

The Settlement Instruction detail can be either explicitly specified (via SecuritySettl* and CashSettl* fields) or can exist within an independent standing instructions database and can be referenced via the StandInstDbType (169) , StandInstDbName (170) , and StandInstDbID (171) fields.
