How do I determine ASIC timeliness?

Our UI features icons that display whether a record was submitted on time

What do the timeliness indicators mean?

  • localhost_4400_iframe.html_args=&id=timelinesscomponent--validated-on-time&viewMode=story - an accepted message that was reported on time
  • localhost_4400_iframe.html_args=&id=timelinesscomponent--rejected-time-left&viewMode=story - any message where there is more than 1 hour left to report
  • localhost_4400_iframe.html_args=&id=timelinesscomponent--rejected-near-late&viewMode=story - any message with less than 1 hour left to report
  • localhost_4400_iframe.html_args=&id=timelinesscomponent--validated-past-due&viewMode=story means the submission is late
  • localhost_4400_iframe.html_args=&id=timelinesscomponent--not-applicable&viewMode=story (1) means calculating timeliness does not apply for the message
  • localhost_4400_iframe.html_args=&id=timelinesscomponent--cant-calculate&viewMode=story means missing and/or invalid values were submitted for the fields needed to calculate timeliness

How is timeliness calculated? 

When a message is submitted to the repository, KOR calculates the time it was required to be submitted based on information provided on the message and the applicable regulations. 

A message be accepted AND validated to be on time. Submitting a message with rejections before the required submission timestamp does not count - the clean resubmission of that message will be considered on time only if it passes all validations before the required submission timestamp.

On Rejected messages, time Timeliness values are not present only if the required information was missing or invalid to calculate.

    How do I know if my message was late? 

    KOR populates the following fields which are used/produced for timeliness:

    • Message submitted timestamp    Date and time of the submission of the report to the trade repository. 
    • Message processed timestamp    Date and time KOR TR completed processing of the submission. 
    • Message Required Submission Timestamp    KOR TRs calculation of when the message is required to be reported. 
    • Message Submission Late Indicator    Based on KOR's value in the field: Message Required Submission Timestamp, once the submission passes all validations, then KOR shall evaluate if the message was submitted late or not. 
    • Message Submission Late Length    When KOR's value in the field: Message Submission Late, is "True" then KOR TR shall calculate the length of time the message is late by.
