9.4 Transaction Report Primary Elements
Primary Elements are listed within a <Transactions> parent element, which defines the top-level entities of the message. See the table below for details of elements relevant to Discover Global Network.
For Discover Global Network reporting, Thredd use the new Global Transaction reporting format, which separates primary element into two separate reports:
• Non-clearing report — containing authorisation and other real-time messages
• Clearing report — containing financial messages based on the card scheme's release cycles (Discover implement one release cycle per day).
