What's the difference between application behavior for credit card payments made with a CVN or without a CVN?

Credit card payments made by entering a 3 or 4-digit Card Verification Number (CVN) requires the performance of two prerequisite setups. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the following: Offering: Financials, Functional Area: Customer Payments, Task: Manage Funds Capture Payment Methods.

On the Manage Funds Capture Payment Methods page, select a payment method and select the Edit icon. In the Edit Funds Capture Payment Method dialog box, select the Require security code entry checkbox. On the Manage System Security Options page, enable tokenization in the Credit Card Data subsection. After this, when you save a transaction type of Invoice with a CVN required, the application creates an immediate authorization and receipt number for the invoice. Following the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) security standards, the CVN isn't stored, even temporarily, in the application.

Note:

CVN capture during transaction authorization is currently not allowed. However, you may provide CVN during credit card token creation.

Credit card payments made without required entry of a CVN, follow the usual process where you create a transaction type of Invoice, submit the Create Automatic Receipts process, and an authorization is created during automatic receipt creation.
