GetAddendum Method

Returns a Level2 Purchasing card addendum based on the specified CardType .

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Function GetAddendum() As String

[C#]
public string GetAddendum();

Remarks

The type of addendum created by this component depends upon the value of the CardType property. If the CardType is ctVisa or ctMasterCard the addendum created by the GetAddendum method will be sent as part of ODG41 group (Tags: "OAI", "OA", and "PON"). Properties valid for these CardTypes are: IsTaxExempt, LocalSalesTax, and PurchaseOrderNumber. The following example illustrates how to add a Visa/MasterCard Level2 addendum to a detail record in the settlement:

  TSYSECommerce.Authorize()
  TSYSSettle.DetailRecordCount = 1
  TSYSSettle.DetailAggregate[0] = TSYSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate()
  TSYSLevel2.CardType = ctVisa
  TSYSLevel2.IsTaxExempt = False
  TSYSLevel2.LocalSalesTax = "423" '$4.23
  TSYSLevel2.PurchaseOrderNumber = "12345678901234567"
  TSYSSettle.DetailRecords[0].AddendumAggregate = TSYSLevel2.GetAddendum();

If the CardType is ctAmericanExpress, the addendum created will be Group 21 (ODG21). Only the properties prefixed with "Amex" are applicable in this case. These include: AmexCardholderReference, AmexChargeDescriptor, AmexSalesTax, AmexShippedToZip, and AmexSupplierNumber. The following example shows how to add an American Express Level2 addendum to a detail record in the settlement:

  TSYSECommerce.Authorize()
  TSYSSettle.DetailRecordCount = 2
  TSYSSettle.DetailAggregate[1] = TSYSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate()
  TSYSLevel2.CardType = ctAmericanExpress
  TSYSLevel2.AmexCardholderReference = "INV12345678"
  TSYSLevel2.AmexChargeDescriptor = "Test transaction"
  TSYSLevel2.AmexSalesTax = "373"
  TSYSLevel2.AmexShippedToZip = "90210"
  TSYSLevel2.AmexSupplierNumber = "SUP244568"
  TSYSSettle.DetailRecords[1].AddendumAggregate = TSYSLevel2.GetAddendum();
