NAME
    FS::agent_type - Object methods for agent_type records

SYNOPSIS
      use FS::agent_type;

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

      $error = $record->insert;

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

      $error = $record->delete;

      $error = $record->check;

DESCRIPTION
    An FS::agent_type object represents an agent type. Every agent
    (see the FS::agent manpage) has an agent type. Agent types
    define which packages (see the FS::part_pkg manpage) may be
    purchased by customers (see the FS::cust_main manpage), via
    FS::type_pkgs records (see the FS::type_pkgs manpage).
    FS::agent_type inherits from FS::Record. The following fields
    are currently supported:

    typenum - primary key (assigned automatically for new agent types)
    atype - Text name of this agent type
METHODS
    new HASHREF
        Creates a new agent type. To add the agent type to the
        database, see the section on "insert".

    insert
        Adds this agent type to the database. If there is an error,
        returns the error, otherwise returns false.

    delete
        Deletes this agent type from the database. Only agent types
        with no agents 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 type.
        If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns
        false. Called by the insert and replace methods.
