Use the Questionable Merchant Category Codes monitor type to flag transactions completed at merchants that belong to a specific Merchant Category Code. This monitor type allows you to track transactions on a broader level.
Merchant Category Codes are assigned by the card association (Visa and MasterCard) and cannot be modified in PaymentNet.
To configure compliance monitoring for questionable Merchant Category Codes:
Select Administration > Hierarchy > Settings > Compliance Monitoring.
Enter the hierarchy ID in the Hierarchy ID field, or click the link and select a node from the hierarchy tree.
Select Override inheritance and click Save.
Note:The Override inheritance check box overrides the settings from the parent hierarchy ID, which is listed in the Inherited from field. This allows you to configure the Compliance Monitoring settings differently for the selected hierarchy ID. If this check box is not selected, you will not be able to make any changes on this screen, and the selected hierarchy ID will retain the settings of the parent node.
For the Questionable Merchant Category Codes monitor type, click Add.
In the Monitor Name field, enter a unique name to identify the monitor.
Click Add.
In the Merchant Category Code field, enter the MCC value or description of the MCC you want to monitor. As you enter characters in this field, a list of MCCs that match the entered text is displayed. Select the MCC you want to monitor.
Optionally, to monitor another MCC, click Add and repeat the previous step. You can add up to 100 MCCs.
Click Save.
