Scenario 19: Force Post

<< Back to the index

A merchant does not obtain authorization for a $55 purchase because of technical difficulties with the card reader. The merchant later sends a clearing message for the transaction to its acquirer. The following are true:

  • The initial available balance is $1000.
  • The network is Visa.

Sequence of events

Events in the same step have the same timestamp.

  1. Visa sends a batch file with the –55.00 transaction.
  2. Galileo adds authorization and backout entries to the ledger and then posts –55.00 to the account. The available balance is 945.00. Galileo sends a SETL: setl webhook.

Transactions

These tables show how the transactions are represented by various Galileo systems. For an explanation of the trans_code field, see Classifying transactions in the About Transactions guide.
