Merchant generated number used to identify the transaction.

Syntax

 fdmsbenefit.getReceiptNumber([callback])
 fdmsbenefit.setReceiptNumber( receiptNumber, [callback])

Default Value

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getReceiptNumber([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setReceiptNumber([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property is required for Debit transaction clearing, and should contain a unique 6-digit trace number identifying the transaction. The merchant application should generate a unique number for each Debit or EBT transaction. If a Debit or EBT transaction is voided or reversed, the ReceiptNumber of the original transaction should be used. The receipt number must be passed to the FDMS Host on both the Debit/EBT authorization request and the batch settlement detail. It must also be printed on the customer receipt. Used such, this number satisfies Debit Network Provider requirements.
