Terms to Know: Effective Sequence is used to differentiate when multiple transactions occur on the same effective date. This is when more than 1 row is added with the same effective date. It uses the effective sequence to identify the latest transaction. The default effective sequence is 0, and it keeps on increasing by 1 whenever a new row with the same effective date is added.
