Assumed Grant Vesting File
Previous Top Next



The Assumed Grant Vesting File (files with extension av.csv) contains information related to the vesting schedule for an assumed grant.  This vesting schedule is referred to as the acquisition date vesting schedule as opposed to the grant date vesting schedule (see Vesting File).

Insertions and Modifications

Upload file can contain both new records, and updates to existing records.
A row is uniquely identified by a combination of the Grant ID and Vest Date.

In an effort to keep Assumed Grant data distinct from normal grant data, assumed grant vesting should be loaded via the Assumed Grant Vesting file even if that vesting data is grant date related as opposed to Acquisition Date vesting. Therefore, we end up with Grant/Grant Vesting data AND Assumed Grant/Assumed Grant Vesting data.

Users should always upload the original vesting schedule for a specific grant, and then incorporate any modifications to that vesting schedule separately and through the Acceleration and Retirement-Eligibility and/or Grant Modification and Grant Modified Vesting files.

If there is more than one record in the Assumed Grant Vesting File with the same Grant ID and Vest Date, the system will assume that the last record is supposed to update the previous record(s).  The previous record(s) will be lost and no validation error will be reported.

If the referenced GrantID is not an assumed grant, an error should be reported.

Deletions

To delete all vesting activity associated with an assumed grant, the user will add a record into an uploadable Assumed Grant Vesting file that contains only the Grant ID.  Deletion records can be in the same file as insert and update records. Note only a single vesting delete row is needed to delete all the vesting rows for the grant.

 If the referenced GrantID is not an assumed grant, an error should be reported.
