Allocation is the operation of sending a executed trades to the back office.

The Allocation specifies how trades should be split among different customers and portfolios.

The process of allocating has been improved. In the current version of Kodiak OMS you are only able to allocate Client Orders.

You can now allocate Client Orders, Market Orders and individual Trades.

Business Rules

Any trade can be allocated.

Allocation fields:

Traceability

Client Orders can have many market orders and pre allocations. Market orders can have many executions.
When the OMS creates an allocation for a client order it will store a reference to the executions behind a single client order.
