Merchant Purge Exception Report
This report provides information about merchants that were set to be purged, but were not purged because the merchant had activity, the purge flags were reset, or changes were made to the Express database after the merchant was purged from the MAS system. The data contained in this report reflects data from the most recent purge cycle.
The report provides information in these columns:
