Unable to edit locked Corporate Action

Overview

In the article below, you will be able to learn how to edit or delete a locked Corporate Action.

Explanation    

If a Corporate Action is locked this is due to Simple Fund 360 detecting future CGT events affecting this Investment after the date of the Corporate Action.  

To unlock, please remove or reallocate Demergers, Disposals, Tax Deferred Distributions and/or other relevant CGT events after this transaction date posted to the same investment account.

These include transactions such as:

• Cost base adjustments after the Corporate Action.
• Disposals after the Corporate Action.
• Demergers after the Corporate Action.
• Deferred Tax entry to the income accounts after the Corporate Action.
• Tax-Free entry to the income accounts after the Corporate Action.
• AMIT cost adjustments to the income accounts after the Corporate Action. 

Check the CGT Register to locate the future CGT transactions in the general ledger that relate to the investment parcel of the locked transaction.
