Credit Card Authorization

[Dave Tenerowicz <dt...@salmonllc.com>]

Currently CC authorization occurs after pick list creation. We need to 
modify this so that credit card authorization occurs at the time of 
order entry. Our client needs this so that the sales rep can inform the 
customer immediately upon order entry if there are any issues with the 
credit card. Final settlement/confirmation of the charge should occur 
when the order is scanned, prior to the actual transfer of the package 
to the shipper.

Does anyone know how intrusive a change is this, and how we would best 
accomplish this?

What are you looking at that leads you to believe this?

This is how credit card authorizations are already handled, ie before  
a confirmation of the order is even sent to the customer (in  
ecommerce) or CSR (in the Order Manager).

An invoice is created for a full or partial order when a shipment  
related to that order goes into the packed status. When the invoice  
is created if the order was setup to be paid by CC the amount on the  
invoice related to that will be captured on the CC.
