Transaction attributes defaulting on Excel Import

Hi,

 

Can anybody advise or point me at some appropriate technical documentation that describes the functions being performed (probably by plugins) when transactions are created. We have come across a situation in which the "Received Date" is defaulting to today using the standard Excel Imports even when our import template includes this field and we are wanting to set it to something else. We've also noted some odd behavior trying to hit the Transaction table from the API to achieve some pretty critical integrations.

 

Is there any technical documentation which:

1. Lists the events subscribed to by any plugins/automated processes associated with the transaction table?

2. What these plugins/event do?

 

I know we can probably try to reverse engineer this information from eyeballing code but as the transaction table is critical in extending the functionality of F&E in any give project this information would be really useful to help us implement changes which align with core design principles?

 

Thank you.

 

Chris.
