SECTION I

DESCRIPTION OF DATA ELEMENTS

ELAVON GLOBAL SETTLEMENT FILE (EGSF)

File Considerations

The Elavon Global Settlement File (EGSF) for Visa/MasterCard/Discover processing is created

by the merchant and transmitted via a network connection to Elavon’s data center. If this file is

being used to pass Discover transactions to Elavon, this means the merchant must be set up

under the Discover Acquiring program which means Elavon will be handling all parts of the

process (including delivering statements and funding the merchant). Not all merchants are

eligible to participate in Discover Acquiring, please check with Elavon to ensure you are eligible

to participate in Discover Acquiring before including Discover transactions in this file.

This file format is also used in some cases to pass information along to other card plans,

American Express, JCB, or Diners. For these card plans the information received is passed

unchanged to the applicable card plan. Elavon is not responsible for interchange/qualification

for these card plans as it is simply passing the information received on to the card plan and is not

privy to the pricing/interchange associated with the client and the specific card plan.

Data Fields

All data fields in the header, trailer and summary records must be filled by the merchant as

indicated in the Elavon Global Settlement File (EGSF) specification.

Data fields cannot be packed. Lower case alphabetic characters are not permitted.

All unused character positions, except for numeric fields, will be expressed by blanks in the low

order of the field.

Alphabetic and Alphanumeric data element fields shall contain left-justified strings of characters.

Spaces are acceptable if no value is entered by the merchant.

All dates shall be in the format YYMMDD where “YY” denotes the year, “MM” denotes the

month, and “DD” denotes the day unless otherwise indicated.

The Elavon Global Settlement File (EGSF) file format is a fixed record length of 500 bytes in

each record.


Numeric fields will be right-justified, left zero-filled and unsigned unless otherwise specified. If

the field is noted as a signed field, meaning if the file total is negative the last position of the

field would contain a letter or symbol. Valid values to be used if negative amount are listed

below. These values are case sensitive:

} = 0

J = 1

K = 2

L = 3

M = 4

N = 5

O= 6

P = 7

Q = 8

R = 9

For example if the file total is negative $256.25, this field would contain 000000002562N

International activity.

BATCH LEVEL PROCESSING:

Records will be arranged such that each file begins with a File Header Record (TFH).

Immediately following the TFH will be a Batch Header Record (TBH) indicating the beginning

of the first batch.

If more than one currency is in the file, a separate batch must be submitted for each currency

within the file.

Within a batch, single or multiple Transaction Advice Basic (TAB) records may be provided. In

addition, each TAB may be followed by a single Transaction Auxiliary Record (TAR),

TFS File Summary (one per file)


Multi-Currency Transactions vs Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) Transactions

DCC is the conversion of the purchase price of goods or services from the currency in which the purchase price is

displayed in another currency. DCC (conversion of the merchant currency to the cardholder currency) occurs at the

point of sale.

Multi-currency is where the merchant supports multiple currencies for good or services yet receives payment from

Elavon in a different currency regardless of the cardholder currency. The conversion of the currencies is completed

behind the scenes.

DCC and Multi-Currency are mutually exclusive. One merchant number cannot support both. Separate merchant

numbers would need to be set up, one for DCC and one for Multi-Currency.

A Multi-Currency transaction is authorized for the amount of the sale in the local currency whereas a DCC

transaction is authorized in the cardholder’s currency based on a converted amount from the local currency.

In addition to the basic transaction information, the below additional fields are optional for Multi-Currency

transactions: If they are populated they must align with the transaction amount and transaction currency code.

Cardholder Amount located in the TAB record positions 294-306

Cardholder Currency Code located in the TAB record positions 307-309

In addition to the basic transaction information, the below additional fields are required for DCC (Dynamic

Currency Conversion) transactions:

Cardholder Amount located in the TAB record positions 294-306

Cardholder Currency Code located in the TAB record positions 307-309

Conversion Rate located in the TAB record positions 310-317

Dynamic Currency Conversion Exponent located in the TAB record position 381

An example of a multi-currency transaction where the cardholder is a US cardholder traveling to Rome on holiday.

The cardholder purchases some gifts while in Rome at a local store. The purchase amount is 56 €. The cardholder

presents their Visa card and pays 56 €. When the merchant creates the EGSF settlement file they will populate all

the basic information for the transaction and will populate the amount fields as indicated below:

Transaction amount - 0000000005600

Cardholder Amount - 0000000005600

Cardholder Currency Code will be 978

Transaction Currency Code will be 978

Settlement Currency will be 840

In the above example the cardholder will be charged 56 € and the merchant will be paid $64.11 in US Dollars from

Elavon.

An example of a DCC transaction where the cardholder is a US cardholder traveling to Paris on holiday. The

cardholder purchases some drinks and snacks at the airport. When paying for their purchase they use their Visa card

and are prompted at the point of sale asking which currency they would like to pay in – US Dollars or Euros. The

transaction amount is 13.33 Euro converting to $15 US dollars. The cardholder selects US Dollars. When the

merchant creates the EGSF settlement file they will populate all the basic transaction information and will populate

the amount fields as such:

Transaction amount - 0000000001333

Cardholder Amount - 0000000001500

Cardholder Currency Code will be 840

Transaction Currency Code will be 978

In the above example the cardholder will be charged $15.00 US Dollars and the merchant will be paid 13.33 Euros

from Elavon.


AMOUNT FORMATING

The EGSF settlement file format has many amount fields within it. The amount fields are just a string of numbers.

The EGSF is a global format supporting multiple currencies; decimal placement can vary within the file for specific

fields. If the file contains only U.S. and Canadian activity two decimals will always be implied. Other countries

have varying decimal placement.

When populating the Transaction Amount field, the decimal placement should be determined using the transaction

currency code in conjunction with the number of minor units (decimals) according to the International Standards

Organization (ISO).

For example:

If submitting a transaction for $235.68 US Dollars where the decimal placement is 2, the transaction

amount field would contain 0000000023568 and the transaction currency code field would contain 840.

If submitting a transaction for $74.36 Canadian Dollars where the decimal placement is 2, the transaction


If submitting a transaction for 15 Japanese Yen where the decimal placement is 0, the transaction amount

field would contain 0000000000015 and the transaction currency code field would contain 392.

If submitting a transaction for 35 Jordanian Dollars where the decimal placement is 3, the transaction


DYNAMIC DATA

The EGSF settlement file format has the ability to support merchant dynamic data at a transaction level. Dynamic

data fields provide a client the ability to customize certain fields. These fields are used for a variety of reasons one

of which is for Payment Facilitator transactions, which require additional information about the sub-merchants for

that Payment Facilitator. A Payment Facilitator also known as a Payment Service Provider (PSP) or Merchant

Aggregator is an entity which accepts transactions on behalf of its sub-merchants including multiple business lines

or segments and must be registered with the card associations as such.

Below is a list of dynamic data fields available within the TMA record. Please refer to the glossary of data elements

for definitions of each.

Dynamic Merchant State

Dynamic Merchant Zip Code

Dynamic Merchant Country Code

Dynamic Merchant Street Address

Dynamic Merchant Phone Number
