Blocking and authorization filters

Filters are defined for a specific participant and account number. The type of filter, authorization or blocking, and the transaction type are required fields for the filters. Specify any additional fields as required to narrow the scope of the filter. For example, if no additional information is entered for the filter, the blocking filter rejects all transactions of the selected transaction type for the account number. The authorization filter accepts all transactions of the selected transaction type for the account number.

The following data fields may be provided when defining blocking and authorization filters:
  • transaction type - debit, credit, or any
  • company ID or name
  • message type
  • amount - specified as a single value or as a range
  • effective date
