General
The system includes a set of fields required for the EMIR reporting. The fields are available on four levels: System, Company (Legal entities and counterparties), Instrument and Transaction. For each field there is a description at the bottom of the parameters form that displays the information given in the EMIR specification document.
There is also a report in the Middle office menu called Emir report. The report is in csv format and contains all the information needed to be EMIR compliant. You can choose to report Internal deals only from CRM or also External deals.
The Emir functionality is a supplementary module that requires a separate license.
Legal entity identifier
You need to apply for a Legal entity identifier (LEI) for yourselves and all the subsidiaries (banks also if reporting external deals) that are subject for reporting. This can be done for example from https://www.ciciutility.org
System parameters
Activate EMIR functionality in the Set up menu / System parameters by setting Parameter ‘Report’ to Yes.
Enter dates in fields ‘Deal Date from’ and 'Maturity date'. Transactions matching these date selections will be included in the report.
Field ‘Tr repository’ is a free text field.
Choose if Internal, External or both should be reported.
File format decides format. Two different formats are available. EMIR-ate specific format and a default format. Enter text 'EMIR-ate' = format adapted to company EMIR-ate. Fully automation of the process possible. Any other text entered means that a default layout will be used not adapted to any specific repository.
'Is UTI required', Should UTI (Unique trade id) be mandatory for external deals? On internal deals the UTI is set automatically in the report.
'Last report date', Date fro the latest report.
'Mark as exported', Yes means that new transactions are flagged as exported and can only be reported once. No could be used when testing the report before going live, meaning that the same transaction can be reported several times.
'Number of days', Default zero, transactions with deal date today ore lower reported. If set to '-1 for example, Deals with deal date up to yesterday reported. This means that deals are reported with one day delay.
Note! The ‘Report' parameter (Yes/No) is available on all levels so it is possible to include/exclude a certain counterpart, instrument or transaction from being reported.

Trading id - CFI code
All variables in the Deal input form are defaulted except the Trading id and in some special cases the CFI code.
For internal transactions CRM will automatically create an Trading id. For external transaction this field has to be filled in separately. If FX trades are downloaded from a Trading Station the Trading ID (UTI) can be delivered in the import. The UTI can also be delivered via Finastra (Misys) matching system.
The CFI codes are automatically generated for instruments that the system has support for. In special cases the CFI code can be entered manually on the transaction.
