In the Position Viewer workspace, the Cash object displays cash activity from both a traded and a settled perspective. Most trading activity (excluding free Receives/Delivers) results in cash movement that you can validate and use for research.

To view cash activity for a specific position:

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Reports > Position Viewer.
    You see the Position Viewer workspace.

  2. Select the position you want to view.

  3. In the Reports list, select Cash Position - Asset Currency.
    You see the tabs that apply to the Cash object.

    Position Viewer - Cash tabs

  4. Select a tab, or if you cannot see all the tabs at once, you can: 
    - Click the down arrow at the left of the tabs to show a list of available tabs, and then select the tab you want to view.
    - Click the left/right arrows at the right of the tabs to move forward or backwards through the tabs, and then select the tab you want to view. 
    When there is viewable activity for a specific tab, Data Loaded (green circle) appears next to the tab name to indicate that data is available. If the system did not yet check whether data is available, a question mark appears next to the tab name until you click the tab.

  5. Click a row to view the entire contents of that row.

Examples - Cash Object

In the following Cash object example, after you select an asset and select the Cash Position - Asset Currency option, there are two cash lots for the selected position. They have a status of TRADED. Once these two trades are settled, the Cash object displays additional rows with a Status column value of SETTLED. As with the Cost object, several tabs display data if there is particular activity available. For example, the Cancel Receipts tab is blank if there are no cancelled receipts for the position. The following figure shows the Cash object with rows that have a status of both TRADED and SETTLED.

Position Viewer - Disbursements tab

The Position Viewer functions differently for CASH securities than it does for other security types. There is no Cost object data for CASH. For example, when you select the US Dollar position, the Cost object is empty, but the position data in the upper pane displays a TRADED cash balance. See the following figure.

When you select the Cash object for the US Dollar position, there is detail for receipts of TRADED Cash.

Upon settlement of the contribution, a SETTLED row is displayed in the Cash object for the US Dollar position.Â
