When importing a landing or production report to eLandings, the XML document need not have ever every data item populated. Attributes should not be provided since they are populated by eLandings based on element data. For example, the species code element only needs its numeric code, such as "200". The name attribute should not be provided, eLandings knows that "200" is "Halibut". If attributes are entered they will be ignored. Therefore if you provide the species code as "200", and give the species_code name attribute as "Pollock" eLandings will identify the species as 200 Halibut. The species_code name will be ignored, and you will not get an error message that 200 does not equal Pollock.
