Defining Merchant ID Overrides
Purpose: Use merchant ID overrides to set up overrides for the different entities in your company.
When used: You use the merchant ID, which the service bureau assigns, to identify your company when you transmit information to the service bureau. Although you can set up a default ID for your company, you may need to set up overrides for each separate entity under which you perform authorizations and deposits.
Access to screens: The screens you use to work with merchant ID overrides are available through the Work with Authorization Services Screen.
Source code points to entity: The system determines the entity for a customer order based on the source code on the order header. When you create a source code you must specify a division, and when you create a division you must specify an entity. In this way, the source code on the order header indicates which merchant ID override to use for transactions related to the order.
Deferred/installment pay plans: If you use deferred or installment billing, you would also use these screens to set up merchant ID overrides for transactions related to these orders. See Deferred/Installment Billing Overview for more information on pay plans.
PayPal Direct Connection integration: If you use the PayPal Direct Connection Integration, you would also use these screens to set up overrides for the API credential information used to establish a direct connection to the PayPal system during deposit processing. See PayPal Direct Connection Integration.
