Category	Data submission
Description	Inserts new transactions.
Permissions Required To Invoke	Import
Parameters Required On Request	Credentials, ImportTransactionsOptions, RowData

This method only applies to customers who have purchased the optional Transactions module for Adaptive Planning or Adaptive Consolidation. This method can be used to delete existing transaction rows which match certain criteria, to insert new transaction rows into the system, or to do both actions in one invocation (i.e. replace a set of transaction rows with another set of rows).

Request Format

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<call method="importTransactions" callerName="a string that identifies your client application">
 <credentials login="sampleuser@company.com" password="my_pwd" instanceCode="INSTANCE1"/>
 <importTransactionsOptions allowParallel="false" useMappings="false"/>
  <rowData>
    <header>Posting Date|Transaction Type|Account|Plan|Transaction Amount</header>
    <rows>
       <row>01/02/2011|Invoice|70110|Marketing|100</row>
    </rows>
  </rowData>
</call>

Each invocation of this API call must contain exactly one element of each of the listed types:

credentials
importTransactionsOptions
rowData

credentials element
Tag Name		credentials
Description		All API calls must contain a single credentials element to identify the user invoking the API. The API call is then performed as this user (any audit trail or history of actions in the system will show that this user performed the action), and therefore the user must have the required permissions to perform the action in order for the API call to succeed.
Attributes of the Element
Attribute Name	Required?	Value	Example
login	Y	The login name of the user invoking the API method. This user must have a role containing the permissions required for the method being invoked.	sampleuser@company.com
password	Y	The password of the user invoking the API method.	my_password
locale	N	Specify the locale to be used to interpret incoming numbers and dates, and to format outgoing numbers and dates (using the proper thousands separator, month names, and date formatting). The locale is also used to specify the language in which any system messages in the response should appear. If not specified, en_US (American English) is used.	fr_FR
instanceCode	N	If the user specified in the credentials has access to more than one instance of Adaptive Planning, this attribute can be used to specify that the user is intending to access an instance other than their default instance. If not specified, the user's default instance will be used. To determine the available instance codes, use the exportInstances API.	MYINSTANCE1

importTransactionsOptions element
Tag Name		importTransactionsOptions
Description		Specifies the options to be used when performing the import. If at least one of deleteStartDate, deleteEndDate, or transactionTypes are specified, then this method call will attempt to delete any existing transactions which match those specified criteria.
Attributes of the Element
Attribute Name	Required?	Value	Example
deleteStartDate	N	If this method call is intended to delete some existing transactions, this attribute specifies the start date of the set of transactions to be deleted (inclusive). If not specified, all transactions which have a date on or before the deleteEndDate (and which matches one of the optional specified TransactionTypes) will be deleted.	11/01/2012
deleteEndDate	N	If this method call is intended to delete some existing transactions, this attribute specifies the end date of the set of transactions to be deleted (inclusive). If not specified, all transactions which have a date on or after the deleteStartDate (and which match one of the optional specified TransactionTypes) will be deleted.	12/31/2012
transactionTypes	N	A set of transaction types which will be deleted, separated by the pipe symbol. If not specified, all transactions given between deleteStartDate and deleteEndDate will be deleted. If no deleteStartDate or deleteEndDate is specified, all transactions of the specified types will be deleted regardless of their dates.	Invoice\|Purchase Order
allowParallel	Y	If set to true, then an import will proceed even if there is already another actuals or transactions import in process for this instance. If set to false, then an attempt to import will fail if there is already an actuals or transactions import being processed for this instance.	false
useMappings	N	Specifies whether to use import mappings for accounts, plans and dimension values inside the row elements. Considered true by default. If false then the internal identifiers should be used: accounts are identified by code, levels and dimension values by name.	false
includeContext	N	Specifies whether messages may include the context block. Values are false (never show context) or true (show context if appropriate). If not specified, true is assumed.	false
