1.4 Process FCIS IPO Units Override
This topic provides the systematic instruction to override allocated units for IPO transactions.
In the Transaction Processing Rules for a fund, the maximum issue size applicable for IPO transactions in a fund is defined. This limit is a restriction on the total order value for IPO transactions. The IPO allocation process validates whether the maximum issue size limit is exceeded by the total order value.
When the total order value is below the maximum issue size, the number of units allocated for a transaction is the same as the number of units applied, that is, all orders will be fully allocated. When the total order value exceeds the maximum issue size, the orders are allocated based on the ratio of maximum issue size to total order value.
In expression,
Quantity allotted = Quantity applied * (Maximum issue size / Total order value)For such situations, the system provides an override, where you can specify the allocable units as against the applied units. You can specify this override in the FCIS IPO Units Override screen.
