SendSettlement Method

Begins a Batch Settlement transaction with the transaction server.

Syntax

Remarks

This begins a Batch Settlement transaction. The Header Record, Parameter Record, all transaction Detail Records, and the computed Trailer Record are sent sequentially to the Vital/TSYS host.

If the transaction is successful, the ResponseCode will contain "GB", which indicates a "Good Batch". You should check that the ResponseNetDeposit and ResponseRecordCount match the BatchNetDeposit and BatchRecordCount properties.

If the transaction is not successful and you receive an "RB" ResponseCode (indicating a "Rejected Batch") the control fails with an error. You may inspect the ErrorData. ErrorDataFieldNumber, ErrorRecordType, ErrorSequenceNumber, and ErrorType properties for more information concerning why the batch was rejected. After either fixing this record to resolve the error, or removing the record from the batch, the entire batch must be resubmitted. When resubmitting a batch that was previously rejected, the BatchNumber must be set to the same value that was originally used. It is critical that the same BatchNumber value is used to avoid duplicate charges.
