Elavon supports two types of processing with this file format, Batch Level and Transaction Level. Batch Level processing is supported on our Account System for our North America and Canada activity. Transaction Level processing is supported on our Account System for International activity.
Batch Level Processing:
Records will be arranged such that each file begins with a File Header Record (TFH). Immediately following the TFH will be a Batch Header Record (TBH) indicating the beginning of the first batch.
If more than one currency is in the file, a separate batch must be submitted for each currency within the file.
Within a batch, single or multiple Transaction Advice Basic (TAB) records may be provided. In addition, each TAB may be followed by a single Transaction Auxiliary Record (TAR), Transaction Airline Addendum (TAA) record, Transaction Car Rental Addendum (TCR) record, Transaction Hotel/Lodging Addendum (THL) record, Transaction Chip Card Addendum (TCC) record, Transaction Installment Addendum (TIL) record, Merchant Address Addendum (TMA) record, Transaction Visa Fleet Card (TVF) record, Transaction MasterCard Fleet Card (TMF) record, Transaction Visa Line Item Detail Addendum (TVL) record or Transaction MasterCard Line Item Detail Addendum (TML) record. Multiple Line Item Detail Addendums (TVL or TML) are allowed per TAB record.
A Batch Trailer Record (TBT) will immediately follow the last record in a batch, while a File Summary Record (TFS) will follow the last Batch Trailer Record (TBT).
