Question
According to the EBA instructions for validating Template Z 01_02 (source: DPM table layout and data point categorization), the validation key for this template is the code in column 0020 (expected to be unique). This is the investor code (also with validation on number of characters), which may actually have more than one investment within the group (as is the case with our bank). The existing validation rule prevents correct reporting. Please provide instructions on how to proceed with this template.
Background on the question
Issuing instructions is essential for correct reporting.
Answer
This question has been rejected because EBA guidance or clarification is not needed. This can be the case where harmonisation of practices through the Q&A process is not considered necessary; or that the issue is not material, for example because it is considered to be relevant only to a limited set of institutions or other stakeholders.
