NAME

FS::cust_refund - Object method for cust_refund objects

SYNOPSIS

 use FS::cust_refund;

 $record = new FS::cust_refund \%hash;
 $record = new FS::cust_refund { 'column' => 'value' };

 $error = $record->insert;

 $error = $new_record->replace($old_record);

 $error = $record->delete;

 $error = $record->check;

DESCRIPTION

An FS::cust_refund represents a refund: the transfer of money to a customer; equivalent to a negative payment (see FS::cust_pay). FS::cust_refund inherits from FS::Record. The following fields are currently supported:

refundnum - primary key (assigned automatically for new refunds); custnum - customer (see FS::cust_main); refund - Amount of the refund; reason - Reason for the refund; _date - specified as a UNIX timestamp; see "time" in perlfunc. Also see Time::Local and Date::Parse for conversion functions.; payby - Payment Type (See FS::payinfo_Mixin for valid payby values); payinfo - Payment Information (See FS::payinfo_Mixin for data format); paymask - Masked payinfo (See FS::payinfo_Mixin for how this works); paybatch - text field for tracking card processing; otaker - order taker (assigned automatically, see FS::UID); closed - books closed flag, empty or `Y'

METHODS

new HASHREF

Creates a new refund. To add the refund to the database, see "insert".

insert

Adds this refund to the database.

For backwards-compatibility and convenience, if the additional field crednum is defined, an FS::cust_credit_refund record for the full amount of the refund will be created. Or (this time for convenience and consistancy), if the additional field paynum is defined, an FS::cust_pay_refund record for the full amount of the refund will be created. In both cases, custnum is optional.

delete

Unless the closed flag is set, deletes this refund and all associated applications (see FS::cust_credit_refund and FS::cust_pay_refund).

replace OLD_RECORD

Currently unimplemented (accounting reasons).

check

Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid refund. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert method.

cust_credit_refund

Returns all applications to credits (see FS::cust_credit_refund) for this refund.

cust_pay_refund

Returns all applications to payments (see FS::cust_pay_refund) for this refund.

unapplied

Returns the amount of this refund that is still unapplied; which is amount minus all credit applications (see FS::cust_credit_refund) and payment applications (see FS::cust_pay_refund).

CLASS METHODS

unapplied_sql

Returns an SQL fragment to retreive the unapplied amount.

BUGS

Delete and replace methods.
