Definition
Sent from sell-side to buy-side, sell-side to 3rd-party or 3rd-party to buy-side, the Allocation Report (Claim) provides account breakdown of an order or set of orders plus any additional follow-up front-office information developed post-trade during the trade allocation, matching and calculation phase. In versions of FIX prior to version 4.4, this functionality was provided through the Allocation message. Depending on the needs of the market and the timing of "confirmed" status, the role of Allocation Report can be taken over in whole or in part by the Confirmation message. Note the response to the Allocation Report message is the Allocation Report Ack message. In versions of FIX prior to version 4.4, the Allocation ACK served this purpose.
Message structure 351 distinct fields
Source order, including nested components and groups. Group counts precede the repeated entries. “Required here” is relative to the enclosing component or group, not unconditional in the message. A dash means not marked required; conditional requirements remain in the source notes. This is a reference, not a counterparty-specific validator.
