Card Knowledge Level-3 Purchase Card Data

“Level-1” card data is typically associated with consumer transactions and provides limited purchase data back to the cardholder.

“Level-2” data adds more information to benefit the corporate/government/industrial buyer, but the number of fields is limited because of the restricted data capture capabilities provided by most hardware-based POS terminals.

“Level-3” (also known as Level III) line item detail, which is equivalent to the information found on an itemized invoice, requires greater system capability and is provided through 3Delta Systems' payment applications.
