Report Types

There are several pre-defined reports to choose from the Report drop-down list. To limit the Report list, the User may select the Report Type that contains the type of report the User wants to execute. The main Report Type categories are as follows:

• General Reports
• Reconcile Reports

The main Report Types are then broken down to further assist the User in identifying the best report to utilize when reviewing the fees charged. Following are descriptions of the Report Types:

Report	Type	Description
General Reports	Across Exchange	This report type will include activity for qualified participants where discounts are applied based upon volume accumulation or fees charged across the product exchanges (e.g. CME, CBOT, NYMEX/COMEX) or where the discount program is identical across the exchanges. NOTE: This report will only return/display data for the specific product exchange that the end user has selected.
	Brokerage	This report type contains fees that are charged directly to the broker. This is the only area where this activity can be isolated in the fee system. Currently, this fee is only applicable to CME and CBOT product exchanges.
	Exchange Specific	This report type isolates activity to address fee discount programs unique to an individual product exchange.
	Fee Summary	Fee Summary reports provide various high-level overviews of fees applied by account, commodity and/or transaction type, specifically to facilitate reconciliation to the Clearing Member Firm’s billing statement.
Reconcile Reports	Non-Member Activity	This report type isolates trade activity (e.g. PIT, Electronic, ClearPort) where the non-member rate was applied.
	Non-Trade Activity	This report is tailored to review and manage non-trade activity (e.g. cash settlements, exercise, assignment, delivery, future from exercise/assignment, expired option) that could be eligible for reduced rates based on the rules prescribed for each product exchange.
	Unregistered Activity	This report type focuses on activity that is not registered or recognized in the fee system that could ultimately trigger non-member rates to be applied. The main areas of registration anomalies are: Accounts and Operator IDs.
	Other	This report type will assist in validating what has been registered within the fee system and provide assistance monitoring adjustments (prior period or manual requests).
