Adoption of Project-FE relatedness status with the highest numerical value as project and disclosure status

When multiple financial entities are related to a project, the system adopts the highest number of the project-fe statuses selected by the reporter for the status display at the project and disclosure level. This can be seen after the reporter selects the project-fe relationship and performs a save action.

The statuses No Conflict Exists, Potential Relationships and Relationships Identified are maintained within the Maintenance Table COI Disposition Status. The calculation of which project-fe status to select as the overall status for the project/disclosure is based on the value of the numeric COI Disposition Code. The system considers lower values as “good” statuses and higher values as “bad” statuses.

COI Disposition Code	COI Disposition
210	No Conflict Exists
310	Potential Relationship
320	Relationship Identified

As shown in the example below, the COI Disposition value for value for “Potential Relationship” i.e. 310 is higher than the COI Disposition value for “No Conflict Exists” 210. Hence the system adopts the higher value status for the project level disclosure status.

The Status of the Disclosure on the header panel is derived from the project-fe status with the highest value.
