Is it possible to send a post trade allocation before an order has been fully filled? If so what is the standard of dealing with this, would one reject it untill the order has been completed for the day?

Yes. It’s possible to send a post trade allocation as it is not mandatory that all orders are fully filled. You do have cases of partial fills quite often.
As a norm, all the allocation details are sorted out by the Trade Processing/BackOffice team ONLY after the trade ticket has been generated/posted by the trader(implies that the trader generates the trade ticket only on knowing that the order is going to be fully executed or partially executed).

You can get more details by reviewing the Allocation Implementation guide posted at:
http://www.fixprotocol.org/documents/950/FAWG_44_Implementation_Guide_07.pdf

Below is an excrept from the document:

Allocations can be communicated by the Initiator in three different ways:

  1. Pre-allocated order – in this option the Initiator would communicate the allocation within the New Order message when the order is placed with the Respondent.

  2. Pre-trade allocation – in this option the Initiator would communicate the allocation to the Respondent in a separate message using the Allocation Instruction message. This message is sent after the order is placed with the Respondent but before execution is completed by the Respondent.

  3. Post-trade allocation – in this option the Initiator would communicate the allocation to the Respondent in a separate message using the Allocation Instruction message after the trade has been completed by the Respondent.

Note the use of options 1 and 2 lend themselves best to scenarios where the average price and executed quantity can be agreed up front (e.g. principal trades) or where the allocation account details need to be communicated prior to execution in certain markets (e.g. for regulatory reasons).
