Overview

In some markets, it is common to reissue new securities using a recycled cross reference identifier (Xreference ID), such as the CUSIP, ISIN, SEDOL, etc. This document describes how to reuse Xref IDs in Eagle Accounting and Data Management. This will allow you to reuse Primary Asset ID (14), Alternate Asset ID (1795), or any other Xreference ID.

Inactive Flag

One Security

The Inactive Flag (11043) on a security master file (SMF) allows you to reuse the 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.

1. Open the security master file (SMF) in Issue Viewer or Reference Data Center
2. Set Inactive Flag = Yes
3. Save the security

Multiple Securities

There is also an event that can be run manually or scheduled to automatically set Inactive Flag = Yes based on each security's Maturity Date (38) or Dated Date (1183) and a specified lag. Use Auto Inactive Securities to trigger the event manually.

• Auto Inactive Securities Based On (1257): Maturity Date is the default, Dated Date is only used for TBAs with Processing Security Type (3931) = DBTATA
• Maturity Date (38) or Dated Date (1183): one or the other is required based on the previous field
  • Must be prior to current day
  • This would typically be set to yesterday's date when scheduled to run daily, in conjunction with an appropriate lag
• Exclude Securities Based On Position (1256): you can exclude securities that have accounting positions (Star Position), data management positions (Pace Position), or Both
• The following fields can be used to limit the scope of the event if you do not want it to run for your full universe of securities:
  • Investment Type (11)
  • Processing Security Type (3931)
  • Security Type (82)
• Auto Inactive days from Maturity Date/Dated Date (1567): specifies the lag in calendar days before putting a security into inactive status
  • When the event is triggered, it counts backwards using this field, inclusive of Maturity Date or Dated Date

  • For example, the results of submitting the event with Maturity Date = 2/2/2022 and a lag of 30 days are shown below

    Security	Maturity Date	Result
    Bond A	1/2/2022	Inactive
    Bond B	1/3/2022	Inactive
    Bond C	1/4/2022	Inactive
    Bond D	1/5/2022	Active
    Bond E	1/14/2022	Active

Workaround

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

1. When a new SMF needs to be set up using the same identifier(s), you must edit the old 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 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 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 SMF with the market Primary Asset ID, Xref IDs, and Issue Name
