A user-definable identification feature to further specify the response of an exception based on the response category.

 

The response type controls how the system responds when an error occurs in a payment order, an ordering party item, a recipient item, or other Payment Engine objects.

You can define response types in Customizing for Payment Engine under   Exception Control   Define Response Types  .

The system determines a response type for a specific error based on rule sets. For more information, see Response Type Determination Using Rule Sets.

Integration

The following characteristics define a response type:

  • Clearing area

    A response type is valid in a defined clearing area.

    For more information, see Clearing Area.

  • Response category

    A response type is based on a predefined response category. You can define several response types for the same response category.

    For more information, see Response Category.

  • Priority

    When an object is processed and then sent to Exception Control, an error can trigger several different response types. The priority attached to the various response types determines which response type the system actually uses.
