INVALID EXP DATE

Expiration date entered is incorrect, invalid or no longer current.

NO TRAN FOUND

Failed Reversal attempt.

INV ITEM NUMBER

Typically triggered by an invalid RefNo used in VoidSales or an Adjust.

REV OUTSIDE WIN

Reversal Outside Window:

Reversal transaction was received, but the original matching authorization request was processed more than 25 minutes ago and is no longer eligible to be reversed. (Applicable to Credit Host Capture only)

If the POS has received a RW response (25 minutes after the original Authorization), the transaction cannot be reversed (voided). The Merchant must issue a refund.

Action: If possible and the card can be present, run a general refund for the amount or contact the processor for reversing the charges.

Note: This is a First Datawire Nashville process to prevent fraud, were they run a process called "Sweeps" that is used to clear off the data for authorizations. This can cause an Added Tip fail, if the authorization was more than 25 min earlier.
