Payment cards : authorization not received on certain days

[Former Member]

Dear fellow SAP users,

We use the payment cards feature but we do not need to connect to a clearing house because we know that the credit cards are actually valid.

In order to by pass the connection to a clearing house, we copied the standard CCARD_AUTH_SIMULATION function and kept only the "approved" part.

This works fine except for the sales created on certain days (namely Saturdays).

For these orders, it looks as if no call is even made to the function module because the call status in the sales order is blank ("Not relevant").

Could this be due to the factory calendar (Saturday is not a workday in the calendar we use) or something similar ?

Your help is highly appreciated because I am getting crazy with this issue !

VQ.

Hello Vincent

Check how you have set up any Authorization Horizon or Requirements.

SPRO/IMG/Sales and Distribution/Billing/Payment Cards/Authorization and Settlement/Specify Authorization Validity Periods

or

SPRO/IMG/Sales and Distribution/Billing/Payment Cards/Authorization and Settlement/Maintain Authorization Requirements

Hope this helps, let me know.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your help.

The issue was indeed related to the authorization horizon.
