What should happen when an activity has both 2 countries AND 2 regions with %'s defined?

A basic algorithm would then result in 4 split transactions:

• Country A, Region A
• Country A, Region B
• Country B, Region A
• Country B, Region B

But should we be taking into account anything about those regions? Maybe region A and B only exist in country A for instance? Is this bad input data?

I'm sure I remember reading something about this in one of the other writeups but now I can't find it.

See test test_split_by_everything which currently doesn't actually do that - but it shouldn't till this Q is resolved.

Both the country and region percentages should sum together to make 100%.

https://iatistandard.org/en/iati-standard/203/activity-standard/iati-activities/iati-activity/recipient-country/#example-usage

When both the recipient-region and recipient-country are declared, then the @percentage values should sum to 100% per region vocabulary for the specific iati-activity.

<recipient-country code="AF" percentage="50" />
<recipient-region code="489" vocabulary="1" percentage="50" />
<recipient-region code="A1" vocabulary="99" percentage="50" vocabulary-uri="http://example.com/vocab.html" />

Ah, I had heard that but didn't understand the significance.

So, when an activity has both 2 countries AND 2 regions with %'s defined you should get:

• Country A
• Country B
• Region A
• Region B

And the sum value of those 4 transactions should be the same as the value on the original transaction?
