In versions of FIX prior to version 4.4, this message was known as the Allocation ACK message.
The Allocation Instruction Ack (P) message is used to acknowledge the receipt of and provide status for an Allocation Instruction (J) message.
For an Allocation Instruction Ack (P) message with AllocStatus (87) of 'Accepted' in response to an Allocation Instruction (J) with AllocType (626) of Calculated, it is recommended that the MatchStatus (573) field be used to denote whether any financial details provided in the Calculated Allocation Instruction (J) were matched by the Respondent. If a match takes place and succeeds, then the match status will be '0-Compared and affirmed'. If the match takes place and fails, or no match takes place, then the match status will be '1-Uncompared or unaffirmed'.
