A credit card company might not accept all account credit card payments sent to it by your newspaper. Cancel payment transactions must then be entered in Circulation for rejected credit card payments. To streamline this process, you can select Cancel Credit Payment and import a list of rejected credit card payments from an ASCII file; a cancel payment batch will automatically be created for the payments.
Before running this option, the ASCII file must be placed in the /dti/exchange/cm directory and named cancelccpmt.d. For the required format for the ASCII file, see Appendix B.
Select Cancel Credit Payment from the Account Payments menu to display the Cancel Account Credit Card Payments window.
Click Add and complete the following fields.
READ OPTION
predefined
Indicate whether to commit or edit the credit card payments in the ASCII file. If you choose “Commit”, cancel payment transactions will be created. If you choose “Edit”, only the processing report will be created (you can then look the report over for errors before committing).
BATCH DESCRIPTION
open (10) open (30)
If the field above is set to “commit”, enter an ID and description for the batch of account payment cancellations that will be created by this process.
CANCEL DATE
date
Type the date on which you are entering this batch. The current date defaults.
Click OK and then Continue to begin processing. The ASCII file will be read and, if you selected the “commit” option, a batch of payment cancellations will be created. After processing is complete, a processing report is displayed, listing the payments processed and any errors that occurred.
