How to Check that Calculations are Up to Date
A CATS reprocess ensures that the CA File calculations are up to date.
Under normal operation the calculations for all current CA Files will be up to date at the start of each business date.
From the CATS CA File screen, you can tell if the calculations are up to date by the Reprocess icon in the top left of the CA File screen.
Place your mouse over the Reprocess button to find information on whether the calculations are up to date.

How to Manually Adjust the Calculations
It is possible to adjust the calculations for a particular corporate action by the use of CATS overrides. These do NOT include adjusting the core corporate action terms to change the entitlement calculations.
Entitlement Level Overrides
To change the calculations at a granular level you can add Overrides to an individual entitlement.
This is done from the CATS CA File and the Entitlements tab.
Note: The following procedure illustrates the overriding of values in an income type corporate action.
Select the Entitlements tab and then the relevant row to which the override applies.

Ensure the file is locked to you. If not locked press the Lock button at the top of the CA File screen, as below.
Select the row.
Click the Override button.
Select the Apply Override option, displayed below.

Click OK.

To override the rate:
Enter the rate in the appropriate field and any notes in the Reason field.
Select Finish to apply the override.
Select Cancel to dismiss the dialog without applying the override.
The original users will then need to reprocess the file to see the updated rates.
