Authorization Report

The Authorization Report provides Authorization transaction summary data for your organization, as well as granular data with several presentation options.

Initially, the bottom frame defaults to the By Activity Data data presentation method.

2. Specify the desired Date Range and Reporting Group and click View to refresh the page.

   See Notes on Reporting Group Limits for information on the report groups shown in the Reporting Group drop-down selector.

   • Authorization Report by Activity Date (default view).

   • Authorization Report by Payment Method.

   • Authorization Report by Reason.

   • Authorization Report - All Currencies.
