Definition

Attributes

@ref

Machine-readable identification string for the business object being described.

This value must be of type xsd:string.

Example Usage

The transaction element acts as a container for other sub elements.

At the transaction level, the attribute ref can be used to describe reference to this transaction in another system:

<transaction ref="1234">
....
</transaction>

Example transaction:

<transactionref="1234">
   <value currency="EUR" value-date="2012-01-01">1000</value>  
   <description>Transaction description text</description>
   <transaction-type code="IF" />
   <provider-org provider-activity-id="BB-BBB-123456789-1234AA" ref="BB-BBB-123456789">Agency B</provider-org>
   <receiver-org receiver-activity-id="AA-AAA-123456789-1234" ref="AA-AAA-123456789">Agency A</receiver-org>
   <transaction-date iso-date="2012-01-01" />
   <disbursement-channel code="1" />
</transaction>

Full example with additional elements which can override the default value set in iati-activity:

<transactionref="1234">
   <value currency="EUR" value-date="2012-01-01">1000</value>   
   <description>Transaction description text</description>
   <transaction-type code="IF" />
   <provider-org provider-activity-id="BB-BBB-123456789-1234AA" ref="BB-BBB-123456789">Agency B</provider-org>
   <receiver-org receiver-activity-id="AA-AAA-123456789-1234" ref="AA-AAA-123456789">Agency A</receiver-org>
   <transaction-date iso-date="2012-01-01" />
   <flow-type code="20" />
   <finance-type code="111" />
   <aid-type code="A02" />   
   <tied-status code="5" />
   <disbursement-channel code="1" />
</transaction>
