Sequence of events
Events in the same step have the same timestamp.
Visa sends an authorization request for –150.00.
Galileo approves the request and places a 150.00 hold on the account. The available balance is now 850.00. Galileo sends the BAUT: auth event message.
Visa sends a batch file that contains the –150.00 transaction.
Galileo backs out the 150.00 hold and posts –150.00 to the account. The available balance is still 850.00. Galileo sends a SETL: setl event message.
Visa sends a merchant credit authorization request for 40.00.
Galileo approves the request but does not credit the account yet. The available balance is still 850.00.
Visa sends a batch file that contains the 40.00 credit. Galileo creates authorization and backout entries for the ledger and credits 40.00 to the account. The available balance is now 890.00. Galileo sends a SETL: setl event message.
