Transaction Declines
Thredd Portal allows you to find out details on various types of transaction declines.

From the list of transaction results, Thredd Portal shows entries with the Declined status in the Transaction Status column.
You can also find information on why the transactions was declined which is recorded in the Transaction Note. This includes transactions where the decline was initiated by either Thredd or the client (your programme). Declines initiated by the client include EHI transactions.

The cardholder transaction note shows as "disallowed list" because the merchant (card acceptor id) is not allowed for the transaction. This is per the card acceptor disallowed list assigned to the card.
Solution: You can associate the card to a card acceptor list that allows transactions from the merchant through the below steps:
-
Identify the card number for the transaction.
-
Go to Card Actions > Edit Card Configurations.
-
Select a Card Acceptor List.
-
To confirm the change, click Review and Save.
-
Check the updated details and click Save.

Solution: Load funds onto the card.
-
Identify the card token for the transaction.
-
Go to Card Actions > Card Load/Unload.
-
In the window, select to load the card and click Next.
-
Review the balances for loading and click Next.
-
To confirm the change, click Review and Save.

To resolve this issue, you may need to change the Group Usage for the card. You should confirm that this is the right course of action, as it may require that you receive sign-off from the Issuer.
-
Identify the card token that you identified for the transaction.
-
Go to Card Actions > Edit Card Configurations.
-
Enter a different Group Usage.
-
Review the balances for loading and click Next.
-
To confirm the change, click Review and Save.

You should follow the below steps:
-
Enter the card token that you identified for the transaction.
-
Check the Expire date on the image of the card against the Card Status, which shows as Expired.
-
Advise the cardholder on next steps, for example, how to renew the card.

A transaction may be declined due to fraud. You may need to contact Thredd to investigate the fraud. You can also change the status of the card from 05 - Do Not Honour to 00- Active through the following steps:
-
Enter the card token that you identified for the transaction.
-
Check the transaction list to identify entries in the Notes field indicating that fraud has been captured in Thredd's Fraud Transaction Monitoring system.
-
To allow the transaction to be accepted, go to Card Actions > Change Card Status.
-
Click Next.
-
Select the following status code from the check box: 00 - Active.
-
Click Next.
-
Click Save.

If the transaction is declined because it failed the MCC group check, you should consider permitting transactions from the MCC by updating the entry in Group MCC. Contact Thredd to update the MCC group.
To change the group limit, do the following:
-
Enter the card token for the identified transaction.
-
To allow the transaction to be accepted, go to Card Actions > Edit Cardholder Configurations.
-
Under the Edit Card Configurations screen for the token, update the group in Group MCC.
-
To confirm the change, click Review and Save.
-
Check the updated details and click Save.

This description indicates that the authorisation value (bill amount) is higher than the maximum amount per transaction limit in the Limit group assigned to the card. You can update the transaction limit setting on the card to allow higher value transactions that do not exceed the limit.
To change the group limit, do the following:
-
Enter the card token for the identified transaction.
-
To allow the transaction to be accepted, go to Card Actions > Edit Cardholder Configurations.
-
Under the Edit Card Configurations screen for the token, update the group in Group Limit.
-
To confirm the change, click Review and Save.
-
Check the updated details and click Save.

This reason indicates that EHI didn't respond in the agreed time where a timeout happened.
If the client has selected Gateway Processing with STIP (Mode 4 ), Thredd approves or declines based on the product configuration, as the host is unavailable. If another EHI mode is selected, such as Gateway Processing (Mode 1) or Cooperative Processing (Mode 2), Thredd declines the transaction. You can do the following:
-
Investigate why the External Host did not respond in time.
-
Contact Thredd to assist in any further investigation.

This indicates that the authorisation was declined by your systems which are connected to EHI. Check your systems for the decline reason.
Check the external host for the decline reason.
Smart Client Migration
If you are a Smart Client user, you will need to migrate to Thredd Portal. Smart Client provides the same card management functions, but using a legacy Windows interface.

Q. Migration normally takes a few days to complete. This requires setup which Thredd will complete. However, clients will need to provide details to help Thredd perform the setup steps.

Yes, you can continue to use Smart Client during the migration period.

Thredd Portal is been designed with self-service in mind. Users can enter their email and be provisioned on Thredd Portal by the User Admin role within your organisation. You are in control of who has access to which roles within Thredd Portal.
Secure Access with SSO

You will need to configure secure access to Thredd Portal using Thredd's Identity Provider (IDP). The steps are as follows:
- Thredd adds a ‘User Admin’ for your organisation to the Identity Provider (this information is supplied by the client).
- You can then add your organisation, assign roles and add users in the Identity Provider - this is done by the ‘User Admin’ role which you have chosen in your organisation.
For more information, see the Connecting to Thredd guide. (link)
A member of our Engineering Security Team can be able to support you during your SSO integration should this be required, however, the process has been designed to be completed with minimal set-up.
