Small change to the way the capture payment screen worked now that we are on R8. It will allow us to accidentally charge the customer too much sometimes and then we have to wait a day to refund. One way this could happen is if we remove an item from an order, then the balance would be less than the authorization. We can always capture a second payment easily, refunds have to wait a day so we would rather have the system protect us from the more costly mistake.

Before the capture amount would automatically populate to the order balance. Now it auto populates to the original authorization amount. I have attached a screenshot for clarity. In the screenshot we would like the capture population to be 1,527.82 instead of the $1,588.79 which was the previous behavior.

good to know, thanks!

That is weird. They made a change in R8 and it looks like it might not be behaving as intended. Both files have Then R6 has R8 has

So this just needs to be reverted to this then it looks like.

I reported this as a bug, but I still can't figure out why the code was changed between the two versions.

The change we made in Gold R7 was to address the exact inverse of this case. In this case you removed the items which is resulting in order balance less the authorized amount. Previously it was reported by a customer that when they add items to an existing order with authorized payment, capture fails due to capture amount being greater then authorized amount.

I think the correct fix to deal with both situations should be first we check if authorized amount is greater then balance. If it is then we pre populate with balance amount otherwise we use authorized amount. So you need to use

Code: Select all

CaptureAmount.Text = string.Format("{0:F2}", rem > bal ? bal : rem);

This works great, thanks for the explanation. I think this behavior is well designed. Thanks mazhar!
