Post transaction flow includes steps like clearance and settlement. In case of Sodexo, the settlements are processed by the Sodexo team based on the Transaction Extract provided by Zeta team.
Clearance

GPRS Terminals - There is an explicit clearance process which is triggered by the Switch.
ZPOS Terminals - All the transactions on ZPOS terminals are auto-cleared every day by the Zeta settlements service.
All the cleared transactions in a day are provided in the daily ZSR File and all the pending uncleared transactions are provided in the USR File.
Transaction Extract File
