How You Upload Corporate Card Transactions with Encrypted Card Numbers

A data file is an electronic format in which your company receives its employees' corporate card charges. Using Oracle Fusion Expenses, your company can upload MasterCard CDF3 files and American Express GL1025 files with encrypted corporate card numbers.

Encrypting corporate card numbers:

• Prevents fraudulent activity by employees or administrators.

• Protects your corporate cards from hackers.

Note:

No setup or process change is necessary to receive corporate card transaction files from MasterCard or American Express with encrypted card numbers.

Encrypted corporate card numbers have digits that are both masked and unmasked. Expenses supports the following formats for encrypted corporate card numbers:

• American Express GL1025 files:

  • Last five digits unmasked

  • Last six digits unmasked

  • Last seven digits unmasked

• MasterCard CDF3 files:

  • Last four digits unmasked

When encrypted American Express GL1025 files are uploaded to Expenses, they are stored as follows:

• A new encrypted corporate card number is created by concatenating an employee ID number with unmasked digits.

  If the new encrypted corporate card number is more than 12 digits, the last 12 digits are used as the card number.

  If the new encrypted corporate card number is less than 12 digits, the application adds zeros in front to total 12 digits.

• The new encrypted corporate card number is then stored against the employee.

Tip:

When corporate card numbers are encrypted, transactions without employee ID numbers are rejected. To ensure receipt of all encrypted corporate card transactions, you must ask your corporate card provider to include an employee ID number for each transaction in the file.
