Transactions

Type

The Type field in the Transaction Object categorizes the nature of the transaction and its financial impact to the consumer Contract.

  • PMT (Payment): Represents cash transactions where a positive amount decreases the consumer's balance. Includes payments via ACH, check, payment card, and refund-related entries.

  • Adj (Adjustment): Represents non-cash transactions. A positive value increases the consumer balance, and a negative value decreases it. Adjustments are used for balance corrections, write-offs, returns, cancellations, and other similar purposes.

  • Fee: Represents fees assessed to the account. Positive values increase the consumer balance.

  • AGING: Represents past due re-aging adjustments for reporting purposes. These do not affect the consumer balance.
