Issues Settling Credit Card Batches Ruiner 09-12-2007

Hi all,

I'm having an issue settling my credit card batches and I'm kind of flying
blind here as well. When I settle, all of my batches get an error. The error
message I'm receiving is:

Error type: Error in batch, Error Record Type: Parameter Record, Error
Request Number:2, Error Data Field Number: 10

For background, I'm running POS 2, I've applied SP1, and the CC-related
hot-fix. It is integrated with MS Accounting on the backend.

Also, just to make sure that I have all of my bases covered config wise,
we've set up a merchant account with a company called Paynet that uses Vital
on their backend. We've configured Vital with the various account-related
numbers that Paynet sent us.

When we perform a credit card transaction, we get an authorization number,
and when we called Vital, they could the authorization request and approval
on their end, so that part of the configuration seems ok.

Then when we go in and select 'Settle Batch' that's when we get the error
message above. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas what is going on
here? Obviously we are stuck until we get this resolved as every single batch
gives us this error.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,
-R

Have you EVER successfully settled a batch?

Did you have to make changes to your config after you had tried running
CC transactions? If so, there is probably a transaction stuck in your
system from before the setup was corrected.

Can you check the URL used for settlement? Sorry, I can't give you
steps on how to find this in MS POS; In RMS it is available on the same
screen you would use to enter the EDC info you got from your bank.

Hey Glenn,

Thanks for the help. We figured out what was causing the issue. Turns out
that when our Merchant Provider sent us the configuration info, they had one
of the values wrong, the store location. So once we entered that value in,
the batches after that all worked successfully.

Definitely my suggestion to Microsoft though, would be to make that error
message a little more descriptive. At least tell me where in the process it
actually failed.

Now I've just got to make another post asking if anyone has had to go
through the process of resubmitting charges, and if so, what did they do.

Thanks again for you help here.
