Standard Solution September 2024 - Release notes

Released: September 30th, 2024

The Standard Solution September 2024 release introduces many smaller improvements and fixes.

Other improvements

Tax reporting 

  • We improved the performance of Norwegian tax reporting so it runs significantly faster. There is now also an option to run the reports in the background, and we made the user task title more descriptive in the task list: “<reportType> report generated <timestamp>”.

  • We improved Norwegian international tax reporting so that "Birth date" is now picked up from the FATCA profile and type from the FATCA profile is used as the primary type definition. If the type does not exist, the system uses the old logic to determine the contact type. We also added a new "None" option for the "Account holder" type in FATCA.

  • The Norwegian tax report for Verdipapirfond now utilizes the trade time field from the transaction. If the trade time is available, it is included in the XML report.

External reporting

  • Futur reporting now includes an additional configuration called "Previous reporting date" which allows you to send the report to a different party with a separate reporting frequency. Until now, this was not possible because different configuration sets shared the same "Previous reporting date".

Payments 

  • Outgoing payments now supports defining "Foreign account transfer - group transfer". For some banks such as Danske Bank, USD payments need to be classified as foreign account transfers, meaning specific details need to be included in the technical XML payment file. You can now assign the necessary payment details by defining ServiceLevel=NURG in the internal info field of the transaction.

  • Outgoing payments now has an option to bulk payments based on account numbers. Until now, payment instruction bulking could only be based on payment channel or payment channel and transaction reference.

Fixes

Market data connector 

  • Fixed an issue in Bloomberg bond mapping used for creating new securities from Bloomberg. The issue caused stub convention for bonds to be assigned incorrectly in certain scenarios.

Settlements 

  • Fixed an issue with settlement messages sometimes being sent with too many decimals in the trade amount.

External reporting 

  • Fixed an issue in SIRA/PEF reporting so that "Interest income" is now positive and "Profit distribution" is negative as required by the Bank of Finland.

Portfolio management

  • "Exercise call" and "Exercise put" transaction types for options are now linked to equity, bond and entitlements (rights) security types instead of being linked to options. These transaction types are used against the underlying security of the option instead of the option itself.

  • Fixed an issue in the mark-to-market process that prevented a second run from taking place on a given date for a portfolio if it involved a different set of securities than the first run.

Payments 

  • Fixed an issue in the investment plan editor profile for FA Front so that the system now correctly saves data to the monthly savings profile.

Utilities 

  • Fixed an issue in user count monitoring which didn't function correctly with the latest Keycloak version.
