This typically occurs on TSYS applications. It means there is a bad transaction in the
batch.
To resolve this issue the reseller or merchant needs to contact the host to find out which transaction has an issue and collect the card information needed i.e transaction number, last 4 of the card used, and the transaction amount.
The ISO should contact the host for the transaction information so that the transaction can be re-run as Forced. Do not clear the transaction from the terminal until the transaction information has been secured with the host.
