The refund is processed by the system and once all the requested refunds are processed, a summary report is generated.
The summary provides:
Total number of refunds requested,
Count of successful refunds,
Count of refunds that failed due to other errors (e.g. network issue, etc),
Count of errors due to exceeding the allowable refundable amount (i.e. the original transaction is of a smaller amount than the requested refund, or if the partial refund is already processed and the allowable refund is lower than requested refund),
Amount successfully refunded.
