Is there any scenario under which I might receive an Execution Report without its OrigClOrdId (Tag#41) set? I am working at making an open-source FIX Engine interoperable with our existing system and am working under the assumption that both ClOrdId and OrigClOrdId will ALWAYS be set in an Execution Report sent as confirmation of cancellation i.e., when it’s ExecType and OrdStatus tags are set to ‘Canceled’.

Regards,  
Raza

You may not always get both those tags on a Canceled response. We have seen canceled messages with OrigClOrdID only.

For an unsolicited cancel, you wont get a tag#41. Even if you do, expect it to be the same as tag#11.

For a response to a Cancel request it mandatory to send back TAG41 in Execution Report,otherwise Client Won’t be able to link the order for which he has sent the cancellation.  
Unsolicited amends are done by Broker Side so there is noe TAG41 , rather it has TAG378.

Hi all,

As per the 4.2 spec :-

“Conditionally required for response to an electronic Cancel  
or Cancel/Replace request (ExecType=PendingCancel,  
Replaced, or Canceled). ClOrdID of the previous order  
(NOT the initial order of the day) when canceling or  
replacing an order.”

So we must expect blank values for unsolicited messages. Generally, the original client order ID is required in the buy-side request messages only (Cancel and cancel/replace). but in the response its not mandatory as the same response can be triggered for various other reasons as well. The Trader / order submitter is supposed to keep track of the client order ID chain, as its generated by the the buy-side. The only identifier from the sell side is “Order ID” which is optional in buy -side requests and generally always seen in responses.

Rgds,  
Thaya.
