Setup in Simple Fund 360

---

You can establish a data feed from BT Panorama to Simple Fund 360 that will provide you with a daily data feed of assets held within a client’s BT Panorama SMSF account including cash and investment information, market values, transactions and income components.

The data feed can be established as follows:

From the Main Toolbar, go to Connect
Select Feed Management from the list.
Select the Wraps and Platforms Global tab.

1. From the Wrap and Platform Global tab, select (+) Setup. 

2. The Setup Wrap and Platform Feed screen will appear. Begin typing the fund name into the field and select it from the drop-down list below. 

3. Select BT Panorama as the Feed Provider. 

4. Input the External Reference/Account ID. 

You can find the Account ID on the top right-hand corner of your BT Panorama Cash Statement. The Account ID is usually the Client Number.

Note: If data has been entered manually for this feed prior to its activation, input a Do not import data before date in the relevant field to the last date of manual data entry. 

5. Select the BT Panorama Cash Management Account for the fund the authority is being granted for (authority will need to be granted for each bank account). 

Note: Selecting Account Mapping will display any bank or other non-unitised investments appearing in the Security Code chart. This chart will contain the relevant mapping codes used by the feed to load data to the correct account. These fields will be empty until the feed is operating. For more information on Account Mapping, click here. 

Potential Duplicate Accounts

If you do not set this up, the feed will automatically create new accounts and you might end up with duplicate accounts.

6. Select Save

Distribution transactions and tax components

Simple Fund 360 automatically updates wrap feed distribution transactions with their respective final tax components when the annual statement is made available.

FAQ

How will BT Transactions be coded?

• All cash, income, and investment transactions will be allocated to the correct account in Simple Fund 360. For purchases of new investments not previously held by the fund, new accounts will be created and transactions will be automatically allocated.

Which BT Transactions will be matched?

• Investment and Income transactions will be automatically matched to their corresponding Cash transactions by Simple Fund 360.
• Investment transactions will also match with their corresponding income transactions (for example, Dividend/Distribution Reinvestment Plans).
• Any Cash transaction that is not investment related (e.g. an expense) will be automatically matched once a Transaction Matching Rule has been set up.

Which BT Transactions will not be matched?

• Transactions like expenses will not be automatically matched by Simple Fund 360 unless you have Transaction Matching Rules set up. You can match those transactions through the Transaction Matching screen and create Transaction Matching Rules if applicable.
• If the BT Income Transaction is not on the same date as the BT Bank Transaction, these transactions will also not be automatically matched by Simple Fund 360.
• You will need to match those through the Transaction Matching screen.
