Expiring Payment Card Authorizations

This report displays all Payment Card authorizations that will expire during a given date range (based on the authorization horizon defined in configuration) if not settled before those dates or the final date on which authorizations will be considered valid. The report also has the ability to submit orders, on which expired authorization exist, to have new authorizations attempted. Authorization expiration date is a mandatory field.

  • When the Show invoiced authorizations? checkbox is selected, the report displays those authorizations that have been invoiced and posted to accounting in SAP but not yet settled.

  • When the Show approved, unexpired authorizations? checkbox is selected, the report displays those authorizations that are still valid in the system. However, for these authorizations, the report will display the date on which the authorization will expire or the last date on which it will be valid depending on the radio button selected.
