FDMSDetailRecord Component
Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors
The FDMSDetailRecord component is a tool used to create off-line Credit or Force transactions to be settled by the FDMSSETTLE component. The FDMSDetailRecord component may also be used to modify the XML aggregates returned by the FDMSRETAIL or FDMSECOMMERCE component's GetDetailAggregate method.
Syntax
nsoftware.InPayDirect.Fdmsdetailrecord
Remarks
Credit and Force transactions are off-line transactions. This means that there is no authorization of funds using the FDMSECommerce, FDMSRetail components. Instead, you must manually add these transactions to the settlement batch. The FDMSDetailRecord component can be used to create these transactions, which can then be added to the FDMSSettle component's DetailRecord array property.
To create a Credit, first set the TransactionType to ttCredit, and then set the IndustryType. CardEntryDataSource, and DirectMarketingType based on whether you have a card reader, and how your customer is authenticated. The following example shows how this should be set for Direct Marketing:
FDMSDetailRecord.TransactionType = ttCredit FDMSDetailRecord.IndustryType = itDirectMarketing FDMSDetailRecord.CardEntryDataSource = edsManualEntryNoCardReader FDMSDetailRecord.DirectMarketingType = dmECommerce
Next, set the CardNumber, CardExpMonth, CardExpYear, SettlementAmount, and the current TransactionDate and TransactionTime. Since this example is a Direct Marketing transaction, we're also adding the PurchaseIdentifier. Note that since this is an off-line transaction, the AuthorizedAmount MUST be either zero or empty string.
FDMSDetailRecord.CardNumber = "4444333322221111" FDMSDetailRecord.CardExpMonth = 3 FDMSDetailRecord.CardExpYear = 2019 FDMSDetailRecord.AuthorizedAmount = "0" FDMSDetailRecord.SettlementAmount = "5000" '$50.00 FDMSDetailRecord.TransTime = "123456" ' Current time (12:34:56) FDMSDetailRecord.TransDate = "040506" ' Current date (MMDDYY) FDMSDetailRecord.PurchaseIdentifier = "123456"
Finally, set the FDMSSettle component's DetailRecord array property with the value returned by the GetDetailAggregate method. You've just added a Credit to the settlement.
FDMSSettle.DetailRecords.Add(New FDMSRecordType(FDMSDetailRecord.GetDetailAggregate()))
Forced transactions are similar to credits, with the exception that a Forced transaction requires a Voice Authorization code obtained from your acquiring bank's call center. Generally, the purchase of large high-dollar items (cars, appliances, etc) will require the merchant to call and receive a voice authorization. Once this code is received, it should be set to the ResponseApprovalCode property. The following example shows a Force transaction in a Retail environment.
FDMSDetailRecord.TransactionType = ttForce FDMSDetailRecord.IndustryType = itRetail FDMSDetailRecord.CardEntryDataSource = edsTrack1 FDMSDetailRecord.CardNumber = "4444333322221111" FDMSDetailRecord.CardExpMonth = 3 FDMSDetailRecord.CardExpYear = 2019 FDMSDetailRecord.AuthorizedAmount = "0" FDMSDetailRecord.SettlementAmount = "500000" '$5000.00 FDMSDetailRecord.TransTime = "123456" ' Current time (12:34:56) FDMSDetailRecord.TransDate = "040506" ' Current date (MMDDYY) FDMSDetailRecord.ResponseApprovalCode = "123456" FDMSSettle.DetailRecords.Add(New FDMSRecordType(FDMSDetailRecord.GetDetailAggregate()))
In addition to creating Credit and Force transactions, the FDMSDetailRecord component can be used to adjust the Detail Records returned from the FDMSECommerce and FDMSRetail components. The most common reasons to modify these detail records are to add a Gratuity (tip) to a charge (itResturant IndustryType), or to add a PurchaseIdentifier or Installment payment info (itDirectMarketing IndustryType) to the detail record.
For example, to add a gratuity to a charge:
FDMSDetailRecord.ParseAggregate(FDMSRetail.GetDetailAggregate()) FDMSDetailRecord.Gratuity = "500" FDMSDetailRecord.TransactionAmount = FDMSDetailRecord.TransactionAmount + FDMSDetailRecord.Gratuity FDMSSettle.DetailRecords.Add(New FDMSRecordType(FDMSDetailRecord.GetDetailAggregate()))
To settle a transaction authorized with the ttInstallment TransactionType, you must use the FDMSDetailRecord component to add the number of this installment and the total count of all installments to be made. For instance, if the purchase was for "Three easy payments of $19.95", and this is the first payment, then the installment number will be 1, and the installment count 3. An example is included below:
FDMSECommerce.TransactionType = ttInstallment FDMSECommerce.TransactionAmount = "1995" FDMSECommerce.Authorize() FDMSDetailRecord.ParseAggregate FDMSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate() FDMSDetailRecord.InstallmentCount = 3 FDMSDetailRecord.InstallmentNumber = 1 FDMSSettle.DetailRecords.Add(new FDMSRecordType(FDMSDetailRecord.GetDetailAggregate()))
