I actually think it's not that big of a deal. Here are examples where the date can be left bank:


Question 1:

If the executing broker does not give the clearing firm the opposing broker information, can the clearing firm leave the opposing broker field blank, or is the clearing firm obligated to obtain and report that information?

Answer 1:

If the clearing firm has the information related to the opposing broker, then it should report the information. If the clearing firm does not have the information, then the field may be left blank.

If you look at all the FINRA information often they state it's okay to leave dates blank which gives precedence it's likely a normal practice.

I'm to lazy to look any harder but I am pretty sure it's no biggy.
