Exchange Card 
Use
This function enables you to create a replacement card, an early renewal card, or a duplicate for an existing card in the system.
You need a replacement card if the current card has been lost or stolen. Depending on the Customizing setting for the card product, the valid-to date is either transferred from the original card or recalculated. The replacement card receives a new card number.
An early renewal card can be useful if, for example, a customer will be spending a long period abroad and would like to extend the card in advance. The early renewal card has a new valid-to date. The card number can be transferred from the original card or a new card number can be assigned.
A duplicate is required if the original card has been damaged in such a way that the functions are impaired. The duplicate has the same valid-on date and card number as the original card.
Integration
The Exchange Card function results in the creation of a card with the attribute replacement card, renewal card without new number, renewal card, or duplicate.
If you create a replacement card or renewal card, the processor requests these cards through the ordering file.
When a duplicate or renewal card is created without a new card number, the data is transferred to the processor as a master data change.
