Message inclusion
Baseline inclusion. Effective requirements depend on transaction context. Check the field’s conditions and FAQ qualifications; select channel and category in the explorer.
| Message | Baseline inclusion |
|---|---|
| AReq | Optional |
Conditional inclusion — source text
Optional, but strongly recommended to include.
Scoped FAQ qualifications
- FAQ 27 — Applicable object-bearing protocol versions
Only when the parent JSON object is present
Evaluate nested presence conditions when the parent object is present. In multiTransaction, merchantList is required when the object is supplied; merchantAmount remains optional.
- FAQ 73 — Applicable object-bearing protocol versions
An optional or conditionally optional field is sent empty
An empty optional field produces error 203 under Req 309. When the empty JSON object contains mandatory data, error 201 may be returned.
