Transaction upload CSVs do not contain 2.01 fields #116

Closed danmackenzie closed 8 years ago

danmackenzie commented 9 years ago

The CSV templates available for download from AidStream that orgs can use to upload transactions do not contain the new fields available for Transactions in v2.01.

I noticed that Recipient Country was missing as an option.

Cheers,

Daniel

Correct. We haven't included those newly added fields in the upload for now. @iatisupport What do you say? Shall we add them?

wendyrogers commented 9 years ago

I guess for completeness we should add in the new fields to the upload template. However, if no users are currently using them then it might be better to use your resources to implement this in the 'new' version of Aidstream?

@danmackenzie & @rolfkleef - do you know if any of the users you are working with require this fix now?

I don’t work with many publishers who use AidStream, and within that group I only know of one organisation that use the CSV upload - BRAC UK.

At the moment they will not be planning to use the extra fields. This is limited experience, but I wouldn’t see this as a priority for now.

I don't know of anyone here planning to use the newly added fields soon, so not urgent for us.

Currently the detailed CSV contains fields that have been deprecated. The followings are the existing CSV fields. Number of these fields (most text for the codelist) will be deprecated from the template and sector, country, region will be added.

The new V2.01 CSV template to contain the following fields only (in the given order). Also xml_lang is excluded from the csv as it's confusing. There could be only one narrative field, e.g for title, description in this template. Further could be added from the form later.

Activity_Identifier Activity_Title Transaction-ref TransactionType-code TransactionDate-iso_date TransactionValue-currency TransactionValue-value_date TransactionValue-text Description-text ProviderOrg-ref ProviderOrg-provider_activity_id ProviderOrg-text ReceiverOrg-ref ReceiverOrg-receiver_activity_id ReceiverOrg-text DisbursementChannel-code Sector-vocabulary Sector-code RecipientCountry-code RecipientRegion-vocabulary RecipientRegion-code FlowType-code FinanceType-code AidType-code TiedStatus-code

The detail transaction upload template now accepts all the V201 field. Please verify.
