Terms Used in this Guide
Various terms are used throughout the credit card industry. Often several
different terms may have the same meaning. This section will define which
terms we have chosen to use and what they mean. For additional terms
please visit our online Glossary.
Terms referring to specific transaction types are not covered in this section.
For example, a ‘Pre-Authorize’ transaction at one processor may be called a
‘Book’ transaction by a different processor. Transaction Types terms are
covered in their own section Transaction Types.
Back Engine
Referred to as Payment Gateway
Payment Gateway
The software and / or service that transmit the e-transactions to
the processor. CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ sends
transactions from the accounting software through the payment
gateway. Examples of a payment gateway are VeriSign and
Paylinx. A payment gateway is also referred to as a back-engine,
gateway or processing engine.
Processing Engine
Referred to Payment Gateway
Processor
The processor is also known as a network. The processor is a
middle-man between the merchant and the customer’s bank. The
processor allows the merchant to connect to the approving bank
(cardholder’s bank) to check the validity of the card and the
availability of the funds and sends a response through a payment
gateway.
Accounting System Integration
The accounting system integration is the most visible piece of
CREDIT
CARD
ADVANTAGE™.

ACH payment.
Reference Credits

section below covers one of the steps detailed below.
Checking System Requirements
Obtaining the CCA*.exe
Running the CCA*.exe
Including New Code
Attaching the Registration Window

4. Select the “Credit Card Advantage™” link based on
your current system settings.
5. Scroll down until you see the version you require:
[Microsoft Dynamics GP]
6. Under that section right click the link and select “Save
Target As.”
7. Enter a location to save the file, and click “Save” to
copy the file to your computer. It is a good idea to
save the file to a location that will be accessible to
other computers on your local network.
Running the CCA*.exe
To run the CCA*.exe administrative privileges are required on the
environment. The install needs to be run on each workstation that
Microsoft Dynamics GP installed. If you are using a terminal service
style environment then the install needs to be run on the hosting box.
When running the installation you must be logged in as the computer
“Administrator.” The install routines perform the following tasks:
Installs the Nodus Framework, which contains the various .dlls, system
files, and payment gateway software and connectors on the local
drive
Copy the cca*.cnk file to the Microsoft Dynamics GP launch directory
Copy necessary template and .dll files to the Microsoft Dynamics GP
launch directory
Attach the User Guide and Release Notes to the Windows Start menu
To run the CCA*.exe:
1. Login to the computer with administrative privileges.
It is a good idea to go to command prompt and type
“change user /install” before beginning.
2. Navigate to the location where you saved the
CCA*.exe file and double click that file.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. When asked where Microsoft Dynamics GP is installed,
change the default location to match your Microsoft
Dynamics GP launch directory.

5. The Nodus Framework will automatically install if it is
not already installed. If the Nodus Framework is
installed it will ask you if you want to upgrade the
Nodus Framework.
Including New Code
After running through the install for CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ new code
will need to be included. This will convert the CNK file to a DIC file. The DIC
file holds the information for the CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ windows to
work.
To include new code:
1. After completing the installation, launch Microsoft
Dynamics GP.
2. When prompted, choose Yes to include new code.
Product Registration Key
After purchasing CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™, Nodus will provide you an
accounting system integration key. This key will activate the software for
use for a specified Registered Site ID. To preview CREDIT CARD
ADVANTAGE™ before purchase, you can use “Fabrikam, Inc.” without a
registration key. To use the product with actual company data, the
accounting system integration key must be entered.
NOTE: The version and build in the window will
be different from the one you have installed.

16
To enter Product Registration Key:
1. Open the CC Advantage Registration window by
going to Tools > Setup > System > Credit Card
Advantage > Registration.
2. If using temporary test keys, go to Extras > Options >
Key Expiration Date to open the Registration Key
Expiration Date window. Enter the key expiration date
in the field provided. Click OK.
3. Enter the Nodus user count. Generally, this will be 0 or
blank to reflect unlimited users.
4. Enter the Product Registration key into the Credit
Card Registration field. If you were given a Credit
Card Advantage™ SDK or Credit Card Processing
Migration Key enter them into the correct fields.
Running Installation Routines
Running the installation routines consists of opening the CC Advantage
Registration window and choosing the Table Setup and Conversion button.
The installation routines will create tables and stored procedures and set
permissions on those objects for those users running on an MS-SQL
database. These procedures will also convert any existing data for users
who are upgrading from a previous version.
To run installation routines:
1. Make
sure there are no users using Microsoft
Dynamics GP.
2. Open the CC Advantage Registration window by
going to Tools > Setup > System > Credit Card
Advantage > Registration.
3. Click Table Setup and Conversion.
Clicking the Table Setup and Conversion button is
necessary every time a new build is installed. This needs to
be done once for each company. This should be done no
matter which database is being used: MS-SQL or MSDE.
These procedures will handle all table setups, stored
procedure creation, table and stored procedure permissions
and data conversions.

Encrypting ABA, Account Number, SSN
With the latest release of Credit Card Advantage we are encrypting the
ABA, Account Number and Social Security Numbers only in the Credit Card
Advantage tables. When you create new entries the ABA, Account
Number, and Social Security Number will be encrypted. In order to encrypt
the records already in your database you will need to open the Encrypt
Tables window and run the encryption.
To run encryption routines:
1. Open the CC Advantage Registration window by
going to Tools > Setup > System > Credit Card
Advantage > Registration.
2. Open the Encrypt Tables window by going to Extras >
Options > Encrypt Credit Card Advantage Tables.
3. On the Encrypt Tables window check the tables you
would like to Encrypt and click the OK button. It is
recommended that you run the Encryption on all
tables in the window.
Credit Card Advantage will always encrypt the ABA,
Account Number and Social Security Number regardless
of running this routine. This procedure may take a long
time depending on the size of your database.

Recommended Great Plains Settings
Credit Card Advantage handles sales documents that have an unprocessed
credit card/eCheck transaction associated with them. As long as Credit
Card Advantage is installed, Credit Card Advantage prevents the user from
posting sales documents that have unprocessed credit card/eCheck
transactions associated with them. However, as an added security, we also
recommend the following for your Microsoft Dynamics GP system:
Don’t allow Transaction Level posting
Require a password for batch level posting
These settings can be specified inside Microsoft Dynamics GP by going to
Tools > Setup > Posting > Posting. These should be set by the Microsoft
Dynamics GP Administrator.

Customizations
Credit Card Advantage does not upgrade the individual Payment
Gateway Config.xml files. The upgrade does not overwrite these files,
as they may have been modified by the user. If you would like to
overwrite your Config.xml customizations, you must first uninstall the old
version of Credit Card Advantage before installing the newer version.
If you wish for Nodus to upgrade your current Config.xml
customizations, please contact Nodus Support for more information.
Additionally, if you have any customizations for Credit Card
Advantage that you will require in the latest version, you will need to
contact Nodus Support to request that your customization be
upgraded.
The steps to upgrading are similar to those of a new Install. All Credit
Card Advantage machines must be upgraded. Each machine must
have the same version and build of Credit Card Advantage installed.
After running the install you will need to include the new code, enter in
the new product registration keys, and complete the installation
procedures.

PART II: General eTransaction
Information
Transaction Types
This section explains each of the transaction types in CREDIT CARD
ADVANTAGE™. The steps for processing each of the transaction types are
nearly identical. Slight variations are identified and explained in this section.
Please note the various names of the transaction types vary by processor. A
Sale at one processor may be called Capture at another. A Book may also
be known as a Pre-Authorize. There are many other variations. The names
chosen for CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ are among the more common but
not universal. Though the names may vary, the processing details do not. All
products developed by Nodus Technologies will use the following terms for
different transaction types.
Sale
An approved Sale is an immediate charge to the customer’s credit card or
account. Money will not be moved until settlement has occurred. If a Sale
is saved to a batch, the charge will not occur until the batch is sent for
approval. A Sale can only be reversed with a Void or a Credit. A Sale
transaction does the same thing regardless of it being a credit card
transaction, a debit card transaction, an eCheck transaction, or an ACH
transaction.
Book
When dealing with credit card transactions a Book is a reserve of a
specified amount on the customer’s credit card or account. A Book
prevents the customer from using that portion of their credit / funds, but
does not actually charge the card nor transfer any money. A Book is useful
for companies that ship merchandise one or more days after receiving an
order. By issuing a Book, a company reserves the necessary amount on the
customer’s card at order placement time. As long as the book transaction
remains open an approved Ship transaction is guaranteed. A Ship
transaction is necessary to complete the Book. A Book can only be
entered from the Sales Transaction Entry window.
© 2007 Nodus Technologies, Inc. – All Rights Reserved
CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ 9.0 USER’S GUIDE
22
The number of days a Book will stay open is determined by each
cardholder’s issuing bank. The most common number is seven to ten days,
but some banks may hold Books for as long as four weeks and little as three
days.
A book transaction cannot be reversed. Issuing a Void for a book
transaction will not free up any money on the customer’s credit card. To
free up the reserved money you would need to issue a ship and then void
that shipped amount.
When dealing with eChecks and ACH a Book is a query to see if the
account number exists. This Book does not reserve funds on the customer’s
account.
Ship
A Ship can only be issued for a transaction that previously has been a
Book. Under ordinary circumstances, a Ship is assured approval as long as
the amount is equal to or less than the original Book amount and the Ship
transaction is sent before the Book has expired. A Ship results in an
immediate charge to the customer’s credit card or account. If the Ship is
for less than the original Book amount, the remainder of the original Book
amount is released back to the customer’s credit line or account.
A ship transaction can be reversed by issuing a credit or void.
Note:
Some gateways do not allow Ship transactions
with amounts greater than the original Book
amount. Please check with your gateway to see
if that feature is available for you.
Credit
A Credit is issued to transfer money from the company’s account to the
customer’s account or credit card. There are two types of Credit
transactions that you can issue: referenced credit and non-referenced
credit. A referenced credit occurs when you remove the payment line, or
delete a sales document. To create a non-referenced credit you need to
create a brand new return document. Some payment gateways allow for
the reversal of a Credit by issuing a Void if that transaction has not yet
© 2007 Nodus Technologies, Inc. – All Rights Reserved
CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ 9.0 USER’S GUIDE
23
been settled. If the transaction has settled you will need to issue a sale to
reverse the Credit.
Note:
Some gateways do not allow non-referenced
credit transactions to be processed. Please
check with your gateway to see if that feature is
available for you.
Figure: eTransaction Entry set to process a Non-Referenced Credit transaction.
Force
A Force is used to enter already approved authorization/transaction. A
Force is typically used for capturing a phone authorization. When entering
a Force you will be required to enter the authorization code. Be sure the
Dyn/eEnt Only option is unselected to perform this type of a Force. A force
can be reversed by issuing a credit or a void.
Note:
Some gateways do not support this type of
transaction. Please check with your gateway to
see if that feature is available for you.
© 2007 Nodus Technologies, Inc. – All Rights Reserved
CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ 9.0 USER’S GUIDE
24
Force – Local
The Dyn / eEnt Only option is used with a Force when the transaction being
entered has already settled or it is already in the records of your Payment
Gateway. This can happen due to network failure or other system problem
that prevents CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ from properly receiving the
response from the payment gateway. The Dyn / eEnt Only option enters
the information into the Microsoft Dynamics GP records, without sending a
request to the processor. Selecting the Dyn / eEnt Only option will create a
Local Force.
Void
A Void is issued for an unsettled approved transaction. When a Void is
successfully issued, neither the Void nor the original transaction will appear
on the customer’s statement. A Void can only be issued against an
unsettled transaction. When a Void is sent, if the original transaction has
already been settled, the Void will be denied and a warning will be
displayed. A settled Sale transaction must be reversed with a Credit.
Note:
THE WELLS FARGO GATEWAY DOES NOT SUPPORT
THE VOIDING OF A SALE, SHIP, OR CREDIT
TRANSACTION WHEN USING CREDIT CARDS.
WELLS FARGO & USA ePay DOES NOT ALLOW
YOU TO VOID AN ECHECK.
Settlement
Settlement is the procedure that transfers money from one account to the
other. A sale, force, credit and ship are the only transaction types that are
settled. Settlement will occur at your gateway, independent of CREDIT CARD
ADVANTAGE™. The settlement procedure run by Credit Card Advantage™
simply moves information from the open to the history table. The settlement
that occurs with your payment gateway and / or processor is responsible for
moving money to and from your account. Each payment gateway and / or
processor determine the time they will run settlement. Most will settle only
one time a day. For instructions on simulating Settlement in Credit Card
Advantage™ please see End of Day Procedure window.

PART III: Credit Card Advantage™
Windows
Credit Card Advantage™ Setup Window
In order to use CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ you must create either a generic
setup id or an advanced setup id. CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ is designed
to support multiple processors and payment gateways. Each Setup ID
created through the Credit Card Advantage™ Setup window will designate
the appropriate payment gateway, the payment type, and the Checkbook
ID where payments will be deposited and other necessary connection
information. The Setup ID is company specific; if creating a Setup ID in
Company A only use that setup id in Company A.
Generic Setup ID
A generic setup id contains only the most basic information. Creating
this type of id is the minimum setup Credit Card Advantage™ needs in
order to be able to process transactions. If you are using a proxy
server, have Paymentech as your processor and VeriSign as your
gateway, or plan to process in a currency other than USD, and then
you must create an Advanced Setup ID. Below is a table of all fields
that are in the Generic Setup ID. There are two ways in creating a
generic setup id: inside of Great Plains and through Connection
Manager.

CC Advantage Book Duration Window
**This window is not available in Credit Card Advantage™ Light.
Book transactions reserve a specified amount of money on a customer’s
credit card. Because the dollar amount is already reserved against the
customer credit card, an approval is virtually guaranteed when a follow-up
ship transaction is sent to the processor. The number of days a book is kept
open is determined by each cardholder’s issuing bank. The most common is
seven to ten days, but books may be held for as long as four weeks. The
number entered in the CC Advantage Book Duration window is the number
of days CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ will consider the book open. This may
not exactly coincide with the number of days an individual book stays open.
Each credit card may be associated with a book duration. To setup the
book duration enter the number of days the book will remain open and an
expired batch name. Leaving the number of days as 0 will turn off the
expiration for book transactions by selected cards. After book transactions
expire, they will be placed into batches under the Expired Book Batch Name.
Note
To get the correct number of days a credit card
authorization remains open, contact the credit
card company. CC Advantage Book Duration
window only lists those credit cards associated
with the Checkbook ID in CCA Setup window.

prints information about the transaction. By clicking ok you will dismiss
the Results window. Depending on your settings you will be asked to
print a receipt. For more information on receipts see the subsection
Dealing with Receipts at the end of this section.
Handling Denied Transactions
It may happen that the response from processing a transaction is
declined. When this happens you will see a message box that says,
“Card Denied. Seek Other Payment Method.” Click ok on this
message box and view the Results window. This window will have
information about what has happened to the transaction.
Dealing with Receipts

Alternatively to Real Time processing, unprocessed credit card transactions
may be saved in a batch. When credit card transactions are saved in a
batch, all transactions in the batch are sent for verification at once. No
verification is done at the time the transactions were entered.
When using batch mode, all credit card transactions in the batch must be
approved before the batch can be posted. Once the batch is sent for
approval, denied transactions are removed from the batch and placed into
their own separate denied batch. (See CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ Setup
for information about the name of the denied transaction batch). Moving
the denied transactions allows the rest of the batch to post. If you have
selected “Save to Customer Card” in the eTransaction Entry window the
Great Plains customer information will be updated if the transaction is
approved.
Note:
You cannot post Dynamics/eEnterprise Sales
documents that are associated with credit card
transactions until the credit card transaction
have been approved or removed. You cannot
post Sales batches that include credit card
transactions until the batch has been processed
from the CC ADVANTAGE Batch Verification
window.

End of Day Procedure
Credit Card Advantage™ treats settlement as two different processes. The
first process occurs with the payment gateway, the second is directly with
Credit Card Advantage™. Your gateway has a time that it is scheduled to
settle and will do so automatically without intervention from Credit Card
Advantage™. During this settlement the actual transfer of money will take
place. Credit Card Advantage™ will run a similar procedure assuming best
case scenario. All transactions that were done and are considered as
transactions that can settle will be moved to history. This is known as the End
of Day Procedure.
The end of day process is activated in one of two ways. You can manually
“settle” by opening the End of Day window. This process settles transactions
based on the Auto Settlement Time entered on the CREDIT CARD
ADVANTAGE™ Setup window for each Setup ID. You also have the option of
automatically “settling” by leaving Dynamics GP open until after your set
Auto Settlement Time. The Auto Settlement procedure checks the current
hour to determine if settlement needs to occur.
The End of Day Procedure window also allows you to preview each Setup ID’s
credit card activity for the day, to print historical settlement reports and daily
transaction reports. The card daily activity and settlement reports may be
used to reconcile credit card activity recorded in CREDIT CARD
ADVANTAGE™ with that recorded by the Payment Gateway. For information
about obtaining reports from the Payment Gateway, see the appendix
dealing with your gateway.
Note:
Book, Void, Denied, and Voided transactions
will not be listed in both the preview reports and
the settlement reports. These transactions will
not settle or transfer money from the bank.
However, the Daily Transaction Reports will list
all transactions entered in one day regardless of
their types.

CCA Expired Book Batches
**This feature is unavailable in the Credit Card Advantage™ Light version.
CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ helps in monitoring book transactions. If you
created a setup where the book transaction does not automatically get
renewed then the expired book transactions will show up in the CCA Expired
Book Batches window. From this window you can view transactions in a
batch, manually extend the book duration, renew the book duration, or
delete the expired book transaction.
Manually Extend
Expired book transactions can be manually extended by modifying
the book expiration date associated with each book transaction. This
procedure is useful when there is a discrepancy between the
expiration status of the local records and that of the bank records. A
request will not be sent out to the gateway for extending the book
transaction.

information will be reported in the functional currency of Great Plains. The
transaction amount will be automatically converted (for reporting) based on
the exchange rate from Great Plain’s setup tables. The amount that is sent will
be the one listed in the eTransaction Entry window. The transaction will be
processed in the currency set in the Credit Card Advantage™ Setup window.
Credit Card Advantage™ does not convert the amount being sent.

transactions. Users are able to selectively book and ship items in the same
document. All the book transactions associated with the document are listed
in Authorized Transactions window, which automatically opens when the
corresponding document is displayed in the Sales Transaction window. If
using the multiple booking feature the entire book amount will be sent for
processing. If you wish to ship less than the amount that is booked then you
will need to change the amount in the Authorized Transactions window (refer
to Authorized Transactions window section).

Send Tracking Email
If the user needs to send an email confirmation to the customer after
having entered tracking numbers to the SOP entry, you would first
have to activate this option on your Credit Card Advantage Setup
window. After activating this option, entering Tracking Information
under ‘User-Defined’ in SOP entry and clicking OK would automatically
send a Tracking Confirmation Email to that certain customer provided
that:

Setting up Carrier/Tracking Number Custom Link
Tracking number fields may also contain an indicator for the carrier’s
website. The carrier is marked by separating the first character of the
tracking number from the remainder by a slash (/); the first character
indicates the Carrier. For example, inputting “F/LA123456789” will
separate “F” as a Carrier and “LA123456789” as the Tracking number.
Using this Carrier, the code searches the Custom Link table for a
Tracking record with the Carrier as the Custom Links Label. The
associated URL is printed after the Tracking number on the report.
If no Carrier URL is part of the Tracking number, the Email will only
contain the Tracking Number without any URL.

CREDIT CARD ADVANTAGE™ 9.0 USER’S GUIDE
96
If a Carrier is indicated, but is not found in Custom Links, CCA will
search for a default Custom Link Label set as “Z”.
To create a Carrier/Tracking Number Custom Link:
1. Open the Custom Links window: from the Main Menu
bar click Go to (Tools ⇒) Setup ⇒ Company ⇒
Custom Links
2. Click on the ‘New’ Button.
3. Set Prompt to ‘Tracking Number’
4. Set Custom Link Label to a unique character – this is
what will be entered preceding the tracking number.
5. Leave the ‘Field Value’ blank, but check the ‘All field
values’ checkbox.
6. Set ‘Internet Address’ to the URL for the Carrier’s
website that will direct you to the Tracking Page. You
can embed the Tracking Number inside the URL by
includes in the ‘<TrackingNumber>’ tag. (ie:
www.ups.com/trackingnumber=<TrackingNumber>).

Setting a Default Email Address for a Customer
For obvious reasons, the customer intended to be emailed must have
a default email address set on his Customer Card. CCA is using the
email address associated to the Address ID that is the default on the
Customer Card. If CCA does not see the Email Address, the Email will
not be sent out for that Tracking Number.

Email Receipt
If you setup your system to automatically send an email receipt, an email will
be sent to the customer on approved sale and ship transactions. The email
will grabs most of its information from the Nodus open transaction table. If
you create a transaction using the Cash Receipts or Receivables Entry
module the system will use the NodusEmailReceipt.txt template file. If you
create a transaction using the Sales or Invoice Entry modules the system will
use the NodusEmailReceiptLines.txt template file.
The file format is broken down into two parts.

<EmailBody>
The <Subject> section is the subject of the email. The subject you want to
send should be enclosed in subject tags. For example: <SUBJECT>Email

Telephone Authorizations
On occasion it may be necessary to obtain transaction approvals via the
telephone rather than through the standard interface. This can be required if
an internet connection is down or, if the card holder has requested an
added level of security. When a telephone authorization is obtained, it is
necessary to enter the transaction as a Force in Credit Card Advantage™.
Entering the transaction as a Force creates the proper accounting entries in
Dynamics / eEnterprise without needing to re-verify the transaction. To enter

Deleting and Voiding Dynamics GP Sales
Transactions
If you delete or void a Sales transaction that has a credit card payment
attached to it, the credit card payment is handled in one of three ways:
The credit card transaction will be deleted if it has not yet been sent
for verification.
A reversing void transaction will be generated if the original credit
card transaction has been verified but not settled.
A reversing credit transaction will be generated if the original credit
card transaction has been settled.
The reversing transaction will be generated upon deletion of the sales
transaction. They can be processed immediately in real-time. If a reversing
transaction from a deleted document is not successfully processed, the
transaction will be saved to a deleted transaction batch. The deleted
transaction batch can be processed from the Batch Verify window. See
Batch Verification window.

Using Sales Workflow
You can make Credit Card Advantage™ part of your sales workflow. To use
the Dynamics GP sales work flow, you must create a Fulfillment Order
document. For exact information on how this document works, refer to the
Great Plains documentation. The following is a walk through of one way to
integrate Credit Card Advantage™ into your Sales Workflow.
To use Sales Workflow:
1. Open the Sales Transaction Entry window.
2. Create a Fulfillment Order, as mentioned in Dynamics
GP.
3. Before you print the picking slips, create a book
transaction for the document.
4. Continue through the workflow as normal until you
have confirmed the packing.
5. Transfer the Fulfillment Order if necessary.
NOTE: If
partial shipping is marked, another book transaction
will be created for the item that is back ordered.
Assuring you that when that item is available, the
funds will available as well.
6. Continue through the workflow as normal through the
shipping state. Once the product is shipped, also ship
the book transaction.
7. Complete the rest of the steps of the sales workflow.
Transfer Multiple Batches
Dynamics GP has added a feature to enhance your ability to transfer
documents. Using the Transfer Multiple Batches window you can easily
transfer many documents by batch id, customer id, or other types. Please
refer to Great Plains documentation for more information. As each order or
back order is transferred to an invoice the original transaction will also be
transferred with the document. If you are using partial shipping and transfer
the document, the new document will use the original book transaction. If
an item stays behind then a new book transaction will be created for the
document.
Note:
You may only transfer one type of document at
a time for Partial Shipping to work correctly.

Level 2, 3 Processing
Credit Card Advantage will automatically attempt to submit level two and
three processing data to your gateway and processor, if the data is
available. This applies to credit card transactions only.
Transaction data can be passed from the following sales modules:
Cash Receipts: Level 2 and 3 data only if the Cash Receipt has been applied
before processing, and that Level 2,3 information is filled in on the Invoice.
Receivables Transaction Entry: Level 2 data only
Invoice Entry: Level 2 and 3 data
Sales Order Processing: Level 2 and 3 data
Please check with your payment gateway and processor if Level 2 and 3
data are supported. Currently, Credit Card Advantage only supports Level 2
and 3 data submission for the following:
Level 2 Gateways:
AuthorizeNet
Paymentech
USA ePay: Book, Ship, and Sale transactions only
Verisign (only qualifying processors.

Note:
If a Cash Receipt is applied to more than one
Invoice, the data will be retrieved from the first
Invoice the Cash Receipt is applied to.
Amounts, however, such as Tax or Freight
amount submitted will be totaled from all
Invoices that the Cash Receipt is applied to.

Part V: Task Scheduler
**This feature is unavailable in the Credit Card Advantage™ Light version.
The Task Scheduler allows you to schedule times to automatically create a
batch, process a batch, and / or run settlement. The task scheduler helps
you save even more time by cutting out the steps of putting transactions into
a batch, opening batch verification and processing a batch, and opening
the End of Day window. The only thing you have to do is create documents
in Dynamics GP, leave the rest to us. You will need to get familiar with the
following four task scheduler windows: Setup, Set Auto Batch Creation Time,
Set Batch Processing Time, and Set Settlement Time. These windows can be
icon from the system tray. To schedule or
opened by right clicking the
run any tasks through the Task Scheduler you must have Dynamics GP open
and running. You only need to set this information on the computer that will
run these features.
WARNING:
If you set processes to run at the same time
Great Plains will cause problems. You should
not schedule more than one event at a time
because either only one event will run or Great
Plains will run into problems.
After installing Credit Card Advantage™ a Login Screen might popup the first
time you open Great Plains. If this happens right click the Nodus icon in the
System Tray and select exit. Then close the Login screen.
Setup
The Setup window is required for Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows
NT.
The information in this field corresponds to your computer login
information. There is also an Auto Sync checkbox, off by default. When the
box is checked the Task Scheduler will query Dynamics GP about every
minute. If the box is left unchecked then the box will not query the database
but rather run when it is triggered by the time. If the checkbox is checked we
recommend unchecking it so a Login screen does not popup when logging
into Dynamics GP. You should set this up before you open Dynamics GP.

To Setup Task Scheduler:
1. Open the Task Scheduler Setup window: Right click

2. Enter in a login name to the computer that has
Administrative privileges. Enter the password for the
login.
3. Click the OK button.
Set Auto Batch Creation Time
The Set Auto Batch Creation Time window will take documents created in
Great Plains and automatically create credit card transactions for them. You
no longer have to wait for the eTransaction Entry screen to open, and click
the batch button, to put the document inside of a batch. Batches will be
created using the default information for customers. The difference between
this feature and the one inside Great Plains is that you can schedule times for
a batch to be created. You can setup multiple times for the same batch
name and source to be created. Once the batch is created you can open it
up in Great Plains.

For each Setup ID, a settlement time can be entered to run the End Of Day
procedure automatically in the background. The Dynamics needs to be up
and running at the scheduled time in order to settle the transactions properly.
The process will simply ignore if the Dynamics is not up at the scheduled
settlement time. Clicking the “OK” button saves the schedule. Users can also
click the “Run End Of Day Procedure” button to run the process manually at
any time.
Note:
Task Scheduler is not compatible with Windows
NT.
WARNING:
You need to run the End Of Day process daily in
order to make the Void process working
properly. The End of Day process can be
triggered by clicking “Run End Of Day
Procedure” button on the End Of Day Scheduler
window, or by opening the End Of Day
procedure window in CCA, or by setting the
settlement time and leaving the Dynamics
running.

Problem
Remedies
‘Transaction Failure’
Be sure Setup is correct
Be sure Internet connection is live
Be sure operating system is Windows 2000, NT or
XP.
Internet connection failed while processing a
batch of credit card transactions
Transactions in a batch are sent one-by-one. The
transactions that were sent before the connection
went down will process as normal. Any
transactions left unprocessed in the batch at the
time the connection goes down will be mark as
‘Denied’ and moved to a denied batch. The denied
batch may be resubmitted 'as is' when the Internet
connection is restored.
‘Transaction Type Invalid’ for any type
Be sure you have not used the Dynamics Credit
Card Payment Process to record a payment. If
you have, delete the payment and re-enter it
through CCA.
‘Processing Engine not installed’
You are missing the ‘PluginGlue.dll’. Re-install
CCA using the CCA*.exe
The list of Connectors or Processors is empty in
the Credit Card Advantage Setup window.
The Configuration files are missing or not installed
correctly. Try running the install again.
The installation is not putting the files into the
correct locations.
Uninstall the software. Make sure you log into the
