NAME

FS::agent - Object methods for agent records

SYNOPSIS

 use FS::agent;

 $record = new FS::agent \%hash;
 $record = new FS::agent { 'column' => 'value' };

 $error = $record->insert;

 $error = $new_record->replace($old_record);

 $error = $record->delete;

 $error = $record->check;

 $agent_type = $record->agent_type;

 $hashref = $record->pkgpart_hashref;
 #may purchase $pkgpart if $hashref->{$pkgpart};

DESCRIPTION

An FS::agent object represents an agent. Every customer has an agent. Agents can be used to track things like resellers or salespeople. FS::agent inherits from FS::Record. The following fields are currently supported:

agentnum

agent
Text name of this agent
typenum
Agent type (see FS::agent_type)
ticketing_queueid
Ticketing Queue
invoice_template
Invoice template name
agent_custnum
Optional agent customer (see FS::cust_main)
disabled
Disabled flag, empty or 'Y'
prog
Deprecated (never used)
freq

username
(Deprecated) Username for the Agent interface
_password

METHODS

new HASHREF
Creates a new agent. To add the agent to the database, see "insert".
insert
Adds this agent to the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.
delete
Deletes this agent from the database. Only agents with no customers can be deleted. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.
replace OLD_RECORD
Replaces OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.
check
Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid agent. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert and replace methods.
agent_type
Returns the FS::agent_type object (see FS::agent_type) for this agent.
agent_cust_main
Returns the FS::cust_main object (see FS::cust_main), if any, for this agent.
agent_currency
Returns the FS::agent_currency objects (see FS::agent_currency), if any, for this agent.
agent_currency_hashref
Returns a hash references of supported additional currencies for this agent.
pkgpart_hashref
Returns a hash reference. The keys of the hash are pkgparts. The value is true if this agent may purchase the specified package definition. See FS::part_pkg.
ticketing_queue
Returns the queue name corresponding with the id from the ticketing_queueid field, or the empty string.
payment_gateway [ OPTION => VALUE, ... ]
Returns a payment gateway object (see FS::payment_gateway) for this agent.
Currently available options are nofatal, invnum, method, payinfo, and thirdparty.
If nofatal is set, and no gateway is available, then the empty string will be returned instead of throwing a fatal exception.
If invnum is set to the number of an invoice (see FS::cust_bill) then an attempt will be made to select a gateway suited for the taxes paid on the invoice.
The method and payinfo options can be used to influence the choice as well. Presently only 'CC', 'ECHECK', and 'PAYPAL' methods are meaningful.
When the method is 'CC' then the card number in payinfo can direct this routine to route to a gateway suited for that type of card.
If thirdparty is set, the defined self-service payment gateway will be returned.
invoice_modes
Returns all FS::invoice_mode objects that are valid for this agent (i.e. those with this agentnum or null agentnum).
num_prospect_cust_main
Returns the number of prospects (customers with no packages ever ordered) for this agent.
prospect_cust_main
Returns the prospects (customers with no packages ever ordered) for this agent, as cust_main objects.
num_ordered_cust_main
Returns the number of ordered customers for this agent (customers with packages ordered, but not yet billed).
ordered_cust_main
Returns the ordered customers for this agent (customers with packages ordered, but not yet billed), as cust_main objects.
num_active_cust_main
Returns the number of active customers for this agent (customers with active recurring packages).
active_cust_main
Returns the active customers for this agent, as cust_main objects.
num_inactive_cust_main
Returns the number of inactive customers for this agent (customers with no active recurring packages, but otherwise unsuspended/uncancelled).
inactive_cust_main
Returns the inactive customers for this agent, as cust_main objects.
num_susp_cust_main
Returns the number of suspended customers for this agent.
susp_cust_main
Returns the suspended customers for this agent, as cust_main objects.
num_cancel_cust_main
Returns the number of cancelled customer for this agent.
cancel_cust_main
Returns the cancelled customers for this agent, as cust_main objects.
num_active_cust_pkg
Returns the number of active customer packages for this agent.
num_inactive_cust_pkg
Returns the number of inactive customer packages (one-time packages otherwise unsuspended/uncancelled) for this agent.
num_susp_cust_pkg
Returns the number of suspended customer packages for this agent.
num_cancel_cust_pkg
Returns the number of cancelled customer packages for this agent.
num_on_hold_cust_pkg
Returns the number of inactive customer packages (one-time packages otherwise unsuspended/uncancelled) for this agent.
num_not_yet_billed_cust_pkg
Returns the number of inactive customer packages (one-time packages otherwise unsuspended/uncancelled) for this agent.
generate_reg_codes NUM PKGPART_ARRAYREF
Generates the specified number of registration codes, allowing purchase of the specified package definitions. Returns an array reference of the newly generated codes, or a scalar error message.
