Answer 1

The request is missing the company name under the “RequestorID”. This element should be filed with a concrete value.

Expected in the request:

   <POS>
      <Source PseudoCityCode="xxxx">
         <RequestorID Type="1" Instance="1" ID="1">
       <CompanyName Code="TN"/>
       </RequestorID>
      </Source>
   </POS>

As a consequence of not having this element “CompanyName“ in the request, the transaction failed, defaulted the response to version="1.0" and the returned the warning saying that the version is deprecated. This is something being reviewed to enhance, but should resolve the problem.
