When an instruction is sent to a party other than the original Receiver, this original Receiver is identified in the other parties sequence as :95a::MERE (Recipient of the Message).
The underlying fund or client (:95a::INVE), must be present.
When a broker is identified as a confirming party, the party capacity (:22F::TRCA) must be specified.
When an ETC service provider transfers a message from one institution to another, and when the originator of the message is not already identified in the confirmation parties sequence or the settlement parties sequence, then the originating party is identified in the other parties sequence as :95a::MEOR (Originator of Message).
In the case of a non-allocated trade, when an order to buy or sell was executed in several parts, normally one confirmation is sent for each day of execution. Where the confirmation is sent upon the final completion of the order, the executing party may show the partial trades, listing the dates, times, quantities and prices (partial fill sequence).
The Receiver of a request to cancel must advise the requesting party that the request has been accepted or denied in an MT 509 Trade Status Message.
