# **Explicit Counters** 



Explicit Counters are supposed to be created only in one Program (if Merchant decides to have more than one active program). Explicit Counters will only count the number of failed transactions per customer. This counter track failed transactions on PMT/PM level. **For Example :**  AUTHENTICATION_FAILED counter tracks the number of failed transactions (UPI+Card+NB). One cannot define an Explicit counter specific to UPI/CARD/NB.


### Sample explicit counters,



1. **AUTHORIZATION FAILED**  - The counter "**AUTHORIZATION_FAILED** ", will count the **Number**  of failure transactions for each customer due to Authorization failure and will reset itself every **day** . FRM will return a status of "**PASSED** " till Counter value of **4**  and will return "**FLAGGED** "" till the counter value of **10** . FRM by default will return "Rejected" once the counter value breaches the reject value.
2. **AUTHENTICATION FAILED**  - The counter "**AUTHENTICATION_FAILED** ", will count the **Number**  of failure transactions for each customer due to Authentication failure and will reset itself every day. FRM will return a status of "**PASSED** " till Counter value of **4**  and will return "**FLAGGED** "" till the counter value of **10** . FRM by default will return "Rejected" once the counter value breaches the reject value.
