Wallet Transaction Types
User definable types are used to distinguish between wallet transactions of the same classification. Classifications define the operational characteristics of each transaction.
For example, create two separate transaction types of classification wallet credit, in order to differentiate between transactions that fund the wallet by credit card or with a voucher.
There are five predefined transaction classifications:
- Wallet Credit funds the wallet.
- Wallet Debit deducts funds from the wallet.
- Wallet Reimburse takes funds from the wallet and credits the accounts receivable of the owner.
- Wallet Void transactions reverse and cancel Credit, Debit and Reimburse transactions.
- Wallet Transfer moves money from one wallet to another.
If multiple types are created for each classification, then a default type must be selected for each one. Use Set as Default from the Data Entry page or Change Default from the Summary page Actions menu, to set the default type.
Once transaction types are created, define what type of transactions will result from the execution of specific events in the wallet definition.
Definition
Wallets definition is a set of business rules that are used to control the behavior of wallets throughout their life cycle.

Wallet Causes Events that cause automatic wallet actions | |
|---|---|
| Create Wallets | Wallets are created when a prepaid subscription, rewards participant or (optionally) an accounts receivable is created. |
| Cancel Wallets | Wallets are canceled when an accounts receivable is terminated. Optionally, define whether a wallet should be canceled when it is no longer associated with a prepaid subscription and/or rewards participant. This can happen when:
|
| Debit Wallets | Wallets are debited when:
The credit note type that will be used to credit the account of the wallet can be defined. It is also possible to define whether a wallet should be debited when funds are used to settle an invoice or bill associated with the accounts receivable (using only the unconditional wallet balance). For each case, it is possible to define a debit wallet transaction type other than the default. |
| Credit Wallets | Wallets are credited when:
The invoice type that will be used to debit the account of the wallet can be defined. For each case, it is possible to define a credit wallet transaction type other than the default. |
Reimburse Wallets
| When a wallet is canceled its balance is returned to the wallet's associated accounts receivable (the funds are preserved). The accounts receivable is reimbursed: |
Wallets & Wallet Transactions
What do Wallets & Wallet Transactions manuals cover?
For each case, it is possible to define a reimburse wallet transaction type other than the default. | |
| Void Wallet Transactions | Wallet transactions are voided when:
Specific payment cancellation types can be defined to void wallet transactions. For each case, it is possible to define a void wallet transaction type other than the default. |
|---|---|
Wallet Rules | |
Balance Threshold Rules | Define the minimum acceptable wallet balance. The threshold value can be positive or negative. It is user-definable, inclusive and '0' by default. If the balance drops below the threshold, the system blocks debit transactions (including reimburse, transfers or voiding of credit). |
| Wallet Transaction Limits | Defines rules that are used to set the maximum total of debit and credit wallet transaction within a day or year. E.g., Credit = 50 and Debit = 50 total = 100 and which can differentiate based on KYC profile or accounts classification. Limits can be set to consider all wallet transaction types or specific types. |
| Crediting Rules | Define rules for crediting a wallet. If Debit the Related Accounts Receivable is enabled, select a debit financial transaction type and product to be used for debiting the account. A credit wallet transaction type can be defined as the trigger. |
| Reimbursing Rules | Define the rules for reimbursing an accounts receivable when a wallet is terminated to preserve the funds. If Credit the Related Accounts Receivable is enabled, select a credit financial transaction typeand product and a limit on the maximum amount that the account can be reimbursed. A reimburse wallet transaction type can be defined as the trigger. |
| Voiding Rules | Define the rules for voiding wallet transactions.
|
Wallet balance periods
A wallet balance period is the monthly time frame during which the balance of the wallet is calculated. The opening balance of a wallet is the sum of the balance brought forward from the previous (closed) period and balance resulting from transactions in the current (open) period.
The first period is automatically created by the system. The next period is created once the current one is closed (using the Closing Period process). Closed periods cannot be opened again or register new wallet transactions. Wallet transactions can only be posted against the one open period.
To close an open period from the Data Entry page, click on Calculate Wallet Balance Per Period available through the Actions menu. To view a list of errors identified while calculating the period, click on View Wallet Balance Per Period Errors available through the Actions menu.

Creating and processing wallets
| Note |
|---|
Actions are subject to validations that take place before an action is initiated (prerequisite) or after it is submitted (post-condition). |
Selecting and creating a wallet
...
Wallets are created manually and automatically (according to the configurations of the wallet definition).
To create a wallet manually:
Under Manage Wallets specify the criteria that match the wallets you are interested in or use NEW from the Actions menu on the Summary page. Define the accounts receivable that the wallet is created for and click SAVE to create the wallet.
Wallets are created automatically when:
- A new accounts receivable is created
- An accounts receivable that is not already associated with a wallet is added on a prepaid subscription or rewards participant.
| Postconditions | Only one wallet with an 'Effective' life cycle state can be associated with an accounts receivable at a time. |
|---|
Modifying a wallet
...
With the exception of the accounts receivable field which is selected when the wallet is created, values of the wallets Data Entry page are read-only and automatically updated by system events. Balance information, transaction information, and balance breakdown are updated when a prepaid billing run is executed; wallet information is updated when rewards are awarded or spent.
Canceling a wallet
...
Wallets are canceled (instead of deleted) so that their information is retained. Wallets are canceled manually or automatically.
To manually cancel a wallet from the Data Entry page use Cancel Wallet action available in the Actions Panel.
A wallet is canceled automatically when:
- The associated accounts receivable is terminated
- The accounts receivable on a prepaid subscription is replaced by another
- A prepaid subscription related to the accounts receivable is terminated
- A rewards participant related to the accounts receivable is terminated
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
...
The following processes result in a wallet being funded:
Manually creating a credit wallet transaction
Credit wallet transactions (which increase the funds available in the wallet) can be created by selecting NEW from the wallet transaction Data Entry page or by selecting Credit Wallet from the Actions Panel of the wallet Data Entry page.
Topping up a wallet
Funds are deducted from a wallet when a prepaid subscription is charged or when awards are redeemed. When the balance falls below a predetermined threshold the system can use the subscriber's online payment system (e.g., credit card or PayPal) to top the wallet up and avoid the interruption of services.
Top up rules must be set up in the wallet definition and associated payment gateway run.
Posting a payment or credit note
The system can be configured to automatically credit the wallet when a payment or credit note is posted in an accounts receivable.
Transferring money from one wallet to another with an action
Transferring money from the account to the wallet (as long as the account balance is less than zero)
Executing a prepaid billing run (to bill Prepaid subscription services)
If a prepaid service is removed before being fully consumed, the billing run credits the wallet with the unused amount.
Creating an award transaction
Awards are funds that credit the wallet of reward participants and can be redeemed for goods and services. Although awarded funds appear available in the wallet, spending them can be subject to conditions or restrictions. For example, a €20 award that must be spent on a Monday.
Most award transactions are triggered by the creation of customer events.
Canceling a spend transaction - Voiding
The wallets of reward participants are credited with awards and administer how the awards are redeemed. When an award is redeemed funds are debited from the participant's wallet. Funds can be returned to the wallet by voiding the debit wallet transaction (e.g., in case the participant returns a product bought with awarded cash).
Canceling an expiration transaction - Voiding
Funds earned through awards that are available in the wallet can be subject to an expiration date (e.g., end of the month or year). Expiration transactions debit expired amounts from the wallet. Funds can be returned to the wallet by voiding the debit wallet transaction (e.g., in case the award was expired by error).
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
...
Wallets in CRM.COM are mostly used to pay for prepaid subscriptions and to redeem awards.
Funds can be deducted from the wallet by creating debit wallet transactions.
Select NEW from the wallet transaction Data Entry page or by selecting Debit Wallet from the Actions Panel of the wallet Data Entry page.
Executing a prepaid billing run
Prepaid subscription services are billed through a prepaid billing run. When a prepaid billing run is executed, services are billed and funds are directly deducted from the subscriber's wallet.
The wallet is debited by using debit wallet transactions.
Canceling a payment - Voiding
If a payment made to the account (resulting in a credit wallet transaction) is canceled, the respective wallet funds are deducted from the wallet by voiding the transaction.
Canceling an award transaction - Voiding
If an award is canceled (e.g., in case the participant returns the products that gained him the award) funds can be removed from the wallet by voiding the credit wallet transaction.
Creating a spend transaction
Awards credit the wallet of reward participants. Awards can be redeemed through spend transactions which debit the wallet. A debit wallet transaction is created to reflect the spend reward transaction.
Spend transactions are triggered by 'spend request' customer events.
Executing a wallet expiration run
Awarded funds available in the wallet can be subject to period validity constraints (e.g., until the end of the month or year). Expiration transactions trigger debit wallet transactions that remove the expired amounts from the wallet.
Transferring to account
Funds can be moved from the wallet to the associated account, debiting the wallet.
Paying off a bill or an invoice using wallet funds
An outstanding bill or invoice can be settled using the unconditional balance in the wallet (through the WEB API only).
Reimbursing an account through a wallet
...
Funds from a defunct wallet can be preserved and reimbursed into an accounts receivable. The maximum amount that can be reimbursed is specified in the wallet definition.
Canceling a wallet
When a wallet is canceled, its balance is transferred to the associated accounts receivable through a reimburse transaction.
Replacing a prepaid subscription accounts receivable
Funds are reimbursed from wallets whose accounts receivable is no longer associated with a prepaid subscription.
Manually reimbursing an account
Automatic reimbursement can be disabled for more control.
To manually reimburse an amount create a NEW reimbursement transaction in the wallet transaction Summary page or use the Reimburse Wallet action from the Action Panel on the Data Entry page of the destination wallet.
Voiding a wallet transaction
...
Voiding reverts a wallet transaction, removing funds that were added to the wallet or adding funds that were deducted from it. Credit, debit, reimburse and transfer wallet transactions can be voided. Voiding is in most cases undertaken by the system, as configured in the wallet definitions, resulting in crediting or debiting the wallet.
To manually void a wallet transaction use VOID from the Actions menu in the transaction's Data Entry page and then click on SAVE in the modal window.
Voided transactions remain visible.
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
...
Funds can be transferred from one wallet to another by:
- Creating a NEW transfer wallet transaction from the wallet transactions Summary page.
- Using the transfer wallet transaction action from the Data Entry page of the source wallet.
- Using the respective transfer to wallet action in the Action Panel.
When transferring funds three transactions are created:
- Wallet transfer transaction
- Debit wallet transaction (debits the source wallet)
- Credit wallet transaction (credits destination wallet)
| Preconditions | Source and destination wallets must be 'Effective'. Source wallet must have sufficient funds. |
|---|
Transferring money from wallet to account
...
Funds can be transferred from the wallet to the associated accounts receivable by using 'Transfer to Account' from the Action Panel of the wallet Data Entry page. Only the unconditional balance of the account can be transferred (debiting the wallet).
It is also possible to transfer funds to other accounts not associated with the wallet.
Wallet money allotments
...
Wallets are used to finance prepaid subscriptions and administer award transactions.
CRM.COM uses wallet transaction allotments to impose restrictions on the consumption of wallet funds. Allotted funds must be spent either on specific products or on certain dates or at designated merchants.
Allotments are displayed in the respective section of credit and debit wallet transactions, available in the wallet and wallet transaction Data Entry pages and through the wallet balance breakdown section available in the wallet Data Entry page.
In credit wallet transactions, allotments designate how funds 'can be' spent, while in debit wallet transactions, they designate how funds 'were' spent.
The system makes automatic allotments:
- When vouchers are used to fund prepaid subscription products.
- For transactions that debit the wallet during prepaid billing runs.
- For award transactions (spend conditions defined in reward offers are added in the wallet allotment conditions).
Allotments can also be made manually
Creating and maintaining reward transactions in the default currency and the alternative currency of the wallet
...
Reward processes that create award, spend and award expiration transactions display the amount in the default and alternative currency, and the applicable exchange rate.
- Award transactions: the amount is converted into either currency, depending on the award of the reward offer.
- Spend transactions: wallet owners can spend their wallet balance in either currency.
- Award expiration transactions: wallet balance in either currency is debited when an amount expires.
Purchasing electronic payment vouchers (eVouchers) using wallet funds
...
- There should be sufficient funds in the wallet to cover the purchase
- Buying eVouchers results in debiting the wallet (value of voucher type * number of vouchers). The requested vouchers are generated automatically.
- If the wallet amount is allotted to a specific set of products or product types, then the customer must have sufficient funds allotted for at least one of the products supported by the voucher.
Applying business flows on wallets
Expiring wallet balance
...
Wallet funds (especially awards earned through reward offers) are subject to expiration.
Funds added through credit wallet transactions can also be created with validity parameters.
The expiration process can identify unspent/expired wallet amounts and deduct them from the wallet balance.
When awarded funds expire, an awards expiration transaction is created which debits the wallet.
This background process is executed every 1 hour.
- Navigate to Foundation > Platform > Manage Admin Settings > Batch Processes Admin Board
- Go to Recurring System Processes
- In Execute Wallet Balance Expiration Runs click on:
- 'View Logs' to view already executed runs.
- 'Stop' to stop the execution of the run.
Viewing future wallet balance
...
The 'Validity Date' of funds in a wallet affects the available balance. Setting the 'Validity date' in the future restricts when the money can be spent. This is ideal for allotments and awards.
To view the balance that will be available once the funds are valid, use 'View Future Balance' from the Action panel of the wallet Data Entry page and enter the date.
Viewing product consumption
...
Product consumption information is relevant to wallets used to fund prepaid subscriptions. The utility provides an estimation of the days left until the wallet funds run out, based on current service consumption. For example, if you have €20 in your wallet and you are subscribed to a service with a flat rate of €1/day, then the Estimated Date of Full Amount Consumption will be 20 days.
Prepaid billing run and bill subscription actions automatically calculate estimations. The estimations can be accessed through the View Product Consumption action available in the Action panel.
Enforcing wallet consumption
...
In order to fund a prepaid subscription and avoid deactivation, a wallet must have a sufficient balance to cover all subscription services.
In case the wallet balance is not sufficient to activate a prepaid service for its pre-rated duration, the services will be deactivated and the balanced will not be affected.
To avoid deactivation, the customer may select to use the existing balance to fund his subscription services for a shorter period, by using the Enforce Wallet Consumption action.
| Note |
|---|
The action can only be performed on prepaid pre-rated services. For more information, refer to Billing of Prepaid Subscriptions. |
Viewing the balance breakdown
...
The balance breakdown displays a list of credit records that make up the total available wallet balance. The records are grouped on common conditions, that designate how (on which reward partners and products) and when the funds can be spent.
Search criteria can be used to limit the displayed balance, based on conditions applied to wallet funds. The conditional and unconditional balance is displayed, as well as the total balance (in the absence of search criteria).
| Note |
|---|
Funds valid in the future are not taken into consideration in the balance calculation. |
Viewing beneficiaries
...
Wallets are used to fund prepaid subscriptions and to handle awards and spends. While a wallet can fund more than one subscription, it can only be used on one reward participant.
To view prepaid subscriptions and reward participants funded through the wallet, click on View Beneficiaries in the Action panel.
Communicating wallet information
...
Information on wallets can be communicated by using the Communicate Wallets action available through the Actions menu.
You can use tags (text that is automatically replaced by values specific to selected records) related to wallets when creating communications. Tags are available for selection by typing '#'.
Refer to the Communications manual for a complete list of wallets tags.
Notifying wallet amount
...
CRM.COM enables the user to group customers for communication purposes. Customers can benefit from wallet specific information (such as when their funds are running low or when awards are about to expire).
For more information, view Notifications.
Funds can be transferred between customers and between companies (partners and merchants) and customers. Companies (partners and merchants) are identified by their accounts receivable and customers are identified by their wallets.
Electronic money policies use two types of fees, one for transactions and one for maintenance (a fee charged on wallets).
Refer to Electronic Money Policies Definition for system configuration information.
Wallet Transaction Fees
Variable system fees charged on the customer wallet or account. The fees are calculated as a percentage of the transaction depending on the transfer type, and expressed in the currency of the account, as defined by the transaction rule (or the fee ceiling, in case the percentage exceeds the cap amount). If the account currency is different than the system default, the fee is converted accordingly.
Wallet transaction fees are applied in the following cases:
- Wallet to account transactions (customer to partner)
- The account of the partner is charged
- Account to wallet transactions (partner to customer)
- The account of the partner is charged
Wallet to wallet transactions (customer to customer)
- The wallet of the customer initiating the transactions is charged
- If a wallet cannot cover the transaction fee it is rejected.
Wallet Maintenance Fees
A recurring background process that is executed once a day calculates the fees.
Wallets that have been inactive for the period defined in the electronic money policy and have a positive balance are charged the maintenance fee, as defined in the maintenance rule. The date of the last (non-maintenance) transaction is used to calculate wallet activity.
When the wallet balance is not sufficient to cover the maintenance fee, the wallet is charged its remaining balance.
Like transaction fees, maintenance fees are applied in the currency of the wallet. If that is different from the system default currency, the amount is converted.
- Navigate to Foundation > Platform > Manage Admin Settings > Batch Processes Admin Board
- Go to Recurring System Processes
- In Execute Wallet Balance Expiration Runs click on:
- 'View Logs' to view already executed runs.
- 'Stop' to stop the execution of the run.
