TSYSLevel3 Control

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The TSYSLevel3 control is a tool used to create Level3 Corporate Purchasing Card addendum aggregates, which can then be passed to the TSYSSETTLE control and settled.

Syntax

TSYSLevel3

Remarks

This TSYSLevel3 control creates Level III addendum data, which can be sent in the settlement to achieve a better interchange rate when accepting corporate purchasing cards. The Level III addendum allows the merchant to send very detailed information about every item that was purchased by the card holder, as well as tax and shipping information.

This control creates a different addendum aggregate based on the CardType. Visa and MasterCard addendums differ slightly, and therefore a slightly different set of properties are required for each.

The following properties are valid for both tctVisa and tctMasterCard CardTypes.

• PurchaseIdentifier
• LocalTax
• NationalTax
• PurchaseOrder
• FreightAmount
• DutyAmount
• DestinationZip
• ShipFromZip
• DestinationCountry
• LineItemDescription
• LineItemDiscountAmount
• LineItemProductCode
• LineItemQuantity
• LineItemTaxAmount
• LineItemTaxRate
• LineItemTotal
• LineItemUnits

Additional properties for the tctVisa CardType include:

• MerchantTaxId
• CustomerTaxId
• CommodityCode
• DiscountAmount
• TaxInvoiceNumber
• OrderDate
• FreightTaxAmount
• FreightTaxRate
• LineItemCommodityCode
• LineItemUnitCost

Additional properties for the tctMasterCard CardType include:

• AlternateTaxAmount
• AlternateTaxId
• LineItemDiscountRate
• LineItemTaxIncluded
• LineItemTaxType

The following example illustrates how to build a Level III addendum for the tctVisa CardType: 'First authorize the credit card TSYSECommerce1.TransactionAmount = "53" TSYSECommerce.Authorize() 'Then, put the result into the settlement component TSYSSettle.DetailRecordCount = 1 TSYSSettle.DetailAggregate[0] = TSYSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate() 'Now build the Level3 Extension. 'The following properties are required for a Visa Corporate Purchasing Card: TSYSLevel3.CardType = tctVisa TSYSLevel3.LocalTax = "EXEMPT" TSYSLevel3.NationalTax = "0" TSYSLevel3.PurchaseOrder = "purchOrdNum" TSYSLevel3.MerchantTaxId = "merchantTaxId" 'Merchant VAT Registration Number TSYSLevel3.CustomerTaxId = "customerTaxId" 'Customer VAT Registration Number TSYSLevel3.CommodityCode = "fake" TSYSLevel3.DiscountAmount = "0" TSYSLevel3.FreightAmount = "0" TSYSLevel3.DutyAmount = "0" TSYSLevel3.DestinationZip = "27709" TSYSLevel3.ShipFromZip = "27709" TSYSLevel3.DestinationCountry = "840" TSYSLevel3.TaxInvoiceNumber = "VATInvoiceRefNo" TSYSLevel3.OrderDate = "060526" TSYSLevel3.FreightTaxAmount = "0" TSYSLevel3.FreightTaxRate = "0" 'Begin adding line items: TSYSLevel3.LineItemCount = 2 TSYSLevel3.LineItemCommodityCode(0) = "fake" TSYSLevel3.LineItemDescription(0) = "hardware" TSYSLevel3.LineItemProductCode(0) = "productCode123" TSYSLevel3.LineItemQuantity(0) = 1 TSYSLevel3.LineItemUnits(0) = "" TSYSLevel3.LineItemUnitCost(0) = "33" TSYSLevel3.LineItemTaxAmount(0) = "0" TSYSLevel3.LineItemTaxRate(0) = "0" TSYSLevel3.LineItemDiscountAmount(0) = "0" TSYSLevel3.LineItemTotal(0) = "33" TSYSLevel3.LineItemCommodityCode(1) = "fake" TSYSLevel3.LineItemDescription(1) = "hardware" TSYSLevel3.LineItemProductCode(1) = "productCode124" TSYSLevel3.LineItemQuantity(1) = 1 TSYSLevel3.LineItemUnits(1) = "" TSYSLevel3.LineItemUnitCost(1) = "20" TSYSLevel3.LineItemTaxAmount(1) = "0" TSYSLevel3.LineItemTaxRate(1) = "0" TSYSLevel3.LineItemDiscountAmount(1) = "0" TSYSLevel3.LineItemTotal(1) = "20" 'Finally, add the Level3 addendum to the same index in the settlement. TSYSSettle.DetailRecordAddendum(0) = TSYSLevel31.GetAddendum()

A Level III addendum for the tctMasterCard CardType is constructed similarly:

'First authorize the credit card TSYSECommerce1.TransactionAmount = "200" TSYSECommerce.Authorize() 'Then, put the result into the settlement component TSYSSettle.DetailRecordCount = 2 TSYSSettle.DetailAggregate[1] = TSYSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate() 'Now build the Level3 Extension.

TSYSSettle1.DetailAddendum(1) = TSYSLevel3.GetAddendum()

Note that while Level3 addendum data is only applicable to corporate purchasing cards, however you may send Level3 data for all Visa and Master Card cards if you wish.

Remarks

This property contains the sales tax associated with the purchase. If the transaction is exempt from local or state taxes, set this property to the text "EXEMPT".

This amount is to be presented with an implied decimal point. For example, US $10.00 must be represented as 1000, and $0.10 is likewise simply 10. The allowable number of significant digits as well as the positioning of any implied decimal point is dictated by the designated CurrencyCode configuration setting. In the United States (default), the number of allowable significant digits is seven. Thus the maximum TransactionAmount is "9999999", yielding a US dollar amount of $99,999.99.

Config Method (TSYSLevel3 Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

tsyslevel3control.Config ConfigurationString

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
