Typo?: The 81 value of 452(PartyRole)

The 81 value of 452(PartyRole) in fiximate is as below. Don’t know if the “cient” is a typo?

Broker cient ID Added EP68 Updated EP223 [BrokerClearingID]

Also, why “BrokerClearingID” not quite match the “Broker cient ID” ?

This has been fixed in EP271, publication will be early next week. See here for details.

@hanno.klein, Just curious - I was thought it is “Broker Client ID” as some sites states 81=Broker Client ID. Or Broker Clearing ID and “Broker clearing identifier” are the same?

@robertlau, unfortunately this happens when people copy content from the FIX website and make changes without checking with FIX, e.g. through this forum (as you are doing :slight_smile: ). The website you are referring to has also copied text from the appendix 6-G of the FIX legacy specification and provides a link to it. If you follow that link you will see:

It is the identifier of the broker used for clearing purposes. It is not the identifier for a client of a broker. The latter is covered by PartyRole(452)=3 (Client ID).

For the record: The original submission for this value to be added states that it is “broker clearing ID” NOT “broker client ID”.

Thanks @hanno.klein, @ltaikit. Got it.
