Description
Human-readable status code for the Other Transaction IDV transaction record. It indicates the current state or processing condition of the transaction, rather than describing the award itself.
Business Meaning
This field helps analysts distinguish active, completed, inactive, or otherwise noncurrent records when measuring obligations, awards, or portfolio activity. It is especially useful for filtering datasets to the records that should be included in reporting and for understanding whether a transaction is part of the final analyzable award history.

Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building

Common Usage

  • filtering to active or finalized transaction records
  • grouping records by processing state
  • excluding cancelled, draft, or incomplete transactions from metrics

Common Mistakes

  • treating the code as a narrative description instead of a status indicator
  • including all status values in award counts without validating which codes are in-scope

Query Guidance

Use this field in WHERE clauses or CASE logic to include only the transaction statuses relevant to the analysis. If the extract includes a separate description field, join or inspect it to confirm code meanings before hard-coding filters.
