Glossary/Transposition error

Transposition error

A transposition error swaps digits in an amount; the difference between incorrect and correct entries is divisible by nine.

Detection

When bank and GL references match but amounts differ by $450 on a $15k wire, divisibility-by-nine heuristics suggest transposition rather than a missing transaction.
