Table 1-7 Block Allocation

Block Allocation	Description
Certificate details	If the fund is scrip based or if the unit holder blocks units out of issued balance in certificate optional funds, then the certificates are marked as blocked and cannot be used for further transaction until they are unblocked. For certificate option funds, where certificates are designated as required for block transactions in the fund rules, the allocation of the block transaction will result in certificate generation.
Reflection of allocated units in the system database	If the block transaction is successfully allocated through this menu item, the changes are reflected in the following data stores in the database: The unit holder’s balance in the fund The unit holder counter updating for block transactions for the fund The fund transaction counter updating for block transactions The outstanding units for the fund Loads (fee/incentive) between the various entities (fund manager - broker, unit holder, agent, etc.) are logged Fund certificate details updating, if the transaction is scrip based If any of these counter limits is exceeded or if any of the fund rules set up at the Fund Manager are violated then an error is logged against the block transaction. Confirmation of the block transaction is made after the allocation is successfully completed.

Note:

Amendment of a block transaction is not allowed.
