Finding a Transaction's Sequence and Orig Auth Numbers

Sequence Number

The Sequence Number is printed on the receipt for all transactions. A transaction's Sequence Number is the first 6 of the last 7 digits of the Seq # printed on the receipt.

For example, if the Seq # on a receipt is 000-123456-0, the Sequence Number is 123456.

The Sequence Number is used to select transactions from the terminal memory to process Corrections, Pre-Authorization Completions and Pre-Authorization Deletions, to reprint receipts and to use the Batch Review function.

 

To process a Pre-Authorization Completion or Deletion:

        Use the Sequence Number printed on the Pre-Authorization receipt.

Note: If you do not have the Pre-Authorization receipt, print the Pre-Auth Transactions Report to obtain the Pre-Authorization's Sequence Number.

 

To process a Correction (transaction void):

        Use the Sequence Number printed on the receipt of the transaction you want to void.

Note: If you do not have the original receipt, use the Batch Review function to obtain the Sequence Number of the transaction you want to void.

 

Orig Auth #

The Orig Auth # is printed on the receipt for all transactions. A transaction's Orig Auth # is the 6-digit Appr Code printed on the receipt (e.g., 654321).

Note: The Appr Code may contain both alphabetic and numeric characters.

The Orig Auth # is used to select transactions from the terminal memory to process Refunds.

 

To process a Refund:

        Use the Orig Auth # (Appr Code:) on the receipt of the transaction you want to refund.
