learwater requires a unique identifier for each currency forward associated with both positions and transactions. The sections on the right contain the full range of data fields Clearwater uses for reconciliation. Please provide all available data points. The fields listed are critical to reconciliation and must be supplied before the data can be processed. The "Holdings" and "Transactions" sections contain data required daily, while the "Initial Load" section contains data is only required for implementation. Below are common terms used in these sections and their definitions for reference.
