Creating Schema-based Transactions

Transactions can be created independent of a document based on a schema. In contrast to creating a transaction based on a document (REQ), this method creates a clean external transaction file based on the defined schema. Once created, you can edit the transaction by entering data into a particular data element.

In the File menu, select New. In the New File dialog box, select External Transaction Files and select the transaction type based on the underlying schema. This feature creates an external transaction file and opens the file in the transaction editor.
