Transaction Cancellation Processing

6.2.12 Transaction Cancellation Processing

Transaction Cancellation Processing is a process by which a bank or financial institution can cancel a payment transaction after it has been initiated, before it has been fully settled or processed.

The transaction can get canceled from an exception queue either manually or automatically based on the response from an external system.

Below processing, steps are trigged during cancellation processing:

Sanctions Check are triggered. If cancellation is triggered from Sanction Check, ECA, Business Override queue, Exchange Rate Queue, then the Sanctions Check is done considering sanction retry days value maintained.
A record is logged into FX unwind (if cross-currency transaction & FX Reference exists).
No accounting entry is posted.

After successful completion of all cancellation processing steps, the Return transaction status is marked as Cancelled and the Original transaction status is marked as Processed.
