Customized File Delivery
With customized file delivery, TC33-CAP files are always expedited and sent by Visa
to you as soon as they are provided by the
Visa Acceptance Platform
. The file

customizable and configured based on information populated in the Acquirer
Implementation Questionnaire.The customized delivery files are delivered separately from all other files. The
customized delivery file can be identified by the value
VCAPF

the Customized Delivery File Type
field, ITF TC 90, TCR 0, position
109-113.Contact your Visa Regional Implementation Manager for setting up customized file
delivery. This delivery option is recommended for easier differentiation of capture
records during processing.
Non-Customized File Delivery
With non-customized file delivery, TC33-CAP files can be received as either
non-consolidated and expedited, or consolidated and not expedited, as shown below.
Again, the file creation time, including transaction cut-off time and file delivery,
are all customizable and configured at the
Visa Acceptance Platform
based on
information populated in the Acquirer Implementation Questionnaire.- Non-consolidated and expedited: capture records are contained in an undifferentiated file that is delivered to you as soon as it is provided by theVisa Acceptance Platform.
- Consolidated and un-expedited: capture records are mixed with other transactions in an undifferentiated file and delivered to you after settlement for the day is complete.
Undifferentiated files are identified by a value of UNDIF in the BASE II Customized
Delivery File Type field, positions 100-113 of the TCR 0—Incoming ITF record in the
TC 90—Header Record.
