Scenario 19: Force Post
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.
- Visa sends a batch file with the –55.00 transaction.
- 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: setlevent message.
