Decline Recovery Report

This report enables you to examine the effectiveness of your retry strategies. Using a cohort based on initial billing attempts that occur between the Start and End dates of a report, and which all have the same Initial Response Code, the Decline Recovery report tracks Retry results to-date as of the Report Run Date. The report automatically extends to the number of configured Retry attempts that have occurred to-date. Bear in mind that a cohort consists of invoices with initial billing attempts between the Start and End dates of the report that also share the same Initial Response Code and Currency. Performance is tracked, through multiple retries, all the way through the retry period (if run after a complete Retry cycle has finished), providing a complete picture of the end results of your retry strategy.

This report can be generated using Reports 1.0 or Reports 2.0 data engine.

Reports 1.0 data engineProvides the data you need in the reports up to near real-time. Reports data is displayed in UTC time zone. Reports 1.0 lets you select which display columns to include in the report. Report generation is slow and typically lasts several hours.
Reports 2.0 data engine (default)Supports 20 most commonly used Subscribe reports. Reports 2.0 operates in UTC time zone. You can select which time zone to use for the report data display. Reports display all the available columns. Data is available for the prior two years and up to the previous day according to UTC time. Report generation is quicker as data is prepared ahead of time, once a day.
Note: For a list of reports 2.0, see Subscribe Reports using the Vindicia Data Platform —Reports 2.0
