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 a Group 22 addendum will be created by the GetAddendum method. 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 instead of Group 22. 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();
