The <Parties> component block (see "Volume 1: Common Components of Application Messages") is a flexible structure that allows new party "roles" or types, party identification and identification schemes to be added without a corresponding increase in the number of FIX fields with the use of PartyRole, PartyID and PartyIDSource fields. Optionally, further information on a party identified in PartyID can be specified in the repeating group of PartySubID and PartySubIDType fields. The PartySubIDType field can be used to identify the type of PartySubID value (i.e. "Firm", "Phone number", "Contact name", "Full legal name of firm", etc.).
The matrix below identifies the various PartyRole values and the anticipated PartyIDSource values which may be associated with each PartyRole. It is important to note that other combinations may exist. In addition, see "Volume 7 – Products" for any documented product-specific anticipated PartyRole mapping and guidance.
