[[Source]](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/blob/master/src/ripple/protocol/impl/TER.cpp "Source") [[Source]](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/blob/master/src/ripple/protocol/impl/TER.cpp "Source")
These codes indicate that the transaction failed, but it was applied to a ledger to apply the [transaction cost](../../../../concepts/transactions/transaction-cost.md). They have numerical values in the range 100 to 199. It is recommended to use the text code, not the numeric value. These codes indicate that the transaction did not succeed, but it was applied to a ledger to apply the [transaction cost](../../../../concepts/transactions/transaction-cost.md) and may have had other side effects to the ledger. The `tec` codes have numerical values in the range 100 to 199. It is recommended to use the text code, not the numeric value.
Transactions with `tec` codes destroy the XRP paid as a [transaction cost](../../../../concepts/transactions/transaction-cost.md), and consume a [sequence number](../../data-types/basic-data-types.md#account-sequence). For the most part, the transactions take no other action, but there are some exceptions. For example, a transaction that results in `tecOVERSIZE` still cleans up some [unfunded offers](../../../../concepts/tokens/decentralized-exchange/offers.md#lifecycle-of-an-offer). Always look at the [transaction metadata](../metadata.md) to see precisely what a transaction did. A transaction that fails with a `tec` code destroys the XRP paid as a [transaction cost](../../../../concepts/transactions/transaction-cost.md) and consumes a [sequence number](../../data-types/basic-data-types.md#account-sequence). Although the transaction did not succeed, it may also cause some bookkeeping or cleanup work to be done. For example, a transaction that results in `tecOVERSIZE` still removes some [unfunded offers](../../../../concepts/tokens/decentralized-exchange/offers.md#lifecycle-of-an-offer). Always look at the [transaction metadata](../metadata.md) to see precisely what a transaction did.
