Standard Solution January 2024 - Release notes
Released: February 1st, 2024
The Standard Solution January 2024 release introduces several smaller improvements in existing features as well as fixes.
Other improvements
Tax reporting
The Swedish tax report KU31 was updated to incorporate rebates/kickbacks. This information is now reported in field 504.
Reporting
In the Positions report, the Finnish translation for the Purch. unit pr. column was changed from “Hinta/kpl” to “Hankintahinta/kpl” to clarify the meaning.
The Costs - Ex-post cost and charges report now has a new column that shows the effect of costs and charges on return in the portfolio currency. This makes the effect clearer and more similar to the Costs - Ex-ante costs and charges report.
To make reports clearer to users, updates and translations were made to the following column titles: Realized profits, Capital gains, Performance, Performance and value history, Realized and unrealized profits with accrued interest and contribution to TWR, Realized profits in currency, Realized and unrealized profits with accrued interest V2, Realized and unrealized profits V2, and Realized and unrealized profits with currency profit.
Portfolio management
The option to mass-adjust trade orders (Modify trade orders → Mass-adjust trades option at the bottom of the Trade orders view) now shows the trade order reference number. This is useful when you need to match your trades with external information and manually adjust the status and settlement date of multiple trade orders after their execution.
Trade order management
The bulk order execution process can now distribute not only cost 1 and cost 2 but also tax 1 and tax 2. This is useful if you need to allocate stamp duty to all underlying clients.
Reconciliation
Users can now perform cash reconciliation with CAMT.053 files (end-of-day bank statement) in addition to files in the FA and MT940 formats. For more information, see Reconciling cash accounts in FA User guide.
Payments
For reconciling deposits and withdrawals, we added a reader for CAMT.054 files. For more information, see Reconciling deposits and withdrawals with CAMT.053/4 and PAIN.002 in FA User guide.
Users can now send PAIN.001 files to DNB or domestic PAIN.001 files to SEB using the new ISO 20022 PAIN.001 (DNB and SEB Domestic) payment method. The payment method is in Tools → Administer → Bank and Custody Connections → Payment Material for DNB and SEB.
Accounting
Bookkeeping configurations in the Tools → Administer → Bookkeeping section were revised because the bookkeeping posting logic was moved to the core product. Users can now also make adjustments to deferral configurations. For more information, see Configure deferrals in FA User guide.
Corporate actions
We added a new standard transaction type Paydown that you can use for partial redemptions before maturity or partial donations in Norway that reduce each purchase lot relatively. For more information, see Transaction types for security transactions in FA User guide.
Utilities
We added a Close button to the Decision table administration window. Users can now close the window without reloading the rules.
Fixes
Payments
In Preference, users can now see the Payments-processing tag that is used in the outgoing payment process flow.
Tax reporting
In the Finnish tax report VSRKOERI, the beneficiary's date of birth is now filled in when Type of beneficiary (086) is set to 2.
In the Finnish tax report VSRKOERI, field 083 is no longer included in the file if empty.
In the Finnish tax report VSAPUUSE, values are no longer incorrectly reported in the portfolio currency despite the configurations set to always report in EUR.
In the Swedish tax report KU30, the XML file and Client report (PDF) no longer display different values.
The Swedish tax report KU20 now excludes transactions with the Deleted status and includes transactions with a settlement date within the reporting year.
Swedish tax reporting now incorporates a null check.
The Norwegian tax API no longer fails to retrieve configuration values from the administration profile.
The acquisition filtering process in the Norwegian tax report Verdipapirfond now includes transferred gift/heritage transactions in the report. Gift/heritage transactions with a transaction date in the history and a booked date in the reporting period are now filtered out, enhancing the precision of the report.
External reporting
Durations from the portfolio SIRA/PEF profile are now interpreted as numbers instead of strings to prevent errors.
The liability code in SIRA/NAV reporting now works for all transaction codes.
Portfolio management
The rebalance templates process no longer generates unnecessary log entries.
Accounting
The bookkeeping export no longer displays large numbers in scientific notation.
Utilities
The scheduled autohealer process that checks for missing portfolio positions now works when the nightly report update time is specified in the H:mm format instead of the HH:mm format. A new configuration parameter Autoheal recalculation length allows users to specify the number of days for the autohealer to trigger recalculation. This improves control and flexibility in managing autohealing events.
