CIM Refund ERR E00027 in test mode

[sathumenon]

Hi

I am doing a refund in test mode. I am getting a response 

"<code>E00027</code><text>The referenced transaction does not meet the criteria for issuing a credit."

The transaction for this refund was made on December and will end only by Jan 20. 

What can be the reason for declining this? 

Thank You

Since you are using CIM, could they have updated the CC# on the payment profile which the refund transaction need for the transaction.

no CC# has been changed since the first transaction

we used demo card numbers only. is that the reason for this?

Hi 

i could see that all my transactions are unsettled. Is that a reason for not accepting the refund option?

Can any one help me on this?

Yep, that would be it, you can only refund a settled transaction, use void for unsettled transaction.

The test account should settled all transaction everyday just like the production account. Are they waiting for capture?

Authorized/Pending Capture? or Captured/Pending Settlement?

Hello

Yes I can see that my all transactions are Authorised / Pending Caprture - ONce i selected a few and did a Group Capture - The selected ones are now "Pending Settlement" 

So only after the settlement is done the refund may occure right?

What if I make all transaction as void?

THank you

Just wait until tomorrow, it should settled overnight.

Yes.

That mean you cancel the transaction, and the customer will not get charge.
