5. All fields under Soft Amend button are non-contractual details. If Portfolio, Transaction Type, Project, Ctpy Dealer, Narrative will be changed, clicking Soft Amend button will suffice. This will not change the suffix of the TradeID and does not require re-authorization and re-verification.

6. The fields above the soft amend button are contractual details, therefore re-authorization and re-verification are required. Updating these fields will warrant a change in the suffix of the TradeID.
