Background

As part of a CDM production implementation for pre-trade processes, a few additional attributes have been proposed:

• an identifier for a group of inventory records (we have an identifer for each piece of inventory i.e. each security, but not one that can be assigned to the overall group of inventory records being distributed (AvailableInventory) or requested (SecurityLocate).
• the ability to added user defined text (comments) at both the group and individual inventory record levels
• the required dividend percentages are often required for each specific inventory record

Proposal

The addition of new attributes as follows:

• identifier of type AssignedIdentifier to AvailableInventory, allowing a unique id to be assigned to a group of inventory records
• comment of type string to AvailableInventory, allowing user defined text to be assigned to a group of inventory records
• comment of type string to AvailableInventoryRecord, allowing user defined text to be assigned to a specific inventory record
• dividendTerms of type DividendTerms to AvailableInventoryRecord, allowing dividend percentages to be defined to a specific inventory record
• all these attributes will be optional i.e. cardinality (0..1)

Note: By add the attributes to AvailableInventory and AvailableInventoryRecord they will be available for both SecurityLocate and AvailableInventory types, as SecurityLocate extends AvailableInventory.

The changes will look as follows:

Compatibility

Adding new optional attributes so will be backwardly compatible
