Point of Interaction
The Point of Interaction. This may refer to a number of different entities, but is primarily considered to be the Terminal. This object contains the POI details as they pertain to an individual payment, an instance of POI. This does not attempt to define all the settings or attributes that may be associated to a POI. Also, for a specific Acquirer/Contract combination there may be a different instance of the POI(TID). These different relationships are not part of this object.
