I'm providing information back to the customer, in my case the pre-auths are 
very obvious in the bank system to authorise them. If I see 25 failed ones 
and then a succeeded one, I check with the bank about this. Even when there 
are 1-2 wrong ones I check if there could be an issue.

I suppose this could be done (as can everything in Interchange), but I do 
not have an example for that ... I just frequently remove the order files 
from disk. But I'm not getting thousands of orders so I can keep track of 
everything easily.
