2.4 Reusable Transaction Catalog ​

The MAP RTC identifies reusable Shared Activities and their defining specifications. TX1–TX8 are local labels for navigation within this guide; the applicable transaction-type code identifies the Shared Activity for interoperable exchange. The maternal-health workflows compose these transactions rather than redefine each notification or document exchange. Chapter 3 establishes the common requirements and Transaction Definition structure.

The defining specifications below establish the organization of reusable transaction requirements. This guide defines TX3 and supplies maternal-health requirements for the reused transactions. TX6 is a non-Direct query placeholder. Apply the defining Transaction Definition together with the maternal-health requirements in this guide.
