Yardi Store Developer eXchange

Cancels a reservation made for specified rental item(s) and/or quote(s). Returns data regarding possible refunds. Note: If the rental contact information is not supplied and the refund data indicates a refund should be processed, the contact information will default to the rental item(s)’ primary contact information. This method also lets you retain the refund, which was not possible in the original method.

Example

As with every method we need to pass in credentials. We do this with the LookupUser request object.

We’ll assume you’ve got a web reference, let’s name it SWS, in your Visual Studio project. At this point we need to our objects. We’ll need the standard service object, a CancelReservationV2 request object and a CancelReservation response object. We can define and create those like this:

// Create a request and response objects and ContactInfo object.
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.CancelReservationV2_Request request = new SWS.CancelReservationV2_Request();
SWS.CancelReservation_Response response;

SWS.ContactInfo contact_info = new SWS.ContactInfo();

Here’s my sample code of the Request object.

// Contact Data
contact_info.AccountID = 123456;
contact_info.Address1 = "123 Main St.";
contact_info.City = "My Town";
contact_info.State = "UT";
contact_info.PostalCode = "00000";
contact_info.ContactName = "First Last";

// To cancel reservations(s)
request.AcctID = 123456;
request.RentalIDs = new long[] { 123456, 654321 };
request.LostDemandReason = SWS.Lost_Demand_Reasons.Availability;
request.LostDemandNotes = "Unit size no longer available";
request.ContactData = contact_info;
request.DenyDepositRefund = true;
request.DenyRefundReason = "They were told the amount was non-refundable.";

Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to cancel the reservation. It’s a good idea to do this in a Try Catch block.

// Call the method that will load the response object
try
{
  response = service.CancelReservationV2(user_request, request);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
   MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

Note that if something goes wrong the service will respond with an exception. You’ll want to take a look at that message returned in that exception so it can be debugged.
