Create a "Mastercard" Payment/Refund Accounting Code (Cloud)
In Visual Matrix, Visa and Mastercard payments/refunds are grouped under a single code, VS/MC Payment (and VS/MC Refund). If you need to separate them, you'll first need to create a new code for Mastercard payment/refund and then update the Visa accounting codes accordingly. The following steps will guide you through the process of creating the new MC codes. For assistance with setting up the same codes for Advance Deposits, please contact the Visual Matrix Client Experience team.
Be sure to complete both steps of the process to prevent future reporting discrepancies.
