Credit Card Vault Conversion

When the IFC>Credit Card Vault application function is set to Y and the CC Vault Function check box has been selected for the CCW and/or EFT interface, select the Utilities>Convert Vault CC Information menu option to display the Credit Card Vault Conversion screen. Credit Card Conversion utility used to convert credit card numbers to Unique ID numbers that will be used in place of the credit card to process transactions. This utility will convert all numbers to unique IDs as well as convert all unique IDs back to credit card numbers.

Note: For troubleshooting purposes, only the records exchanged during the conversion are logged to the table VAULT_CONVERSION_LOG. It is best to run a query in OPERA SQL for the table and then conduct an Export to easily search/view the data (credit card numbers are masked).
