<P>
<HR>
<H1><A NAME="METHODS">METHODS</A></H1>
<DL>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_new">new HASHREF</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Creates a new customer. To add the customer to the database, see <A HREF="#insert">insert</A>.

<P>
Note that this stores the hash reference, not a distinct copy of the hash
it points to. You can ask the object for a copy with the <EM>hash</EM> method.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_insert">insert</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Adds this customer to the database. If there is an error, returns the
error, otherwise returns false.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_delete">delete NEW_CUSTNUM</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
This deletes the customer. If there is an error, returns the error,
otherwise returns false.

<P>
This will completely remove all traces of the customer record. This is not
what you want when a customer cancels service; for that, cancel all of the
customer's packages (see <A HREF="../FS/cust_pkg.html#cancel">cancel</A>).

<P>
If the customer has any packages, you need to pass a new (valid) customer
number for those packages to be transferred to.

<P>
You can't delete a customer with invoices (see <A HREF="../FS/cust_bill.html">FS::cust_bill</A>), or credits (see <A HREF="../FS/cust_credit.html">FS::cust_credit</A>).

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_replace">replace OLD_RECORD</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If there is an
error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_check">check</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid customer record. If there is
an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert
and repalce methods.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_all_pkgs">all_pkgs</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Returns all packages (see <A HREF="../FS/cust_pkg.html">FS::cust_pkg</A>) for this customer.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_ncancelled_pkgs">ncancelled_pkgs</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Returns all non-cancelled packages (see <A HREF="../FS/cust_pkg.html">FS::cust_pkg</A>) for this customer.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_bill">bill OPTIONS</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Generates invoices (see <A HREF="../FS/cust_bill.html">FS::cust_bill</A>) for this customer. Usually used in conjunction with the collect method.

<P>
The only currently available option is `time', which bills the customer as
if it were that time. It is specified as a UNIX timestamp; see
<EM>perlfunc</EM>). Also see <A HREF="../Time/Local.html">Time::Local</A> and <A HREF="../Date/Parse.html">Date::Parse</A> for conversion functions.

<P>
If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_collect">collect OPTIONS</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
(Attempt to) collect money for this customer's outstanding invoices (see
<A HREF="../FS/cust_bill.html">FS::cust_bill</A>). Usually used after the bill method.

<P>
Depending on the value of `payby', this may print an invoice (`BILL'),
charge a credit card (`CARD'), or just add any necessary (pseudo-)payment
(`COMP').

<P>
If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

<P>
Currently available options are:

<P>
invoice_time - Use this time when deciding when to print invoices and late
notices on those invoices. The default is now. It is specified as a UNIX
timestamp; see <EM>perlfunc</EM>). Also see <A HREF="../Time/Local.html">Time::Local</A> and <A HREF="../Date/Parse.html">Date::Parse</A>
for conversion functions.

<P>
batch_card - Set this true to batch cards (see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_pay_batch.html#">the cust_pay_batch manpage</A>). By default, cards are processed immediately, which will generate an
error if CyberCash is not installed.

<P>
report_badcard - Set this true if you want bad card transactions to return
an error. By default, they don't.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_total_owed">total_owed</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Returns the total owed for this customer on all invoices (see <A HREF="../FS/cust_bill.html">FS::cust_bill</A>).

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_total_credited">total_credited</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Returns the total credits (see <A HREF="../FS/cust_credit.html">FS::cust_credit</A>) for this customer.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_balance">balance</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Returns the balance for this customer (total owed minus total credited).

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_invoicing_list">invoicing_list [ ARRAYREF ]</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
If an arguement is given, sets these email addresses as invoice recipients
(see <A HREF="../FS/cust_main_invoice.html">FS::cust_main_invoice</A>). Errors are not fatal and are not reported (except as warnings), so use
check_invoicing_list first.

<P>
Returns a list of email addresses (with svcnum entries expanded).

<P>
Note: You can clear the invoicing list by passing an empty ARRAYREF. You
can check it without disturbing anything by passing nothing.

<P>
This interface may change in the future.

<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_check_invoicing_list">check_invoicing_list ARRAYREF</A></STRONG><DD>
<P>
Checks these arguements as valid input for the invoicing_list method. If
there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

<H1><A NAME="BUGS">BUGS</A></H1>
<P>
The delete method.

<P>
The delete method should possibly take an FS::cust_main object reference
instead of a scalar customer number.

<P>
Bill and collect options should probably be passed as references instead of
a list.

<P>
CyberCash v2 forces us to define some variables in package main.

<P>
There should probably be a configuration file with a list of allowed credit
card types.

<P>
CyberCash is the only processor.

<P>
No multiple currency support (probably a larger project than just this
module).
