RefID Naming Conventions

The software will generate the XML with the FI MessageRefID formatted as follows:

<Reporting Year><FI IN#><'MS'><Message unique ID>

Example: 201712345678MS201806221153120

XML declarations

XML declaration must be included on line 1
All namespace attributes must all be on a single line on line 2


Prohibited characters

The below characters are not validating against Ireland's submission portal and are removed when generating the XML.  Additionally, the XML generation process generally replaces special non-ASCII characters (i.e ø or å) with their XML ASCII equivalents (i.e &#xF8).  However, because the &# is prohibited by Ireland, and the special characters (i.e ø or å) are also prohibited by Ireland, the special characters are translated to their ASCII equivalents using a best-effort approach (i.e ø →o, å→a).  Sometimes, no translation may exist or the translation may be slightly off - as there are different translation keys that can be used.
