1.17 Impact of Propagation

This topic provides information on impact on the following processes due to data propagation.

Load Computation

There can be a difference in the load computed after propagation and the original load computation if:

• the load is unit based and there has been an increase (or decrease) in the number of units due to propagation
• the outflow is linked to an inflow and the exit load is based on a period

Dividend Reinvestments

These will differ if transactions have been wrongly entered initially. During propagation, the system will pick up the balance based on the correct information entered and generate the dividend re-investment transactions. This calculation will however be based on the original IDS for the unit holder, that is, the IDS maintained at the time of initial processing.

Ageing (FIFO) Units

If there has been a change in the allocation status of a transaction, the system will consider only the original allocation status of a transaction during data propagation. For instance, if the original allocation status of a transaction is Provisional and subsequently the status changes to Confirmed, while reiterating the transactions, the system will consider the status as Provisional and carry out the calculations accordingly.

Linked Transactions Processing

For linked transactions, where an inflow transaction that is linked to an outflow transaction is being modified, the system will check if the outflow transaction is affected due to data propagation. If it is, the outflow transaction will not be generated.
