The IATI activity standard enables transaction
information to be published.
The transaction
data is a core component to IATI, detailing the flow of monies between organisations.
When using the IATI activity standard to declare transaction, the following should be considered:
iati-activity
should contain at least one transaction
. However, this may not always be possible for early-stage activities, for example.transaction
must contain a transaction-date
, value
, value-date
and transaction-type
.transaction
a type contained on the TransactionType
codelist is required,value
of a transaction can be positive or negative, and contain decimals. It must not contain comma seperators (eg: 3,000):3000
or 3000.00
or -3000
is acceptable. 3,000
is not.transaction-date
and value-date
must be in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD), eg: 2014-03-21.transaction-date
and value-date
can be in the “future”. A transaction
always describes something that has taken place.transaction
can be declared in any currency on the Currency
codelist.transaction
can also include finance-type
, flow-type
, aid-type
and/or tied-status
information.Currency
, finance-type
, flow-type
, aid-type
and tied-status
can be set as defaults in the iati-activity
element. There is no requirement to restate these within a transaction
if they are the same.transaction
can also contain information on the source and destination organisation. When describing these the provider-org
and receiver-org
should be used. Ideally, the unique organisation identifier would be included.transaction
includes the provider-activity-id
and/or receiver-activity-id
to refernce the iati-activity
from which funds flow from/to.
