Cancel an Equity Method Trade

In the Cancel Equity Method Trade panel, you can cancel a single trade that uses the equity method of accounting. The panel allows you to cancel equity method transactions, including open (MTOPEN/EMAOPEN, MTOPEN/ECCONV)) and close (MTCLOSE/EMACLOSE) transactions for equity method positions, as well as adjustment (MTADJUST/EMAADJUST) transactions.

The Cancel an Equity Method Trade panel differs from the panels in core STAR accounting that you use to cancel a single trade or a batch of trades, such as the Cancel Trade panel, the Batch Cancel Trade panel, and the Cancel & Rebook Trade workspace. If a position uses the equity method of accounting for any accounting basis, you must use the Cancel an Equity Method Trade panel to cancel transactions for the position.

To cancel a trade for a position that uses the equity method of accounting:

In the Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Transactions > Equity Method > Cancel Trade > Cancel Equity Method Trade.
You see the Cancel Equity Method Trade panel.
Under Entity Information, select the entity for the transaction you want to cancel.
Under Issue Information, select the security for the transaction you want to cancel.
You can search for the security by Issuer Name/Xref ID/Ticker, Event ID, and Target Trade Ticket Number. The lookups allow you to select a security held by the selected entity.
Under Cancel Trade Detail Information, in the Choose Trade to Cancel box, select the transaction you want to cancel.
The lookup displays all trades booked for the selected entity/security.
In the Cancel Monthly Accounting Date field, you can modify the accounting date.
Complete the remaining options on the Cancel Equity Method Trade panel.
Click Submit.
