Credit Card Type on the EDC Report

May 27, 2010 4 Replies

I need to modify EDC batch report to show either 'Credit Card Type' or starting 4 number of a credit card. We have defined tender type for each credit card but problem happens if a clerk enter Visa under tender tyep 'Amex' or vise versa, so we need to have a way separte credi transactino some thing other than tendor type.



Thanks,


You're better off using the # as a placeholder for a number and use it for the desired length of that brands numbering system. If you use the * as a wildcard character you can get approval codes for cc swipes that may not pick up all digits and when you go to close your batch, it will get rejected. Yes you can get an approval code for a bad card number and you will not be able to get that $ back. no joke:

AmEx: 3############## Visa: 4############### MasterCard: 5############### Discover: 6###############

Thanks for the tip - I will change ours. I guess we have been lucky so far.
