API browser of generalInvoiceRequest440 COM module


/images/arrow_right.png IGeneralInvoiceRequest::SetInvoice method
Sets the invoice object reference.
 
The credit, invoice and reminder object references (if supplied in the request) form a object reference chain (credit -> invoice -> reminder) with the reminder as topmost object reference if supplied in the request otherwise the invoice is the topmost object reference (the invoice object is mandatory in all cases!). The page "object reference" provides an in-depth description of the concepts of "object reference", "object reference chain", and "topmost object reference". 		space

HRESULT SetInvoice( BSTR

long
VARIANT_BOOL 		bstrRequestInvoiceID,
dRequestInvoiceDate,
lRequestInvoiceTimestamp,
*pbStatus);
 
/images/arrow_right.png Calling argument description
[in] BSTR bstrRequestInvoiceID The request ID is the main software's identification of the invoice ("Rechnungsnummer").
 
This is one of 3 identifiers that form the invoice object reference.
[in] DATE dRequestInvoiceDate The request date is the main software's date of the invoice request ("Rechnungsdatum")
 
This is one of 3 identifiers that form the invoice object reference.
[in] long lRequestInvoiceTimestamp This is a UNIX timestamp defined at the moment of the invoice infoset generation. Set this variable 0 to indicate the generation of a new invoice object reference. The IGeneralInvoiceRequestManager::GetXML and/or IGeneralInvoiceRequestManager::Print method will return the timestamp that must be used from that point on as 3rd parameter of the object reference.
 
This is one of 3 identifiers that form the invoice object reference. The timestamp will be generated once for a certain invoice object reference and thereafter the timestamp is always referenced.
[out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL *pbStatus Return status of the method. If pbStatus is VARIANT_FALSE then an error occurred and GetAbortInfo should be called to retrieve the error string.
 
/images/arrow_right.png C/C++ return value
S_OK This value is returned if the function call was successful or if the return value of a boolean method signalling a true value. In this case the VARIANT_BOOL is set to VARIANT_TRUE.
S_FALSE This is the return value of a boolean method signalling a false return value. In this case the VARIANT_BOOL is set to VARIANT_FALSE.
E_name This value is returned if the function call was unsuccessful and an error exception was generated. Note that if you are using SmartPointers an exception is thrown under these conditions.
