    Summary

    Invoicing for Service Fee for Margin Assets in the Form of Securities, Service Fee for Margin Assets in the Form of Cash, Service Fee for Margin Assets in the Form of Emission Allowances and Service Fee for Margin Assets in the Form of Bank Guarantees will be integrated into the SMSS fee-invoicing generation and reporting.
