4.6.3 Authorize Clearing Status

This topic provides instructions to authorize clearing status details.

After you have updated the clearing status for a transaction payment instrument, another user must authorize the clearing status, for it to be effective in the system data stores.

To authorize a clearing status in the Payment Clearing Detail screen, do as follows:

• In the Selection Criteria section, specify the following details as search parameters to retrieve the transaction records for which the clearing status of payment instruments must be authorized:
• In the Mode field, select the Authorize option.
• In the Level field, select the Transaction option.
• In the Payment Mode field, select the mode of payment specified for the transaction for which you want to authorize the clearing status of the payment instrument. To authorize a specific cleared payment instrument, enter the number of the instrument in the Specific Number field.
• In the Date Range fields, specify a range of dates that would signify the period between which the transaction date or the allotted date of the transaction would be found.
• Click the Show button. All transactions with payment instruments that match your search criteria are displayed, with the instrument details, in the lower grid portion of the screen, in a list.
• For each payment instrument that you want to authorize the clearing status, select Authorize from the drop down menu in the Auth Status field. Your specification here will mark the clearing status of the instrument for authorization.
• After marking the clearing status of as many instruments as necessary for authorization, click the Authorize button to effect the authorization. Authorization of the payment clearing of a subscription transaction will settle all unsettled redemptions linked to it.
