Invoicing for Cancellations and Payouts

In terms of invoicing, there are two kinds of transactions that stand out:

• For payouts, you create regular invoices with the addCgInvoice command.

• For cancellations, you create refund invoices with the refundCgInvoice command.

Cancellations

There is no such thing as a "cancellation invoice".

When a transaction is canceled, you account for it by issuing a refund invoice that matches the original transaction invoice but is a credit rather than a debit.

Although there are separate commands for canceling and refunding (cancelDeal and refundDeal), there is only one command for document generation: refundCgInvoice.

Payouts

Payouts are credit transactions in which you pay the customer, regardless of the original payment.

For invoicing purposes, payouts are handled just like regular transactions: you use the addCgInvoice command with the payout’s transaction ID (tranId).

The refundCgInvoice command does not apply to payouts: even though a payout is a credit transaction, it does not require a refund invoice.
