==============================================================================================

**Products Included:** Fraud Management Essentials  
**Region/Country:** Global  
**Expected Release Date:** May 2025  
**Internal Epic Number:** 17231  
For all transactions that are reviewed by Fraud Management Essentials (FME), a new *declined* status will be generated for any transaction that invokes a declination or error response. Today, these transactions are not included in FME. This status will be final and will not be subsequently editable. The introduction of this new status allows:
* Declined transactions to appear in FME Order Search query results and Order Details screens.
* Declined transactions to be subject to marking tool functionality.
* Declined transactions to be included in total transaction volume across applicable FME reports and reporting capabilities.  
  **Customer Impact**  
  By identifying service declines and errors, merchants can track decline rates, allowing them to detect changes that may adversely impact their site.
