Reporting

Reporting Requirements

Elavon requires merchant systems to provide terminal parameters and CAPK reports when requested.

Reporting Best Practices

  • If the merchant system supports PIN bypass then Elavon recommends to report corresponding information in the EMV statistic report for PIN entry errors and exceptions.

  • Elavon recommends merchant system to generate terminal configuration report from the point of sale.

  • Elavon recommends POS entry mode data to be extracted in the reports generated by the merchant.

The following reports are optional and may be required by Elavon upon request:

EMV Statistic Report:


The EMV Statistic report provides details on the number of chip transactions executed at the point of sale, number of chip read failures, pin entry errors, offline declines and technical fallbacks since the last batch close. The results should refresh with a successful settlement at the host. These details are important for Elavon in case of disputes, chargebacks, and any investigation purposes. Below are the details to be included in the report:

  • Number of chip card read failures
  • Number of PIN entry errors
  • Number of offline funds declined
  • Number of technical fallbacks

Chip Transaction Report


The Chip transaction report provides details on the number of chip transactions executed at the point of sale. This information is required by Elavon for analysis and investigation purposes.

POS Entry Mode Report


Point of Sale Entry mode is an important factor to know in order to determine the transaction conditions with chip and non-chip transactions. Elavon requires merchants to provide this information when requested.

EMV Offline Declined Transaction Report


From an operational perspective, Elavon requires a report on the EMV offline declined transactions at the point of sale. The terminal application parameters and the data from the last offline declined transaction must be available on request. This may include DE 55 (a block containing multiple EMV tags in TLV format), Terminal and Issuer Action Codes, truncated PAN as printed on the receipt, and Application PAN Sequence Number, if present.

Merchants shall report this in the below format.
