If the transaction is approved offline then it is added to the SAF queue to be sent to the host sometime in the future.
When there are offline transactions that are pending, or there is an error in uploading reversals or offline transactions, offline notifications will be shown in the Android notification drawer. They all are grouped under 3 notification groups.
Sample Notifications

There is a SAF diagnostic menu available to see current status and force push pending
transactions in the queue.

Delete a SAF transaction and error reversal
There may be rare scenarios where an Offline transaction or reversal cannot be successfully cleared after exhausting all retry attempts. These transactions may need to be deleted to unblock any transactions remaining in the Offline queue.

When an operator selects the notification, the transaction details will be displayed, along with a delete option. The delete option is protected by the Admin password.
