Entity Build Process

This section explains how the Entity Build process generates data for derived entities. Some entities require an Entity Build process. These entities include:

Composite entities (COMP entity type)
Aggregate entities (AGG entity type)
Sub-portfolios (SUB entity type)

Each of these entities involves the combining of positions from different portfolios. In addition, sub-portfolio entities allow for the creation of cash activity records. The Entity Build process defines how the system combines the positions in these portfolios to create the new composite, aggregate, or sub-portfolio. Thus it is a rollup of position-level data into one or more composites, aggregates, or sub-portfolios.
