Up to five transactions may be stored in the terminal per acquirer. A transaction may be stored after voice referral, or by using the Forced Transaction or Hotel Mode Completion functions.

This call will take place automatically, normally outside of standard trading hours. After the TMS call has taken place your terminal will print a TMS report, indicating if the communication was successful or has failed.
