Thanks very much for the response Zubair, that's quite helpful.

So when specifying the orgUnit in the command you need to precede it by
'org '? What exactly is meant by <orgUnitCode>, is it simply the id of the
orgUnit? Is there a similar prefix required when specifying period?

Maybe you could give an example of an SMS Command submission specifying
both orgUnit and period?

Thanks,

- Jasper
