Online adviser transactions

Where can I get a summary of online adviser transactions?

You can get a summary of online transactions that you have performed on behalf of your client(s) by using the online adviser transaction tracking tool.

To access this function:

  • Selecting Tracking from the top navigation menu
  • Selecting Online adviser transactions from the left navigation menu.

How do I sort my online adviser transaction results?

All columns can be sorted in either ascending or descending order. Just click the up arrow to sort ascending or the down arrow to sort descending.

How do I find a transaction that I have done?

You can search for a transaction using a combination of search criteria.

  1. You can firstly select 'all transactions' that you have performed online, or search a sub-set of these transactions by either 'work in progress' transactions (transactions that are still outstanding) or 'completed transactions'. You can also 'Include cancelled and expired transactions' in your search by clicking in the checkbox.
  2. You can refine your search by the following transaction
    1. All transactions
    2. Model portfolio transactions
    3. New accounts
    4. Additional investments
    5. Switches
    6. Withdrawals
  3. Enter a client’s name in the search field to limit your search to a specific client.
  4. Use the date range fields to limit or broaden your search. You can also click the 'Show all dates' checkbox to search all applicable dates.
  5. Once you have chosen your criteria above, click Search.

Click on the 'In progress' link found in the status column. For online new account applications you will resume the application at the step you saved and exited the process from. For transactions you will resume the process at step 1 of the relevant transaction page.

What happens if I delete a transaction?

Transactions or online new account applications with a status of 'In progress' are permanently removed from our records.

Transactions or online new account applications with a status of 'View/print' or 'Signature required' are updated with a status of 'Cancelled' and the check box and all links are removed. The transaction reference number is cancelled from our records.

What happens if a transaction expires?

The status of the transaction will change to Expired. You may search expired transactions by clicking the 'Include cancelled and expired transactions' checkbox.

What does confirmation status mean?

There are three states the confirmation status can have. These are:

  1. Submitted - the transaction has been submitted, processing will be completed after unit prices are available. A copy of the transaction details page is available.
  2. Complete - the transaction has been finalised; a copy of the confirmation letter sent to your client is available.
  3. Reversed - this transaction has been cancelled; a copy of the cancelled transaction page is available.

Note: Additional investments, switches and withdrawals will produce a confirmation letter. Confirmation letters for regular investment plans, investment selection and future fee rate transactions will not be available online; the transaction confirmation page is available to print.
