Dynamic Format Electronic Confirmations

Abstract

Methods, systems and processes can enable custom message formats in trading. One of the methods includes storing a plurality of different record formats. The method includes receiving a trade record, the trade record identifying a record format of the plurality of different message formats. The method includes identifying potential matching trade records to the trade record. The method includes comparing the trade record to at least one of the potential matches based on the message format. The method also includes generating a matching record based on determining that one of the potential matching trade records matches the message

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 a processor;   a non-transitory memory, the memory including computer instructions that, when executed, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:   storing a plurality of different record formats;   receiving a trade record, the trade record identifying a record format of the plurality of different message formats;   identifying potential matching trade records to the trade record;   comparing the trade record to at least one of the potential matches based on the message format; and   generating a matching record based on determining that one of the potential matching trade records matches the message.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 storing at least one trade record in trade record data store.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the record format identifies matching fields in the trade record, and comparing the trade record includes comparting matching fields in the trade record to at least some matching fields in the at least one of the potential matches. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising storing the trade record in a record datastore based on determining that none of the potential matching records matches the message. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise establishing a new record format between at least two users, the record format identifying fields. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the message format is determined by users of the system. 
     
     
         7 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
 storing a plurality of different record formats;   receiving a trade record, the trade record identifying a record format of the plurality of different message formats;   identifying potential matching trade records to the trade record;   comparing the trade record to at least one of the potential matches based on the message format; and   generating a matching record based on determining that one of the potential matching trade records matches the message.   
     
     
         8 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 storing at least one trade record in trade record data store.   
     
     
         9 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 7 , wherein the record format identifies matching fields in the trade record, and comparing the trade record includes comparting matching fields in the trade record to at least some matching fields in the at least one of the potential matches. 
     
     
         10 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 7 , further comprising storing the trade record in a record datastore based on determining that none of the potential matching records matches the message. 
     
     
         11 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 7 , further comprising establishing a new record format between at least two users, the record format identifying fields. 
     
     
         12 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 7 , wherein the message format is determined by users of the system. 
     
     
         13 . A non-transitory computer storage medium encoded with computer program instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
 storing a plurality of different record formats;   receiving a trade record, the trade record identifying a record format of the plurality of different message formats;   identifying potential matching trade records to the trade record;   comparing the trade record to at least one of the potential matches based on the message format; and   generating a matching record based on determining that one of the potential matching trade records matches the message.   
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 storing at least one trade record in trade record data store.   
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 13 , wherein the record format identifies matching fields in the trade record, and comparing the trade record includes comparting matching fields in the trade record to at least some matching fields in the at least one of the potential matches. 
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 13 , further comprising storing the trade record in a record datastore based on determining that none of the potential matching records matches the message. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise establishing a new record format between at least two users, the record format identifying fields. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer storage medium of  claim 13 , wherein the message format is determined by users of the system.
