MPV is the abbreviation of Merkezi POS Veritabanı (Central POS Database).
It is a system that collects, in a common database at BKM, the information on all POS terminals tracked in their own systems by all card-accepting members of BKM that have POS terminals. Its aims are to support POS terminal support systems, monthly statistical summaries, detailed terminal-based analyses and counterfeit/fraud analyses, and to provide data to the Common POS Management System (OPYS).
What are the MPV notification types?
MPV notifications sent by the bank to BKM are called MPV-OUT; MPV notifications sent by BKM to the bank (as the response to the Out file) are called MPV-IN.
Which codes do banks use for MPV notifications?
Banks make MPV notifications in 3 different ways. Notifications are made in a single file according to the status of the merchant.
- TA: Terminal Add
- TC: Terminal Change (changing terminal information)
- TD: Terminal Delete
When a POS is closed in the bank's system, a Delete record is sent to MPV.
When a POS is created in the bank's system, an Add (Insert) record is sent to MPV.
When POS information is updated in the bank's system, an Update record is sent to MPV.
