Stakeholder Feedback and ASX Response – Demand Reporting
Stakeholder Feedback and ASX Response
ASX values the feedback it receives from stakeholders to determine the optimal solution design for each new business requirement. As part of its stakeholder engagement process, ASX has published a summary of the feedback it has received from stakeholders from the relevant Focus Groups and ISO 20022 Technical Committee meetings on the solution design of this new functionality.
This feedback is presented in the form of a table, and lists the key topics raised by stakeholders across both forums. The table provides a summary of stakeholder feedback and ASX’s response to that feedback, highlighting where relevant the evolution of the functional specifications of each new business requirement based on stakeholder feedback and further analysis done by ASX. While ASX has considered the issues, comments and suggestions made by each impacted stakeholder, the differing and at times conflicting needs of various stakeholder groups mean that final functional specifications may not support suggestions received or retain aspects notwithstanding concerns raised.
The table does not identify any organisation or individual who raised a particular topic or question for discussion, nor does it intend to capture individual responses received from stakeholders; rather it is intended to be a summary only.

Movement and Balance Reports | Issuer Registries were supportive of the proposal for CMV, HMV, TCB, TSB reports to become unsolicited reports; requesting ASX to support ad-hoc historical request for CMV and HMV Reports Issuer Registries requested that an “end of reporting” message continue to be supported as this is a useful system trigger indicating ASX reporting is complete.

Projected Reporting | CHESS currently provides reports on the morning of settlement (‘S’) pertaining to projections for Batch Settlement:
ASX sought feedback from members of the Technical Committee and ESPPSC to ascertain whether these reports are utilised by members and should be carried forward to CHESS Replacement. It was noted that if settlement instructions are received between ‘S’ start of day and actual batch settlement, the projections carried in these reports are no longer accurate. Technical committee members noted that the Projected Cum Entitlement Position, Projected Funds Obligation and Projected Holding Position reports are not used can can be de-scoped. ESPPSC members advised that while there may be changes to the projected figures, the rationale for the reports remains, with members noting that the Participant Funds Notification and Payment Provider Funds Notification reports are used for cash projections, liquidity management and exception handling processes and should be retained. | As a result of the feedback, ASX will provide the following messages in ISO 20022 form in the CHESS Replacement system:
