Can you create and save a Transaction with the SDK rengeek33 02-16-2007

I am a developer and have created an add-in for RMS that allows the user to
pop-up my window with a Custom button, import a file from their CC processer
and ACH processer, and import the records into my tables.

Now I want to create a Sales transaction based on this information. I can
use the OpenRecordset object to get the Customer ID (I have the Account
Number) and I can InitializeTransaction (it is successful), but most of the
properties are GET so I cannot set them in order to finally POST it.

Can this be done? If so, is there are sample code about this (the sample in
the SDK is useless for that - as far as I have seen anyway). Or do I need to
save directly to the tables?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Don

HI Rengeek, I think you first need the customization guide which tell you all
the steps require to develop your on add-on and utilitites to accomodate this.
Yes it is quite possible to do so but again you should have the
customization guide and gone through with it.

I guess I have a very similar situation. I have the customization guide to
start with. Every week or so I have a "batch" of orders that are taken by a
call center. Once we receive their batch I will be processing the credit
cards in bulk outside of RMS. For every card that is approved I need to be
able to then create a sale in RMS for each order. This is for three reasons,
inventory, sales reporting, and customer order history. I plan to use a new
tender to indicate they were charged outside of RMS. Is there a way to
"batch" all of these orders into RMS without going through the Internet
Orders processing? I am still trying to get my head around the CG and how it
all works since there seem to be very little in the way of examples.

One final question. For orders entered into RMS directly or via Internet
Orders (not the batch I described above) would I use the TenderEnd hook if I
wanted to write an interface to print address/postage labels with Stamps.com
for an order after it was approved? I have the documentation from Stamps.com
but want to make sure I understand how I can tie it all together.

Yes, what I am trying to do is very similar to your first process. I will
let you know if anyone gives me help on this. The CG is not very helpful,
except as a reference - not as a How-To.

I do have the guide and have used it to create other add-ins (both HTML and
COM), but it is VERY unclear about the process I am asking about and when
looking at the classes, most of the properties are GET, not LET so I cannot
assign values in order to enter what I need.

Thanks for the response, but that did not answer my question.
