chargebacks and resubmitted items. It can also be used to find system generated fee items such as
transaction processing fees and return fees.
Click on the Transactions Query button to begin a search. Enter the pertinent information in the
fields in the Item Query Criteria portion of the screen, and click the Submit button to display the
results of your search.

Italics = Settlement Items are credits to the client account that offset consumer
debits.
Red = Rejected, declined, voided are items that have not been processed.
Reference number is a hyperlink to a detailed information screen.
Note: When processing in the BankServ system V3, a chargeback will result in the creation of a
new separate transaction with TYPE = CHARGEBACK. Any query that includes
chargebacks and is not limited by type will display two records, one with the Type/Status
display of ORIGINAL CHARGEBACKED and another with CHARGEBACK
CHARGEBACKED. The ORIGINAL CHARGEBACKED item is a placeholder for the
status change of the original item. The CHARGEBACK CHARGEBACKED item is the
one that will debit the client’s account. See Check Detail for cross referencing.
Note: Scrolling to the bottom of any Query Results screen will bring you to the Export Button
(See page 16 for functionality), and to item count and dollar amount totals. These totals
are of absolute value, do not differentiate between credits and debits, and will NOT
accurately reflect the activity of the queried time period unless the query is limited by
TYPE and STATUS (See Appendix B).
