File Delivery Options

This section describes delivery options for TC33-CAP files.

Customized File Delivery

With customized file delivery, TC33-CAP files are always expedited and sent by Visa to you as soon as they are provided by the

Visa Acceptance Platform

. The file creation time, including transaction cutoff time and file delivery to Visa, are all customizable and configured based on information populated in the Acquirer Implementation Questionnaire.

The customized delivery files are delivered separately from all other files. The customized delivery file can be identified by the value

VCAPF

in the Customized Delivery File Type
field, ITF TC 90, TCR 0, position 109-113.

Contact your Visa Regional Implementation Manager for setting up customized file delivery. This delivery option is recommended for easier differentiation of capture records during processing.

Non-Customized File Delivery

With non-customized file delivery, TC33-CAP files can be received as either non-consolidated and expedited, or consolidated and not expedited, as shown below. Again, the file creation time, including transaction cut-off time and file delivery, are all customizable and configured at the

Visa Acceptance Platform

based on information populated in the Acquirer Implementation Questionnaire.

Non-consolidated and expedited: capture records are contained in an undifferentiated file that is delivered to you as soon as it is provided by the

Visa Acceptance Platform

Consolidated and un-expedited: capture records are mixed with other transactions in an undifferentiated file and delivered to you after settlement for the day is complete.

Undifferentiated files are identified by a value of UNDIF in the BASE II Customized Delivery File Type field, positions 100-113 of the TCR 0—Incoming ITF record in the TC 90—Header Record.

The following table shows the delivery options for the TC33-CAP file.
