Informational Cash Flow

The Informational Cash Flow report is a report aimed at giving merchant visibility about when a transaction will be paid, independently on it being billed or not. The most relevant information is the Expected Funding Date field, even though this has to be taken as an indication and not a commitment (subsequent events might change the value – which will always be visible in the subsequent reports, updated).

The content of the report changes as the transactions are enriched with more elements and fees, and eventually it disappears from the report when it’s funded (hence this report complements the Funding report).

The Informational Cash Flow report is generated and delivered daily, provided a merchant has transactions yet to be funded. The purpose of the Informational Cash Flow report is to help enable transaction-level reconciliation.

This report is provided in a comma-separated values (.CSV) file format and is delivered through Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) folder. The file is formatted in such a way that reseller clients, enterprises and marketplaces can automate the processing of the report data into their existing systems.

The .csv version of the Transaction report is formatted with the file name: •

  • For enterprises and marketplaces: informational_cash_flow_report_<AccountID>_yyyymmddhhmmss>.csv
  • For reseller clients: informational_cash_flow_report_<PartnerID>_yyyymmddhhmmss>.csv

Reseller clients, enterprises and marketplaces can also integrate transaction reporting data into their existing systems via API. See the Retrieve payments section of our API documentation under Get all transactions and Get transaction by ID for more details.

NP Transaction ID​

When a transaction is processed by the uP Platform, it will be assigned a unique identifier, called NP Transaction ID. The NP transaction ID will stay intact throughout the lifecycle of a transaction. Any Transaction Status change will trigger the NP Transaction ID to reappear with the most recent lifecycle status. This also means that the NP Transaction ID can appear more than once in a Transaction report for a given day.

note
  • Enterprises and marketplaces will receive 1 report which contains all their daily transactions.
  • Reseller clients will receive 1 report which contains all daily transactions for their onboarded merchants.

All report fields are explained in the Report Data section below.

Data from the Transaction report is available via API. See the Retrieve payments section of our API documentation under Get all transactions and Get transaction by ID for more details.
