Critical System Updates

Account Reconciliation Files available on FTP Server Update 2

Please note that CME Clearing has made the following update to the Account Reconciliation Reports effective immediately –

Addition of Holding Account Flag – CME Clearing has added a new column to the report entitled “Holding Account”, which indicates whether a particular account is a holding (aka bunched order) account or not. If this column is set to “Y”, then the account is a holding account. If “N”, then the account is not a holding account. Please note that whether an account is a holding account or not is configurable by RAV Admins within CME Account (RAV) Manager.
