NAME

FS::svc_external - Object methods for svc_external records

SYNOPSIS

 use FS::svc_external;

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

 $error = $record->insert;

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

 $error = $record->delete;

 $error = $record->check;

 $error = $record->suspend;

 $error = $record->unsuspend;

 $error = $record->cancel;

DESCRIPTION

An FS::svc_external object represents a generic externally tracked service. FS::svc_external inherits from FS::svc_External_Common (and FS::svc_Common). The following fields are currently supported:

svcnum - primary key; id - unique number of external record; title - for invoice line items

METHODS

new HASHREF

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

Note that this stores the hash reference, not a distinct copy of the hash it points to. You can ask the object for a copy with the hash method.

insert [ , OPTION => VALUE ... ]

Adds this external service to the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

The additional fields pkgnum and svcpart (see FS::cust_svc) should be defined. An FS::cust_svc record will be created and inserted.

Currently available options are: depend_jobnum

If depend_jobnum is set (to a scalar jobnum or an array reference of jobnums), all provisioning jobs will have a dependancy on the supplied jobnum(s) (they will not run until the specific job(s) complete(s)).

delete

Delete this record from the database.

replace OLD_RECORD

Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

suspend

Called by the suspend method of FS::cust_pkg (see FS::cust_pkg).

unsuspend

Called by the unsuspend method of FS::cust_pkg (see FS::cust_pkg).

cancel

Called by the cancel method of FS::cust_pkg (see FS::cust_pkg).

check

Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid external service. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert and replace methods.
