We’re excited to introduce the latest enhancements and features in our August release. Below is a quick overview of what’s new:

SHADOW NAV ENHANCEMENTS

Shadow NAV Transaction Replication Matching:

A new process has been introduced to help manage Shadow NAV portfolios more effectively by identifying and flagging transactions that have already been included in the Administrator’s valuation. This ensures transactions are not double counted by marking them as replicated once matched to external holdings.

Shadow NAV Trade Replication Consistency Check:

A new Consistency Check helps monitor and analyse trade replication. It identifies transactions that may have been included in the Administrator’s valuation but were not automatically marked as replicated, allowing users to manually review and update them if needed.

Automatic Replication for Cash Transactions:

You can now automatically mark DEP (Deposit) and WITH (Withdrawal) transactions as replicated in Shadow NAV portfolios. To support this, a new parameter has been added to the Day Process Block DAYMARKTRADESASREPLICATED:

• UpdateReplicateStatusForDescriptors: Specify which transaction types should be marked as replicated.
• If left blank, all transactions will be marked as replicated by default.

INSTRUMENT & IMPORT ENHANCEMENTS

Improved Instrument Matching for Imports:

A standardised lookup process has been implemented to improve how instruments are matched during imports, ensuring more accurate and consistent identification.

The improvement applies to a wide range of import types, helping streamline workflows and improve data reliability.

PROCESS & WORKFLOW ENHANCEMENTS

Trade Prohibitions for Transfer Transactions:

Trade Prohibitions can now be applied to Transfer transaction types, allowing for more comprehensive control over trade activity.

Process Duration in Status Reports:

The Day Process and Pricing Process status reports now include the actual processing duration for each block. Instead of using a simple start-to-end time, the new Duration (Seconds) field reflects the total time spent processing.

This is available in:

• DP-PROCSTATUS-DS (Day Process)
• UT-PROCSTATUS-DS (Pricing Process)

A new parameter, Show batch totals only, has also been added.

Fee Payments Errors in Process Report:

The Fee Payments pricing block now displays processing errors directly in the Process Report. You can double-click an error entry to view the full message in a popup window, making it easier to investigate issues.

Triggered Reports Must Be Linked to Specific Process Steps:

To avoid performance issues, any triggered report linked to a report, report instance, or report pack must now be tied to a single process and a specific state change. If you want the same report to run in multiple steps, you must create separate triggered reports for each one. Validation has been added to the setup screen, and incorrect configurations will be flagged during upgrades.

USER EXPERIENCE ENHANCEMENTS

View-Only Access to Valuation Prices:

Users such as Internal Audit can now view instrument valuation prices without needing edit permissions. Valuation prices are visible in the grid, but cannot be changed, ensuring secure and controlled access.

Import Folder Selection in User Profile:

You can now set your default import folder directly from: System > User Interface > User Profile This allows users to manage their personal import folder settings without needing edit access to User Details.
