Primer orchestration hold float is not Authorize.net prior-auth float
PR hold-lag $ is the uncaptured orchestration pile on one Primer capture-workflow cut. Type that pile and the capture-wait hours beside it.
Pair: Auth-to-capture lag on Payments. Authorize.net twin: prior-auth float. Death twin: auth-expire.
What you type
Open auth $ — Dollars Primer authorized that the capture workflow has not yet posted (orchestration / processor export).
Lag hours — Capture-wait hours from auth to capture on that same Primer capture-workflow cut.
PR hold-lag $ equals the uncaptured orchestration pile. Long capture-wait hours usually mean a Primer workflow or processor map lag — chase that orchestration seat; never invent a PR hold-lag chip.
What not to do
Do not invent PR hold-lag $. Do not paste an Authorize.net AIM/CIM prior-auth file or an NMI capture-wait CSV into Primer capture-workflow fields. Do not fold partial-auth shorts or batch-reject counts into the uncaptured pile. Do not treat settled batch cash as orchestration float.

- Dumping an Authorize.net or NMI auth-to-capture file into Primer hold-lag fields.
- Folding Primer partial-auth or batch-reject into hold-lag exposure.

FAQ
- Is this Authorize.net prior-auth float?
- Different processor book. [Authorize.net auth-to-capture lag](/manuals/authorize-net-auth-to-capture-lag) prices AIM/CIM prior-auth dollars. This door only scores Primer’s uncaptured orchestration pile.
- Is a timed-out Primer auth the same metric?
- No. [Auth-expire share](/manuals/primer-auth-expire-share) is expired holds ÷ auths. Keep this page for dollars still waiting on capture workflow.
- Can I invent PR hold-lag $?
- No. Pull the uncaptured orchestration pile and capture-wait hours from the same Primer capture-workflow cut.
