mailto://jeff@agalis.netThe way I use it is by specifying PTC w/AVS inEmerald Admin. The batchout and batchin paths point to the transactimport and export directories. Transact-it is capable of importingand exporting data by using field definition files.
1. Create two files used for this importing andexporting, below is what I am using.
2. Make sure your path is setup in Admin to batchoutto the transact import directory and batchin to the transact export directory.3. Now in Emerald you can Batchout the necessaryCC info.
3. In Transact-it, go to utilities, import, specifythe batchout file and push the button 'use the exsisting file definition.4. It should import the CC info correctly. You can check it by selecting from the main menu 'Administration, 'Inputfile'
5. The CC data should be in the correct fields.
6. Now you 'process', 'authorize'. Then beforeyou 'settle' you need to export the approved records with the same processas import except select the 'utilities' then 'export' button.7. Now, this step is a pain. For Emerald touse this export file it needs to be modified. Here are the beforeand after changes to the Emerald Batchin file:
One record exported from transact-it:
"0201","2311","Y","13117","40 "Modified record with PTC w/AVS format
"0201","2311","SY","AUTH/TKT013117","40",""(add capital S to field 3, add AUTH/TKT to field 4, addblank field 6):
8. At this point Emerald will Batchin and processthe correct records.
9. Once processed in Emerald you can settle thetransactions.
10. For dis-approved CC, they remain in Transact-ituntil I get a new card#. Emerald never sees these errors.
11. That's it!!!Note: Once these files are created in the properdirectories, transact-it will see them when you try to import and exportdata.
In the transact-it import directory create authimp.def:
1_Field=Transaction Type
2_Field=Account Number
3_Field=Expiration Date
5_Field=AVS Address
6_Field=AVS Zip
7_Field=ORDER #
17_Field=Transaction AmountIn the transact-it import directory create settlexp.def:
11_Date=Dest. Col 1
10_Time=Dest. Col 2
13_AVS Resp=Dest. Col 3
8_Auth Code=Dest. Col 4
15_ORDER # =Dest. Col 5
