Clearing Connectivity Standard (CCS) - Final Summary Report, Locked as of 3/15/13. This specification contains the proposed format for transferring OTC Clearing related account and margin information between Clearing Brokers and outsourced service providers. Current scope is IRS and CDS for LCH and CME only. Notes to coding / interpreting the CCS Summary Report CSV file: 1) Row Type : rows start with a single letter to identify what type of data they contain: c - > Comment: indicates that the row contains "comments", rather than data. Convenient when imported into a spreadsheet, ignore this row when parsing a file programmatically. Use of comments is optional. h - > Header: indicates that the row contains field names. Data items in rows under the header row must correspond to the sequence of field names laid out in the header row. d - > Data: indicates that the row contains recorded data corresponding to fields as defined in the Header row. Data records are repeated as needed and are terminated by a blank record or a new header. 2) The second column of each report identifies the type of information that each row contains, in order to distinguish between data sections. For example, SUMMARY HEADER and SUMMARY DATA indicate whether the information listed at right is a header or data row, and that it belongs to the Summary report. Marking rows in this manner makes them independent of the file context, and thus sections can be combined into as few or as many files as desired. 3) The third column of each report, "Row ", references columns where multi- row differentiating data may be found. Several columns may be indicated, separated by :, indicating multiple levels of sub groupings with subtotals. For example, "Client Account ID:Clearing House:Account Local " indicates rows with multiple local currencies held at multiple CCPs under the same account. Client Account ID, Sub Account, Clearing House and Account Local are typical candidates for subtotaling; while columns may be included or not according to client needs, note that an Account identifier is required. For examples, see the Sample Data tab of this workbook, or the Summary Report Sample Data.csv file. 4) The final section of the report entitled "TO BE SETTLED", contains fields that indicate expected payments. These fields are marked as optional because they are mutually exclusive and users may choose which ones to use based on client payment preference. There are three payment options, as follows, note that it is mandatory to select one:
a) Single net payment - this will be recorded in the "Total Daily Payment " column. See row 6 in the Sample Data tab. b) Two payments - this is for clients that want to send a net of IM, VM, and coupon/interest payments in the "Net IM/VM Payment " column, with a separate commissions payment in the "Commissions Payment " column. See row 5 in the Sample Data tab. c) Three payments - if the client wants to pay IM ("IM Payment " column), VM netted with coupon/interest payments ("Net VM Payment " column) and commissions ("Commissions Payment " column) separately. See row 4 in the Sample Data tab. Note that the "Other Payment" column can be used to send a separate additional miscellaneous payment with options b and c above. 5) Note that the can be applied to varying timing and/or frequencies for complete or partial feeds; such variations must be discussed and agreed between the parties. Field Name Format Description Notes HEADER Row Data description field that indicates what type of information each row contains, as well as which report the data corresponds to. For example, SUMMARY HEADER appears in the Summary Report, with subsequent lines labeled SUMMARY DATA. Indicates column order of nested data occurring in multiple lines, separated by ":". This provides a unique key for sub groupings and subtotal lines. Note that columns so indicated should contain "NET" on lines that contain the net of their values. As Of Date YYYY- MM- DD Close of business on cut off date This is to distinguish Summary type rows from Details & Positions rows and Daily Activity rows as per the full version of the CCS specification. For example, the Details & Positions Report, this would be DETAILS HEADER, followed by DETAILS DATA, etc. For more information, see note #2 on the Coversheet tab.
