Security Import for Transactions

Work in Progress

The implementation of GTNet is not yet complete. This documentation describes the planned and partially implemented functionality.

When importing transactions, the associated security may sometimes be missing from the local instance. Without a linked security, the import position cannot be converted into a transaction. The GTNet Security Import provides an efficient solution: Missing securities are automatically queried from other GTNet instances and created with all metadata, data connectors, and asset classes.

Workflow

The following diagram shows how missing securities are supplemented via GTNet during transaction import:

    B --> C{Security exists?}

    C -->|No| E["Create GTNet import from missing securities"]
    E --> F[GTNet lookup as background job]
    F --> G[Securities created/linked]
    G --> H[Automatic assignment to import positions]
    H --> D

Prerequisites

The following conditions must be met to use this feature:

  • At least one import position with a missing security exists.
  • The import position contains an ISIN or ticker/symbol for identification.
  • A currency is specified in the import position.
  • The user has access to the GTNet network (at least one reachable peer instance).

Invoking the Function

The function is accessed via the context menu of the import position:

  1. Navigate to the Transaction import view in the relevant securities account.
  2. Select one or more import positions without an assigned security.
  3. Open the context menu and select Create GTNet import from missing securities.
  4. In the appearing dialog, you can either select an existing import set or create a new one.
  5. After confirmation, a background job is started that queries the GTNet peers.

After the GTNet Lookup

Once the background job is complete:

  • The found securities are automatically created or linked to existing ones.
  • The original import positions are automatically linked to the new securities.
  • The view must be manually refreshed to see the changes.
Background Job

The GTNet lookup runs as a background job. The current view is not automatically updated. To check the status, use the Background Jobs in the system menu.

GTNet Security Import Tab

After triggering the GTNet lookup, you can switch to the GTNet Security Import tab to track the progress and details of the import. There you will see:

  • The created import set with all positions
  • The linking status of each position
  • Any import gaps if certain configurations could not be transferred

For detailed information on managing import sets and interpreting import gaps, see the GTNet Security Import Documentation.
