Performance improvements

We made performance improvements when opening the customer overview.

ISO 20022 Debit Payments - added validation

We added validation for currencies so that custody and withdrawals are the same. We will not be able to create a file where the currency of the withdrawal is something other than the base currency of the custody account that the withdrawal order is linked to since it is not supported by many custodians.

Fee Management - Separate buy and sell fees with maximum and minimum amounts

We have extended the functionality in the internal add-on Fee Management so you can separate only to have buy or sell fees. There is also a possibility to set a maximum amount on fees in percentage so the customers never pay more than a certain fee. Learn more.

The add-on can be ordered in our Marketplace.

Improved ticket when using a mobile device

We have improved and changed the ticket for withdrawal on the customer front when using a mobile. Supported browsers: Google Chrome (mobile + web page), Safari (mobile), Edge (web page) and Firefox (web page).

Tax Shell on Account Types

We have updated the names on the Tax Shell to make it more clear and understandable. We are using the whole name instead of an abbreviation and have also removed AF (aktiefondkonto/equity fund) and set the account types that used this to None, since there was no functionality on AF. We also set None on the account types that did not have a tax shell.

API

We have added a new property, CustodyAccountCash, in the API method for the manual execution interface. Please read our changelog to get all the information about the updates.

Fixed Issues

If you had a default fee on an instrument that is for instance 2 %, and created a sell order with a connected autogiro withdrawal order, the amount for the autogiro withdrawal was based on the current price of the instrument, not the price of when the trade order is executed. This is now fixed.

Done

Fixed Issues

The organization number was not in the CSV export when exporting data from the list of Companies under User Management. This is now fixed. (BB-2246, Support-8089)

There was a crash in the job or processing recurring orders when doing trades in amount with fees on the instrument and using the NFM order route. The orders were not created after the autogiro orders were finished, so the customer had to handle the orders manually. We have now fixed this bug. (BB-2360, Support-8268, Appalerts-5955)

Reserve assets for placed and filled trade orders

The majority of the customers in corporate finance firms, don´t have cash in their accounts when the trade order is placed and filled. We have therefore added the possibility to reserve assets on individual manual buy orders in status Placed and Filled. The functionality is also available when multi-handling manual orders. The reservation will be connected to the order and will be removed automatically when the order is done.

API

We have added support for external account type BIC/IBAN in the method CreateWithdrawalCashOrder

Please read our changelog to get all the information about which API methods have been updated.

Fixed Issues

When you click on the CSV export under the section Client Transactions you get an error page/message. This is now fixed. (BB-2306, Support-8238)

Creating a withdrawal (both when using the Domestic bank - and Bangiro as an external account) with the method CreateWithdrawalCashOrder there were two reservations created on the customer. (BB-2257, BSS-18571, BSS-18030)

New setting for default custody account for cash on manual order route

Some of our customers have several bank accounts for the same currency and therefore need to use several custody accounts in Bricknode Broker. It is now possible to set a default custody account for cash on the manual execution interface. The default custody account for the currency will be used if this field is empty.

When managing the orders in bulk there is a possibility of changing the default custody account (cash and instrument), counterparty, and counterparty account. We have added a new section under Accounts in the fill ticket. You can override default values here by checking the checkboxes. The values will be used for all the selected orders. If you leave the fields blank, values from the instrument or currency will be used.

Mass managing of orders from the Instrument view

You can now select several orders and manage them in bulk from the order tab on the Instrument view (Stocks). This means you can fill and settle multiple orders at once, saving considerable time compared with handling these individually. This functionality has only been available from Manual Orders. Learn more.

Select which tabs to be visible on the instrument view

You can now select which tabs should be visible on the instrument view. Greyed-out options are controlled by add-ons and can therefore not be selected.

Summary and Statistics for manual and subscription orders

The totals are calculated in the subscription order list.

We have added a statistic tab in all instrument views. That will show different sections depending on what type of orders have been made.

Added overview tabs for subscription and manual orders. Order Management> Overview.

New Instrument Settings

The Instrument Warning on the dashboard shows instruments that are missing a price, i.e. price is 0. In some situations, some instruments are supposed to have a price of 0. We have therefore added a new setting where you can ignore this warning. You will also find this setting when editing the instrument. Learn more.

You can also decide not to show the section Instrument Settings. To change the board simply drag and drop the objects. Learn more.

We have also added a CSV export and the possibility to change pages.

New setting for adding logotype in the web browser

We have added a new setting under System Data for adding logotype in the browser tab.

New settings for the Subscription Order ticket

You can now select the values you want to be remembered/saved in the Subscription Order ticket. If these are marked the ticket will remember the last used value in the ticket, for example, if you uncheck reserve asset, the next time you open the ticket this checkbox will be unchecked.

Edit Custody Account on withdrawal orders

It is now possible to edit the Custody Account on withdrawal orders, by clicking on the action menu on the account and clicking Edit.

Improvements in Corporate Actions

It is now possible to correct an executed corporate action event. The batch will get status corrected and all transactions will be corrected automatically both on the customers and the house.

Currency exchange orders created in connection with Corporate Action events will be batched separately from other currency exchange orders. The batch order will get an extra button with a C. If you click the C you will get to the connected corporate action.

If we want to cancel the Currency Exchange Batch Order connected to a corporate action we will need to correct the whole corporate action.

The add-on Fund Rebate - can now be used for all instruments in Bricknode Broker

Other instrument types than funds can issue rebates back to the investors and we have therefore enabled this functionality for all instrument types.

MFEX

We are now saving the EOD price file from MFEX to be able to exactly know what MFEX is sending which can help when troubleshooting, for example. The file is saved under the file area on the house.

Moved the BIC field to the User section

We have moved BIC to the section User under the Detail tab which means you only have to enter it in one place, previously you could enter BIC under both the section Counterparty and Custodian.

API

It has been possible to create switch orders without buy orders (AllocationItems) through CreateSwitchOrders in API, which caused a later problem in the system where the switch order got stuck. We have now added a constraint so that the property AllocationItems must contain at least one item (buy order).

Please read our changelog to get all the information about which API methods have been updated.

Expanded options when editing a subscription order

We have added more options when editing a subscription order. There is now a possibility to edit the quantity/nominal amount in the subscription order. It is common to change quantity/amount due to either lack of cash, so the customer needs to buy less, or that the customer has been allocated fewer shares than they wanted. Learn more.

Depersonalize Messages, Tasks, and Notes

Use the menu option, Depersonalize, to hide or disguise sensitive personal information, like personal/org.no, name. This functionality can, for example, be used when taking screenshots. This functionality is now also working on messages, tasks, and notes.

Limitations in the add-on Switch Orders

It is now only possible to do switch orders between funds and only when the funds are in the same currency (from and to).

We have added new messages:
“Using switch orders to switch between funds that are traded in different currencies is currently not available. Please first sell the first fund and then enter a new buy order for the second fund (conducting any currency exchange orders in between). Please refer to the help section for more detailed information.”

"It is only possible to do switch orders between funds"

Improved error message

We have expanded the error message that you can get when you do an action that can reverse the position, previously you only got “Transaction failed”, which made it difficult to know what was wrong.
