Authorize.net issuer-slice gap is not NMI partial-auth gap
Score requested auth $ − partial auth $ against requested auth $ on one Authorize.net issuer cut. That score is AN issuer-slice %.
Pair: Partial-auth gap on Payments. NMI twin: partial auth. Settle twin: partial-settle.
What you type
Requested auth $ — Dollars Authorize.net asked the issuer to hold on the cut.
Partial auth $ — Dollars the issuer actually approved (partial authorization) in that same cut.
Gap $ = requested − partial. AN issuer-slice % = gap ÷ requested × 100. Fat AN issuer-slice % usually means issuer / cart rules — chase that path; never invent an AN issuer-slice chip.
What not to do
Never invent AN issuer-slice %. Never dump an NMI partial-auth or Authorize.net partial-settle export into Authorize.net first-hold fields. Never fold partial-capture into issuer-slice $. Never blend MIDs when one issuer seat owns the slice pile.

FAQ
- Is this NMI partial-auth gap?
- Different gateway export. [Partial auth gap](/manuals/nmi-partial-auth-gap) reads NMI issuer partials. Here you only score Authorize.net requested vs partial auth $ on an Authorize.net issuer cut.
- Is this Authorize.net partial-settle gap?
- Sibling Authorize.net door on settle slices, not first-hold partials. [Partial-settle gap](/manuals/authorize-net-partial-settle-gap) is partial-settled $ ÷ captured $. This page is requested auth $ vs partial auth $.
- What AN issuer-slice % should I invent?
- None. Pull requested auth $ and partial auth $ from the same Authorize.net issuer cut.
