Credit Card registered with Test Authorization has status as Outstanding or Declined. The system prompts the following message: “There is Test Authorization without response or declined response.”

If the Settlement does not have an authorization and CCT_TOKEN
the settlement is then written into the Settlement File with CC|ORDER
Click the Processbutton to generate the Settlement File. After the Settlement file is created, the location of the saved file is displayed on the screen.
