Lot Selection Method	27	Specifies the lot selection method the system uses to relieve (sell) lots of a security held by the entity. Options include: First In First Out (FIFO). Lots acquired first are sold first. The oldest lot is sold first based on the holding date. If you set the accounting basis Cost Basis Covered Indicator field (tag 2818) to Y, unknown cost lots are relieved first. The oldest cost lot is sold first based on the holding date. Last In First Out (LIFO). Lots acquired last are sold first. The most recent lot is sold first based on the holding date. If multiple lots share the same holding date, the lot with the greatest event sequence is relieved first. The event sequence, set internally by the system, indicates the processing order of transactions within the same position. High Amortized Cost or High Cost (HCLOT). The lots with the highest current cost are sold first. The system uses current unit cost, which includes amortization for debt securities. This method relieves the lots that can generate the maximum loss or the minimal gain. Low Amortized Cost or Low Cost (LCLOT). The lots with the lowest current cost are sold first. The system uses current unit cost, which includes amortization for debt securities. This method relieves the lots that can generate the minimal loss or the maximum gain. High Original Cost (HORIG). The lots with the highest original cost are sold first. The system uses the original unit base cost of the open lots. It relieves the lots that can generate the maximum loss or the minimal gain. Low Original Cost (LORIG). The lots with the lowest original cost are sold first. The system uses the original unit base cost of the open lots. It relieves the lots that can generate the minimal loss or the maximum gain. Identified Lot (IDLOT). The specified lot or lots are sold first, which determines cost and tax implications. You can optimize this option to specific tax situations by selecting the specific lots to be sold. If you select this method, the lower pane in the panel displays lot details for each available lot, as determined by the entity's controlling basis. If no controlling basis exists, it displays lots for the primary basis. You must specify the quantity for one or more lots that you want to relieve. The total quantity you specify for the open lots must match the quantity entered for the total close. The close trade relieves the selected lots in each of the entity's accounting bases, and keeps the lot structures in sync. The system uses the lot's Orig Event ID field (tag 457) to match a single open lot in one basis to corresponding multiple open lots in another basis, as needed. This can occur for lots fractured as a result of wash sale processing. Best Tax. The lots are selected and sold with the objective of taking losses first (short term then long term) and gains last (long term then short term). Lots are sold in the following order: Short term Losses. Lots that reflect a short term loss are sold first, beginning with lots that generate the greatest short term loss down to the least short term loss. Long term Losses. Lots that reflect a long term loss are sold, beginning with lots that generate the greatest long term loss down to the least long term loss. Short term No Gains or Losses. Short term lots that reflect no gain or loss. Long term No Gains or Losses. Long term lots that reflect no gain or loss. Long Term Gains. Lots that reflect a long term gain, beginning with lots that generate the least long term gain up to the greatest long term gain. Short Term Gains. Lots that reflect a short term gain, beginning with lots that generate the least short term gain up to the greatest short term gain. Tax Advantage (TXADV). The lots with the lowest tax liability are sold first to minimize tax liability. Versus Purchases (VSP). The lots are selected and sold based on lot purchase characteristics, such as the target purchase date and the target purchase price. This option must be specified at the trade level. Pro Rata. The lots are selected and sold based on a proportionate allocation. Tax Efficiency. The lots with the lowest tax liability are sold first to minimize tax liability. The system calculates the tax liability based on the manipulation of entity level tax factors for long and short term gains, long and short term losses, and currency gains. The system also incorporates the wash sale disallowance effect and considers the overall tax implications of closing each individual lot. Modified FIFO (MFIFO). The open lots with the same original acquisition date (tag 216) as the close transaction are sold first, starting with the lots with the lowest unit cost local. If there are no open lots with the same acquisition date as the close transaction, or all same day lots have been sold, the oldest open lots are sold first based on the acquisition date. Within a single acquisition date, the lots with the lowest unit cost local are sold first.
Settlement Information
Auto Settle Trade Indicator	58	Indicates whether the system settles the trade, coupon, and miscellaneous income and expenses automatically. Options include: Yes. The system automatically settles the trade, coupon, and miscellaneous income and expenses. The system retrieves the settle date FX rate if the local currency does not equal base and generates a trade to settle date gain/loss. No. Default. The system does not automatically settle the trade, coupon, and miscellaneous income and expenses. You must schedule the settlement for these transactions using the Run Contract Cash global panel. Or, manually settle the transactions using the Run Multiple Settlements panel. NOTE: If the entity's Auto Settle Indicator field is set to Yes, as specified on the Create/Edit Entity or Create Master Fund panels, the system will create a settlement when the trade is processed. There will be no trade to settle date gain/loss. This applies even if the settlement date is in the future. Eagle recommends that you set the Auto Settle Indicator field to No for the entity and trade panels.

Trade Ticket Number	761	Contains the trade ticket identification number. The system uses it during processing. For example, IDLOT close or cancel events use this number to locate an open lot.
Regulatory Intent	8915	If you now hold the trade in an entity/accounting basis with the new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) regulatory category of Fair Value Profit Loss (FVPL) but previously held the trade in an entity/accounting basis with the old regulatory category of Fair Value Option (FVO) or Held for Trading (HFT), you can identify the old regulatory category specified for the trade at the entity/accounting basis level. You can specify a value for reporting purposes only. Options are: Fair Value Option. Indicates the trade was previously held in a regulatory category of Fair Value Option, used for instruments managed on a fair value basis. Held for Trading. Indicates the trade was previously held in a regulatory category of Held for Trading, used for instruments held with the intent of selling them.
Holding Term	9091	Specifies the holding term for the trade based on the number of days between the original acquisition date (tag 216) and the maturity date (tag 35) on the lot. If you use ledger reporting based on ledger granularity rules to break out accounts by holding term, the system uses this value to identify the holding term for trades related to bonds and preferred stocks. Eagle Accounting's core transaction processing calculates the holding term for you, but you can manually override the value displayed in this field. Eagle Insurance clients that use ledger granularity rules have the system calculate the holding term based on the schedule associated with a lot. Options include: Short Term. Identifies a short term holding. If the Holding Term Method field (tag 11479) in the trade's accounting basis has a value of 90 days, a short term holding term is 91 days to a year. If the Holding Term Method field has a value of 3 months, a short term holding term is 3 full months to a year. Cash Equivalent. Identifies a cash equivalent holding. If the Holding Term Method field (tag 11479) in the trade's accounting basis has a value of 90 days, a cash equivalent holding term is 90 days or less. If the Holding Term Method field has a value of 3 months, a cash equivalent holding term is 3 full months or less.
Pending Trade Flag	3695	Specifies whether the trade is eligible for pending trade processing prior to processing by the STAR accounting engine. If you use pending trade processing, the system can assign this value to incoming transactions that meet flagged position rule criteria. Or an incoming transaction can include this value. This field is hidden. Options include Y and N.
Pending Trade Status	3720	Specifies the trade's transaction status for pending trade processing prior to processing by the STAR accounting engine. If you use pending trade processing, the system can assign a value of Pending to incoming transactions that meet flagged position rule criteria. Or an incoming transaction can include a value of Pending or a custom pending transaction status value defined in the PEND_TRD_STATUS code category. The default status is Pending if no status is provided. This field is hidden.
User Defined Priority	2862	Specifies the user generated number that determines the event sub priority. That is, after the system accounts for the event sequence and corporate action sequence.
