attributes modify the action of a......

Explanation:
An action attribute is an optional attribute that specifies to the receiving system the type of processing to perform on an XML message. Action attributes apply to inbound XML messages that synchronize data, using the Sync operation, and to outbound XML messages that use publish channels.
The following description describes the processing for inbound messages using the Sync operation. The external system must evaluate the action code that is provided with outbound messages and determine the processing that is appropriate for that external application.
Action attributes can apply to the content of the parent object and child objects in an object structure. An action attribute applied to the parent object specifies the overall processing action for parent and child records. Applied to a child object, an action indicates processing that is specific to that record. An attribute provided for a child object is evaluated only when the primary object has an action value of Change. When the action for the primary object is not Change, actions on the child object are ignored.
Business rules take precedence over action attributes. If a business rule prohibits an action that is specified on an inbound XML message, an error occurs. For example, an inbound transaction that attempts to update a closed purchase order generates an error.
If an XML message contains multiple instances of an object structure, each instance of the object structure can specify a different action attribute. In the following example, the COMPANIES record has multiple child COMPCONTACT records, and each instance has its own action attribute.
