This transaction (also known as a Purchase Correction) is used only when a partial approval purchase transaction was entered incorrectly and needs to be cancelled.
IMPORTANT: This correction must be processed for the amount of each partial approval within the overall Purchase transaction, and it must be processed in the same batch as the original Purchase. For example, if the overall transaction total was $57.75, and two pre-paid credit cards were used for $25 each, then you would need to perform three Purchase Voids; two for $25 each and a third for the remaining $7.75. See the "Partial Approval Transaction Scenarios" topic for more information.
Because each partial approval purchase transaction is given its own unique authorization number, the process for voiding a partial approval is slightly different than the process for performing a Purchase Void for a regular credit purchase.
If Moneris Loyalty points were awarded during the Partial Approval Purchase transaction that you are voiding:
when prompted to UPDATE POINTS TO ANOTHER CARD, always select NO.
perform the necessary Purchase Void (described in this topic) for the full value of the transaction.
once complete, go into the Ernex menu and perform a manual Loyalty Void for the full value of the transaction.

10. Process receipts.
If the Gift and Loyalty program is enabled, you will see the following prompt on the terminal:
UPDATE POINTS TO ANOTHER CARD?
YES NO
Select NO for now. Once all the voids are complete (for the pre-paid credit cards and other tenders used), you can process a manual Loyalty Void.
Note: You can only void a loyalty transaction once. A Partial Approval Purchase transaction uses more than one card, so it is better to wait until the end of the void transaction before attempting to void the loyalty points earned to ensure that the full amount of points are voided (instead of a partial amount for the first card used).
11. Repeat steps 1 - 10 for each pre-paid credit card used in the transaction (if more than one had been used originally). Follow these steps to void the cardholder's regular credit or debit card.
Note: Moneris Solutions Inc cannot guarantee when the card balance will be updated to reflect the voided amount. The time frame for the balance update is variable for each card issuer. Please be aware (and inform the cardholder) that the card balance might not be immediately updated.
