The Inactive Flag (11043) on a security master file (SMF) allows you to reuse the cross reference identifiers ( Xref IDs ) from an existing security without having to delete it or change its Xref IDs. It also prevents the security from being returned for trade processing. Follow the steps below to put a security into inactive status.

If you cannot use the process described above, a manual workaround is available.

1. When a new security SMF needs to be set up using the same identifier(s), you must edit the old security SMF first
2. Verify that there are no current holdings of the old Primary Asset ID (14)
   1. This can be done using Position Viewer by selecting All Portfolios in the Query Based On field
   2. Enter the Primary Asset ID, and all portfolios that ever traded the identifier will be returned
   3. Verify the quantity is zero for all portfolios returned
3. Change Primary Asset ID Type on the old security SMF from the current value to INTERNAL
4. Change Primary Asset ID from XXXXXXXXX to XXXXXXXXXOLD
   1. For subsequent changes use OLD2, OLD3, etc.
5. Change all other xref Xref IDs from XXXXX to XXXXXOLD
   1. For subsequent changes use OLD2, OLD3, etc.
6. Optional: change Issue Name from XXXXX to XXXXX OLD
   1. This is not required, but will make searching by Issue Name easier in the future
   2. For subsequent changes use OLD2, OLD3, etc.
7. Save changes
   1. Historical information can be accessed using the Security Alias, revised Primary Asset ID (XXXXXXXXXOLD), revised xref IDs (XXXXXOLD), or revised Issue Name (XXXXX OLD)
8. Add the new security SMF with the market Primary Asset ID, xref Xref IDs, and Issue Name
