[original email was from Eric Gottesman - [eric@agentidea.com](mailto:eric@agentidea.com) ]  
Yet another question regarding ClOrdID in execution reports for FIX 4.0.

New Order Single working:  
ClOrdID = X

Cancel request:  
ClOrdID = Y, OrigClOrdID = X

Execution report (OrdStatus=pending cancel):  
ClOrdID = ? (I think it should be X)

Execution report (OrdStatus=canceled):  
ClOrdID = X

Some of the 4.0 documentation refers to an OrdStatus=“New” for ClOrdID=Y, but this doesn’t  
make as much sense, especially having knowledge of  
FIX 4.1/4.2. Is their general agreement or “best practices” with regards to this issue?  
Thanks,

This is discussed in the "FIX 4.0 Orderflow Clarification" document which can be found in the Specifications/Drafts section of this website.

I know the document recommends sending the execution report with ordstatus = NEW and ClOrdID = Y, but if you are implementing this, I would recommend making the response configurable by TargetCompID because some firms might require the  
pending cancel message but not be able to handle the NEW message and vica versa.
